Technical FAQs 4

Do building regulations apply to solar panels?

Where the property is in a conservation area, is a listed building or part of a World Heritage site for example, Permitted Developments will not apply and an application will have to be made to the Local Planning Authority. Building Regulations will always apply as solar panels significantly increase the weight of a roof.

What are solar interconnection standards & policies?

Solar Interconnection Standards & Policies - Systems that connect to the electric grid are often affected by state and local interconnection standards. Understanding Electricity Market Frameworks & Policies - Understand market structures and how they may impact your project development.

What is a solar Rec?

Solar RECs (SRECs) are created for each megawatt-hour of electricity generated from solar energy systems. The ultimate owner of the SREC owns the "solar-ness" of the power.

Who owns solar power?

The ultimate owner of the SREC owns the "solar-ness" of the power. Many states create SREC markets to spur the development of solar by requiring electricity suppliers to purchase SRECs produced by in-state solar systems as part of their obligation under the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS).
