Solar PV panels often do not require any planning permission. However, exceptions can apply and we would recommended to check with your local planning office for guidance on this. A Solar PV system must be registered with the Distribution Network Operator (DNO). This is usually taken care of by the installer.

The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) has been in place since 1st January 2020 replacing the Feed-in Tariff (FiT) scheme which ended in March 2019. It ensures that small-scale generators are paid for any renewable electricity they export to the grid.

If you have energy storage fitted in your Solar PV installation, additional rules may apply to what you can and cannot claim back through SEG.
