Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission for solar panels in the UK?
Many rooftop installs are permitted development, but flats, listed buildings and some conservation areas can differ. Share your property type so a local installer can advise on permissions.
Should I choose an MCS-certified installer?
MCS certification is commonly expected for quality assurance and for certain incentives or tariffs. Ask installers about MCS and warranties when you connect through HelpNHelp.
