Solar Panel Installation in Brecon

Local Solar Panel Installers You Can Trust

Brecon sits inside the national park, and that shapes both the technical job and the planning one. It is the western edge of our patch and we cover it properly, but it is worth being straight that it is a longer run for us than Hereford is.

Inside a national park the permitted development allowances for solar are tighter than the general position, and on top of that planning here runs to Welsh rules rather than English ones. Neither of those is a reason not to fit solar. They are reasons to establish where you stand before anybody designs anything, because a system that cannot get consent is not a cheap mistake.

Technically, the uplands ask more of an installation than a sheltered valley property does. More wind, more weather and more altitude all feed into the mounting specification, the fixings and how much edge clearance a layout leaves. The building stock is largely older and stone built with slate coverings, which needs a different method to modern concrete tile. And like most of the hill country, a lot of these properties are off the gas grid, so the electricity bill is carrying the heating and self consumption is worth more than it would be in town.

Solar Work We Do in Brecon

• Exposed site installations. Fixings and rail layout specified for upland wind loading rather than lifted off a town centre job.
• Older and stone built properties. Slate roofs and traditional construction handled without damaging the covering.
• Off gas grid properties. Designed around electric heating demand and winter use, not just summer generation.
• Farms and smallholdings. Barn and shed roofs, where roof area is rarely the limiting factor.
• Battery storage, servicing and fault finding. New systems, retrofits and health checks on any installer's work.
