You may need to obtain consent or adhere to specific design guidelines. Your solar panel system must comply with building regulations in terms of structural integrity, electrical safety and fire safety. These regulations may vary depending on the size and type of the installation.
Your solar panel installer will mainly focus on the building regulations that apply to structural safety, electrical safety, and ventilation. However, tradespeople have to comply with all building regulations while carrying out any job.
A year later, the Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Act 2006 brought microgeneration systems like solar panels under the umbrella of the Building Regulations. You should receive a building regulations certificate, known as a completion certificate, for your solar panel system.
Rooftop solar installations always need building regulations approval, but rarely require planning permission. This is because they generally fall under permitted development rights, which allow homeowners to make reasonably sized changes without getting permission.
You will also need around 10 to 25 square meters of roof space available. The shape of the roof is not important. If there is any shade over the solar panels, this can have a large effect on the overall efficiency of the system.
