The volatile nature of the energy market has put many businesses on edge in recent years and for many, there seems little they can do about it.  But having solar panels installed on the roof of your businesses building will allow you to control your energy expenses and even help your business to turn it into a revenue stream.

Beyond the existing building regulations, there are other things to consider including:

• The new solar panel system should be installed so that it minimises its external appearance on the building.
• The solar panel installation can not be higher than the building itself (this excludes any chimneys). The solar panel system cannot protrude more than 0.2 metres from the plane of the roof slope.
• Planning permission may be required when you are intending of installing solar panels on a flat roof. This is because, due to the nature of the install, flat roofing solar panels need to be angled and therefore protrude beyond the 0.2 metres normally allowed.
• Listed buildings commonly used for office use require consent and planning permission for solar panels to be fitted.

If your property is in a conservation zone, it may be difficult to gain permission for a solar panel installation though not impossible. We have installed solar panels for listed buildings and those in conservation areas in the past. Planning can be a complicated route but our solar panel installers can advise you on how best to proceed with permission applications.
