Helping Residents and Busineses go green in North Norfolk

At North Norfolk District Council we know that buying solar panels and/or storage batteries can have benefits for your pocket and for the planet. It is also a key driver to help us hit our goal to become a Net Zero district by 2045.

To empower homeowners in the area to buy solar panels we have partnered with MakeMyHouseGreen who share our commitment to helping homeowners go green in a sustainable way.

We understand that it can be difficult to find the right system and get it installed, and many people want reliable, easy-to-understand advice before they make the jump.

This scheme enables you to get the information you need, followed by a more cost-effective and trustworthy installation.

We have negotiated a £500 discount for North Norfolk residents. Enter your details above to get started.

Why has North Norfolk council partnered with MakeMyHouseGreen?

North Norfolk District Council is aiming to become a Net Zero district by 2045 and wants to support residents considering energy efficiency modifications to their home with the right support. We have a strong track record for reliable installations and partnerships with other councils, and well-known organisations like Nationwide and Santander. We take you through the whole journey; from calculating the cost and impact to installation and certification.

We have a free-to-use platform that can support you to to find out how many solar panels fit on your home, get an estimated installation price, and track the process from initial estimate to completed installation.

We work closely with the council's planning department for those in Conversation Areas. In most cases, we can design solar systems without the need for a full planning application.

The council has negotiated on behalf of the whole district, and as a result, residents will benefit from a £500 discount on your install.

Together, we can reach our goal of becoming a Net Zero District by 2045.

FAQs

Do I need planning permission for solar panels in North Norfolk?

For most homeowners in North Norfolk, adding solar panels typically doesn't require formal planning permission. The majority of installations fall under "Permitted Development," which is designed to make it easier for you to reduce your carbon footprint and lower your energy bills without a long administrative process.

Because we want you to feel completely confident, we take extra care if your home is a listed building or located within one of North Norfolk's many beautiful Conservation Areas. In these special cases, we focus on thoughtful, bespoke designs that respect the local heritage while still helping you achieve energy independence. While we can’t provide a 100% guarantee on the final planning outcome, we handle the technical details and provide the professional models you need for a smooth and reassuring experience.

Can I have a solar installation on a complex roof or outbuilding?

We specialise in bespoke solar installations that cater to the unique architecture of North Norfolk, including multi-face roofs and outbuildings. Our technology allows us to design a custom system that can be split across different roof faces or extended to structures like stables and barns to maximise your energy generation. We design custom systems tailored to your home and its specific layout rather than using a "one-size-fits-all" approach.

How do I find out if solar is right for my home?

The best way to determine if solar is a good fit is to chat with our solar experts for a free assessment. We look at several factors specific to your property, including:

  • Roof Orientation: South-facing is ideal, but east- and west-facing roofs also perform well.
  • Daylight Exposure: We assess potential shading from nearby trees or chimneys that could impact your output.
  • Energy Goals: We review your annual energy usage to determine the optimal system size for your needs.
What does the process look like, and is there a cost?

The journey begins with a free no-obligation expert consultation.

  • Step 1: Consultation: We use our solar calculator to provide a clear picture of what you could save with solar.
  • Step 2: Custom Design: One of our Green Gurus works with you to create a bespoke plan with no pressure to buy.
  • Step 3: Installation: Once you are happy with the plan, our MCS-accredited installers will fit your system, usually in under six weeks.
  • Step 4: Peace of Mind: All our panels come with a 25-year performance warranty to ensure long-term energy independence.
