# What do I set as the orientation in Quick Roof?

For Quick Roof projects, you have to directly set the orientation rather than it being calculated based on the satellite map. This is done in degrees from south, going clockwise.

**For example:**

<table border="1" id="bkmrk-south%3A-0%C2%B0-from-south" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 65.9524%; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 1px hidden rgb(255, 255, 255);"><colgroup><col style="width: 30.6859%;"></col><col style="width: 69.3141%;"></col></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">- **South**:   
      
    0° from south

</td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">[![image.png](https://help.easy-pv.co.uk/uploads/images/gallery/2025-11/scaled-1680-/vv2gzC6YSRC7DiuN-image.png)](https://help.easy-pv.co.uk/uploads/images/gallery/2025-11/vv2gzC6YSRC7DiuN-image.png)

</td></tr><tr><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">- **South-east**:   
      
    -45° from south

</td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">[![image.png](https://help.easy-pv.co.uk/uploads/images/gallery/2025-11/scaled-1680-/ij3mWVgvu9Wd3RqP-image.png)](https://help.easy-pv.co.uk/uploads/images/gallery/2025-11/ij3mWVgvu9Wd3RqP-image.png)

</td></tr><tr><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">- **South-west**:  
      
    45° from south

</td><td style="border-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">[![image.png](https://help.easy-pv.co.uk/uploads/images/gallery/2025-11/scaled-1680-/7cZBtP7bC7ly2Eqo-image.png)](https://help.easy-pv.co.uk/uploads/images/gallery/2025-11/7cZBtP7bC7ly2Eqo-image.png)
