Grants and Financial Incentives
Exeter businesses can access financial support to accelerate their transition to renewable energy.

Furthermore, the UK government’s Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) and Full Expensing schemes allow companies to deduct 100% of the cost of commercial solar panels in Exeter from their taxable profits in the first year. When combined with ongoing revenue from the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), these incentives transform commercial solar in Exeter into a high-yield financial asset.

FAQs for solar panels in Exeter
Where Can You Install Solar Panels?
Do I need Planning Permission?
- A roof mounted solar installation must not protrude more than 200mm, unless it is a flat roof installation where the solar PV must be less than 1m above the highest part of the flat roof.
- A roof mounted solar installation must be further than 1m away from the edge of the roof or wall joint. For AONB or similarly restricted locations, the panels must not be on the roof slope or wall facing the road.
- Solar installations should be sited so as to minimise their effect on the external appearance of the property and the amenity of the area, while unused equipment should be removed as soon as possible.
