Do I Qualify?To qualify you’ll need to own your property, have a suitable roof and depending on your property type, planning or listed building permission may be needed. We’ve outlined some details below to give you an idea of what’s involved. To find out for sure if you qualify, and how much you could be saving if you do, book your FREE no obligation survey with a friendly, knowledgeable MCS accredited SunSolagy installation engineer today. Is my roof suitable? A sloping roof will be suitable providing there is little or no shading and it faces south, south east, south west, east or west (or anything in between). A south facing roof offers best results and gives the highest output. If your roof is north east, north west or north facing it will still generate power, but perhaps not enough to justify the installation from a financial point of view. We’ll confirm this when we do your survey as we don’t let customers go ahead with work that won’t give them a return. A flat roof will be suitable as long as there is little or no shading and that we can find a suitable means of attaching the panels to the roof, either by fixing to the underlying joists or by using free standing frames. Installing panels on a flat roof may require planning permission. Do I need planning permission? Recent changes to planning law mean that a Solar PV system on a domestic dwelling usually counts as a 'permitted development' and can be installed on a sloping roof without the need for planning permission, as long as the panels project no more than 200mm from the roof surface (our panels will comply with this, as long as your installation is on a sloping roof). Sunsolagy has put together a standard letter which you can send to the planning department at your local authority and will always be on hand to help with any queries. If your installation is on a non-residential property, a flat roof or if your property is a flat, listed building or located in a conservation area or World Heritage site, you will require listed building consent or planning consent. Please remember to tell leaseholders, freeholders, mortgage lenders and insurers about the planned work and remember to obtain the relevant consents. Ask us for advice if you have any concerns. |
