Fife Solar Pro — Expert System
Design for Fife Homeowners
Not a brochure. A technical resource. We explain exactly which panels work best on Fife roofs, how to size your battery correctly, what your PVGIS generation data looks like, and how to configure Octopus Flux for maximum earnings. Then we design and install it — MCS certified, SPEN compliant, precisely specified.

Octopus Flux Strategy
Optimal Fife battery schedule:
00:00–06:00 → Grid charge at ~8p/kWh
06:00–09:00 → Export at ~30p/kWh
09:00–16:00 → Solar charge (free)
16:00–19:00 → Export at ~30p/kWh
~22p/kWh arbitrage profit per cycle
Panel Comparison Preview
Not all solar panels perform the same on Fife's east coast roofs. We compare 2026's top performers — efficiency, warranty, performance in low light, temperature coefficient and real-world generation data.
