Hello


For obvious reasons I’m suddenly curious about solar panels to produce my own electricity.


I live in a conservation area and the south facing roof area faces the conservation area / road, which I think probably means it is not permitted to install panels, unless given permission by Southwark. Has anyone done this?


And, if as an alternative, I installed panels on the west and east facing roofs at the back which don’t need planning permission, will this generate much electricity, or is it not worth the bother/expense?


Thanks

With East or West facing panels you get about 75% of south facing - so it’s still worth it. North facing only about 50% so ROI is harder to achieve. With kWh of electric now 50p and likely to increase even further, panels at the back of your property do make good financial sense.

    • Agree that you have to be so careful dogs in this heat… but please dont judge so quickly.  Its one thing if you see a dog at midday being thrown the ball endlessly, but if you see a dog en route / somewhere - You dont know if that dog was being walked to the vet for an emergency appointment.. or taken to a friend’s house that is cooler etc.  And if they live in a flat, they might desperately need to be taken out for a quick pee / poo ! 
    • I know,  absolutely crazy.  A dog has never died because it didn't have a walk, but dogs do die if walked in this heat. Perhaps the owners should put on a thick fur coat, take their shoes off and jog round the pavements, and see how that feels! 🤬
    • I bought myself a litter picker from Amazon and do go round and pick up . No one else does. I guess they just don't have the time what with job obligations and kids etc. Question. ...should we pay more council tax in return for a better service? This debate could go on forever.
    • Walking around ED at lunchtime shocked at the amount of owners walking their dogs. Do they not realise  they are risking their dogs life by doing this?
