Description

The proposed development is for the installation of a roof mounted 25.5kW Solar system with 15.54kWh battery storage (located in the loft space of the building). The panels will be positioned on the slated tiled sloping roof sides of the rear of the building (over the main hall and bar area) on the SW facing side to maximise sun capture. The design of the PV panels means that they will NOT protrude more than 0.2m beyond the plane of the sloped roof and will NOT be installed less than 1m from the external edge of the roof.
