Latest news. We have had £75 export payback,plus no electricity bills (just DSC) for 4months,am now over £300 In credit with fuel, inspite of taking 2 lump sums from account.
Hosta, we're with octopus.yes,it's not as much as it used to be, but it's on top of the electricity we have self used. Before the solar,last year our monthly bill went from £100, to £130. That was duel fuel, with economy 7. We haven't had to use our gas for hot water for 6 months.
I've never had trouble getting planning approval for solar panels on houses in conservation areas around here. They have to be the low profile dark panels rather than the old blue with silver trim style but that's fairly normal now. The word on the street is that equipment is on back order and installers are booked up for at least a year though. If you could get the array running by 2024 you'd be doing well.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Wild edges are you in planning then? I've never seen blue panels I expect the rules and regulations are different in Wales.. There are folk round here who've had them 20 years, some self owned some not, different types of tariff,no batteries. Their panels are black with silver lines.. Don't know about renewables, the ruddy great wind farm near us didn't move yesterday and they ain't moving today either. It's grey and damp,so the only cooking here,will be microwave.luckily I have done all the washing/baking a couple of cakes,there is quite a chunk left if anyone's interested, chocolate.

Interesting to know. It seems to depend on the council in question, and probably the temperament of the rubber stamper themselves. It's all about "who you get". On my patch a small shed can be nixxed or a new wing can be happily added depended on what side of bed your bloke got out of. (All the tick boxers by us seem to be men).

Usually, the bottleneck is the Heritage Officer. Some of them take a very pragmatic view about what constitutes a threat to the distinctiveness of a given conservation area, and some are right little Jobsworths. There's more of the latter type, so don't feel singled out @Fire. Most people's experience would be nearer yours than WE's
