1. What You Need to Know about Solar Panel
Installation

2. Solar panels systems are becoming increasingly commonplace. In fact,
the majority of new builds sport solar panels. Many of us will be
starting to consider whether it’s time for us to install solar panels
systems too. Eventually, we’ll all have solar panels, but for now,
there are still some issues that need addressing. If you’re thinking of
installing then it’s important that you understand a few of the issues
around installation.

3. Planning Permission
In most cases, you do not require planning permission to install solar
panels on your property. Whether you’re installing them on the roof,
which is the norm, or in the garden, which is something that a few
people are choosing to do, you generally will not require planning
permission.
However, there are some exceptions:
 Listed buildings: listed means that English heritage has deemed the
property of historic interest, and consequently that it’s subjected to
special rules and regulations. All properties built before 1700 are
listed, and a large majority of those built between 1700 and 1840
are listed. If it’s listed, you will need special permission to install
solar panels.

4.  The UK has several conservation areas that are also restricted in
terms of planning permission. If you live in a conservation area, you
will have to check with the local council. You will generally be
allowed to install solar panels, because they’re safe for wildlife.
 If you have local association, you may have to check with them
before you install solar panels. Some neighbourhoods like houses to
maintain a certain appearance. They may try to get you to remove
the panels if you install them without consulting with them first.

6. By and large, most planning permission is permitted for solar panels as
they represent an environmental benefit in the form of reducing
carbon emissions and reducing pollution in general. Furthermore,
local councils are often happy to grant planning permission to
residents because it can attract money to the local area. Residents
are spending less on their household bills, and this saving is
generally spent locally. The more people that use solar panels, the
better it is for the local economy.

7. The Roof
Next, you need to understand how the roof affects the solar panels system.
There are a few things to note here:
1. In the UK, solar panels work best when placed on a south-facing roof.
This is because the panel will get more sunlight if it faces in a southerly
direction, so it will generate more electricity.
2. The panels should not be overshadowed by obstructions. You will need
to get rid of any these obstructions if you want the panels to work
properly. This usually means cutting back trees and bushes.
3. The roof must be strong enough to support the extra weight. It is
important that the roof be in a good state of repair. If there’s ever a leak,
or broken tile, it can mean removing the solar panels to repair the
problems. Clearly, by checking that the roof is good before you install the
solar panels, you can help to prevent such problems in the future.
However, there's never any guarantee. Roofs fail quite often, but
checking this before you install the panels will help to avoid any issues.
