If you want solar panels installed on a leasehold premises, contact the freeholder (the person or entity you pay your ground rent and service charge to). They may deny your application due to concerns over the roof's structural integrity. Small commercial premises will not require planning permission for solar panel installation.
To clarify, what is certain is that nearly all domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations (see below) and a solar PV installation is nearly always notifiable electrical work.
Solar PV that has been installed incorrectly may also bring many logistical and legal issues. If you are looking to have Solar Panels installed, use Findley Roofing & Building. We have recently launched our own renewables division for installing solar panels in the north east.
The confusion comes in as a solar PV installation is often much more than electrical work, for example some installations involve major roofing work and other structural changes especially when integrating photovoltaics into a building's fabric. This work goes beyond Part P and electrical installations, we are now talking about building work.
While an individual can own the solar PV panels installed at their property, there are instances where the owner of an installation may be different from the owner of the property or site at which the installation is located.
