AI Customer ServiceUnderstanding permitted development for non-domestic solar installations allows businesses to navigate regulations and optimise the installation process, ensuring compliance and maximising the benefits of solar energy investments.
Solar panels must not be installed above the highest part of the roof, excluding the chimney. Panels should protrude no more than 200 mm from the roof or wall surface on pitched roofs. These conditions will also be satisfied if panels are mounted parallel to the roof on a sloping roof. On a flat roof, they shouldn’t protrude more than 600 mm.
Some solar batteries can be installed outdoors, but several important considerations must be considered. The feasibility of outdoor installation depends on factors like battery type, climate, and, in some cases, local regulations. The type of solar battery you have or plan to use plays a significant role.
For all installations, the panels should be sited to minimise their effect on the appearance of the building and the amenity of the area.

Myth #4: I don’t own my house, so I can’t go solar. If you rent your house or live in an apartment building, community solar programs enable you to take advantage of solar energy. Community solar programs allow multiple people to benefit from a single, shared solar array.
This means that if your solar energy system doesn’t supply enough electricity, the grid will supply the rest. Myth #2: Solar panels aren’t efficient enough. Some customers hear that solar panels have an efficiency rate of 22% and wonder why it’s not 100%. Some sunlight will be reflected off the panel or be turned into heat instead of electricity.
