flanagaj Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 As we are looking for a very shallow roof pitch to enable us to hopefully go two storey and be under 6.4 metres ridge height, we will most likely be under the pitch for solar panels. I'm actually not fussed about solar, but worried LPA may make it a condition of the planning grant. If so, is our only option to install the panels in the garden?

Good for summer generation, rubbish for winter. Can you angle on top of roof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PVGIS is your friend here as you can demonstrate to them how much generation you will sacrifice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Ambrose Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Actually it’s not such a big deal to put panels flat on a flat roof - a techy neighbour has that set-up. Again pvgis will tell you exactly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
