Solar panels questions
Do I need planning permission for solar panels?
Usually not. Most rooftop panels on houses count as permitted development. Listed buildings, and some homes in conservation areas, need permission first. Your installer will check.
Do solar panels work in winter?
Yes. They work on daylight, not heat, so they still generate on cold, bright days. They make less in winter because the days are shorter, and most of your yearly power comes from spring to autumn.
What does MCS certified mean?
MCS is the scheme that certifies small-scale renewable installers in the UK. An MCS-certified install is what most energy suppliers ask for before they'll pay you for the power you export.
