FAQs for solar panels in Exeter
Where can you install solar panels?
Solar panels can be installed on flat or pitched roofs using metal frames to secure them. For new roofs, in-roof solar replaces roof tiles and lies flush with the surface. Solar slate tiles mimic regular slate for listed buildings. Panels can also go on building facades.
For large sites without suitable roof space, ground installations work well.

Are there any local grants available for solar panels in Exeter?
We aren’t aware of any specific grants available for installing solar panels in the London area, however an investment in renewable energy may be eligible for business development grant funding.
We recommend talking to your local council and the London Chamber of Commerce for information on business development grants in your area.
Do I need Planning Permission?
If planning permission is needed, we can provide full support with applications to streamline the process. Some key limits are:
- 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.
Listed buildings, scheduled monuments and world heritage sites require permission. We advise on requirements and assist with applications for quick approval.
What finance options are available for businesses looking to invest in solar panels?
There are a number of options for businesses to access finance to fund a solar PV project. These range from Asset Finance and Power Purchase Agreements to solar panel leasing schemes.
There is more information on these finance options here.
If you’re looking to ensure your solar PV installation is always operating at its best, our expert team can help. Thanks to our Solar PV Service & Maintenance packages, we can ensure your panels remain in full working order for years and years – even if we’ve not installed them ourselves.
