• not be installed on land designated as a scheduled monument or within the curtilage of a listed
building.
• be removed if it is no longer used for microgeneration.
Ground -mounted systems have also been reviewed. Permitted development only applies to very
small ground mount systems with a footprint less than 9m2, no higher than four meters tall and
must sit at least 5m from boundaries. Anything larger than this requires planning permission.
For any installation, if there is any doubt, we can always talk to the council on your behalf to
ensure a successful way forward.
The panels – which to buy?
As an independent solar panel installation company, we have the freedom to select from a wide
range of manufacturers to ensure we offer the best products for your project. Our choice is based
on rigorous evaluation of their quality, warranties, and support services. By partnering with multiple
manufacturers, we can provide educated design recommendations and source solar panels at
competitive prices.
There are several considerations when
choosing a panel, including:
• Efficiency
• Cost per watt
• Performance warranty and degradation
• Manufacturer
• Size/colour
When considering whether to invest in solar panels, it’s essential to assess your priorities: maximizing
the total power generation from your roof or optimizing your financial return. If your main goal is to
extract the highest possible power output from limited roof space, regardless of budget constraints,
then opting for high-efficiency panels is recommended. However, if your focus is on achieving a
favorable financial return and ensuring aesthetic appeal, it is advisable to prioritize these factors
instead. It is your decision, and we are here to help you on that journey to energy freedom.
