FAQs
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.
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.
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.
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.
