I guess this is a situation that's very dependent on other factors. Will this be a DIY installation, resulting no MCS certificate and lack of export payments? If not, could the additional summer generation result in sufficient credit balance to make up for the winter shortfall? It might be quite ea...

I know you have 20 panels in that plan, but I wonder if it's worth crunching the numbers to see how many panels could be fitted in a back to back east-west configuration on the top roof section. That way you could eliminate the gap needed to prevent self-shading, still maintain a pitch sufficient f...

I wonder how the roof lanterns affect the current height of the roof. Would the limit be 200mm from the main roof structure, or 200mm above the highest point, aka the top of the lanterns? That could make a big difference. That's a valid point! My guess it that it would be the existing surface. So f...

Hi, as a placeholder till people who know come along, the general advice for roof edges was 200-300mm. This avoids wind lift on the sides, and rain run off passing over the gutter at the bottom. For the top it's also to stop the higher (raised due to the mounting) PV panels actually be higher than ...

I'm trying to get a new PV system installed, on a flat roof. I'm about to apply for planning permission, but can't find any solid info online about restrictions in terms of how far from the edge the panels must be. I assume this is a building regs thing rather than planning permission, but I'll nee...

I'll admit I didn't do PP for my garage array, taking the route of don't tell, don't make problems. Could you take an alternative approach and potentially re-roof the garage with a pitched roof, then put solar panels on top? It could liberate some useful storage space underneath. That's not a bad s...

Thanks, I've had a bit of a dig around, but can't find anything. I'll search again tonight.
