Have received planning permission for a large extension to my house, have been thinking about the heating and would like to investigate the possibility of solar panels for heating teh water. I have a few questions on this,
1. Do you have to planning permission to install solar panels on roof,
2. Does it matter from a planning point of view whether panels are at front, back side (aka Sat dishes)
3. For a 1900 sqft home with 3baths what sive in m2 would be sufficeint to generate hot water
4. What size water tank would be required
5. Any ideas of the cost of such a system - panels, wiring, piping etc
6. What is the best location for them - South Facing, SW Facing ?
7. Experiences of the systems, what savings are to be had, what payback period and would it add value/appeal to buyers if were to sell on at a later date
Any other think to be considered.
Thanks in advance,
