If you answer 'yes' to each of these points, your home may be suitable for a solar PV system:

1. My home already has a metered electricity supply.
2. I own the freehold of my property. If you own a leasehold property, you'll need permission from the freeholder. If you rent your property, you'll need written permission from the landlord.
3. My property is not a basement or mid-floor flat. These types of property are unsuitable for solar panels.
4. My property is not a listed building, nor is it in a conservation area. You don't need planning permission for most home solar power systems, but check first with your local planning officer, especially if your building is listed, or is in a conservation area or World Heritage Site. If you're unsure, give us a call.
5. I have an unshaded roof space facing between east and west through south. Heavily shaded or north-facing roof spaces are unsuitable for solar panels. Call us if you're not sure.
