Question 1

Do I need planning permission for solar panels in London?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, solar panels in London fall under permitted development rights and do not require planning permission, provided they meet standard size and placement conditions. Most London boroughs permit solar panels under permitted development rights. Conservation areas and listed buildings may require additional planning consent -- our team handles the entire application process. Our team handles all necessary applications and compliance checks as part of every installation.

How much can I save on energy bills in London?

Accepted Answer

A typical London household installing a 4kWp solar system can save approximately £1,100 per year on energy bills. With 3.8 hrs/day avg of average daily sunshine, the area generates around 950-1050 kWh/kWp/yr kWh per kWp annually.
