Do You Need Permission?

In many cases, solar falls under permitted development, but:

• Listed buildings require approval

• Flats may need consent

• Wall-mounted systems may vary

Grid Connection Rules

If connecting to the grid:

• G98 or G99 application may be required

• Depends on system size

Electrical Safety

• Must comply with UK wiring regulations (BS 7671)

• Proper isolation and protection required

MCS & Certification

DIY systems don’t need MCS, but:

• You may not qualify for export payments

• Professional sign-off may be beneficial

Insurance Considerations

• Inform your insurer

• Ensure safe installation

Key Takeaway

DIY solar is possible in the UK - but it must be done safely and correctly.
