Q. Do I need planning permission?
- Photovoltaic systems do not need planning permission unless the property is listed or in a conservation area. However you should speak to building control about your intentions, and they will advise you if you need to take any further action with them. As installers we will be happy to speak to your Local Authority Building Control Officer.

- The Feed in Tariff pays up to 41.3p/kWh for all the electricity generated even if used in your own property.
Q. What is the lead time?
- Approx 1-2 months for an installation, however we can arrange a site survey to be carried out within 2 weeks.
