Question 1

Do I need planning permission for solar panels in Cardiff?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, solar panels in Cardiff fall under permitted development rights and do not require planning permission, provided they meet standard size and placement conditions. The Welsh Government has its own planning policies that support renewable energy installations. Most domestic solar panels fall under permitted development, though properties in national parks or conservation areas may need additional consent. Our team handles all necessary applications and compliance checks as part of every installation.

Question 2

How much can I save on energy bills in Cardiff?

Accepted Answer

A typical Cardiff household installing a 4kWp solar system can save approximately £1,100 per year on energy bills. With 3.7 hrs/day avg of average daily sunshine, the area generates around 900-950 kWh/kWp/yr kWh per kWp annually. Adding battery storage increases self-consumption and savings further, with most customers seeing payback within 6-9 years.
