[QUOTE="rabnudj, post: 538843, member: 36019"] Hi, I'm having a new roof on my house and am forced to organise fitting the panels myself because the solar firms are hopelessly backloged. So I've been doing lots of research, but there is one element that I can't get my head around. My house is a semi detached with a hipped roof facing south effectively a triangular surface for panels. It's 9m along the bottom edge, so not super large area, so I really want to squeeze on as many panels as possible. Various websites quotes there rules #Not be installed above the highest point of the property (not including chimneys) #Be fitted in a way that least affects the external appearance of the property and the surrounding area #Not protrude more than 200mm from the surface of your roof I would like to mount panels sitting level with lowest tiles and the top of array touching the hip (and mounted close the a roof window) ie, really maximize roof space. My interpretation of these regulations suggests I can do this. Any comments would be very welcome. James [/QUOTE]
