Ask your QuestionDo I need planning permission to install solar panels to my roof? I have a semi-detached house and I plan to fit four panels in total.
Asked by Abdul on 16th Aug 2020"I don't think so, however you really need to ask an MCS installer. Solar panels MUST be installed by a registered MCS installer this is NOT something a DIY person should undertake as you will eventually be connecting to the national grid. There is a lot of safety issues, signage and specialist cable for the panels must be used.
So my advice is look for an MCS or REAL installer"
