Planning Permission
Planning permission is not usually required for the installation of a solar panel system on the roof of a property or as a small (approximately 6 panels in total) stand-alone installation. Please refer to the East Cambridgeshire District Council ‘Planning for Renewable Energy’ document for more information.(ECDC Planning permission for Solar)
UK Power Networks
UK Power Networks provides the information for power in all the homes and businesses in our area (please see print out of map). Currently UK Power Networks have limited single phase installations to G83 or 3.67kW per phase. This is due to grid capacity at Burwell Main Grid, and there is no date forecast for when this will change. Because of the amount of solar farms local to us, a limit of a 4kW solar installation has been set. 4kW is certainly adequate to produce 70-80% of a family home needs. If you wish to generate in excess of this please ask a member of our team for information on G59 3 phase installations.
