Q: I want to install solar panels on the roof of my house.
What is the legal situation? A: Roof-
Despite the recent decrease in feed, installed solar panels are still popularin tariffs.
Many professional companies will install a range of panels for free and rent the airspace above the roof for a period of time (say)25 years.
If this is your intention, this arrangement will be a lease for more than seven years
It must therefore be formally produced through the deed and registered in the Land Registry.
Whether you are going into this arrangement or simply installing the panel yourself, you have to consider planning constraints.
