3

Battery Storage Benefits

Planning & Regulations

Planning Permission & Building Regulations

Most solar installations fall under 'permitted development' rights, but certain properties and installations require specific permissions.

How It Works

1

Permitted Development

Most residential solar installations are permitted development and don't require planning permission. This covers installations on houses, not flats, with panels not significantly higher than the roof line.

2

Listed Buildings

Listed buildings and properties in conservation areas require listed building consent. We have experience navigating these requirements and can guide you through the process.

3

Building Regulations

Solar installations must comply with building regulations, particularly regarding structural loading and electrical safety. Our MCS certification ensures full compliance with all regulations.

Long-Term Ownership

Maintenance & Performance

Solar panels are remarkably low-maintenance, but understanding their long-term performance helps maximise your investment.

Self-Cleaning Design
UK rainfall naturally cleans panels. Occasional cleaning may boost performance by 2-5%, but isn't essential for most installations.
Performance Monitoring
Modern inverters provide real-time monitoring via smartphone apps. You can track daily, monthly, and annual energy generation.
Minimal Maintenance
Annual visual inspections are recommended. Our team provides ongoing support and can arrange professional maintenance if needed.
Degradation Rates
Premium panels degrade less than 0.5% annually. After 25 years, panels typically still produce 85-90% of original output.
Warranty Protection
25-year performance warranties and 10-20 year product warranties protect your investment. We handle all warranty claims.
Weather Resilience
Panels are designed for UK weather including snow, hail, and high winds. They continue generating even in overcast conditions.
