Solar Photovoltaic

Solar photovoltaic (PV) harnesses the suns energy directly to generate electricity that can be used at the property or exported to the National Grid for which you can be paid 43.5 pence per kWh.

Solar Photovoltaic

The power produced by PV contributes directly to the electrical demand for the building. This replaces electricity that would have otherwise been drawn from the National Grid. Any surplus electricity the system generates can be fed back into the National Grid for which a payment is made to the home owner under the Government's feed in tariff scheme (FITS).

Permissions - If you do not own your home you will need to obtain written permission from the owner. If your home is in a conservation area or is listed you will almost certainly require planning permission. Otherwise you are free to install solar panels without any written permissions.

Roof Orientation - unobstructed roofs facing anywhere from south east to south west are suitable. Shadows from other buildings, trees and chimney stacks will reduce the amount of energy the solar collector will generate.
Panels are typically pitched at 30 to 45 degrees from horizontal and can be integrated into the roof or on stand-alone A frames.

Space - The space required for solar panels depends on how much electricity you want to generate and the size of your budget.
