Photovoltaic bracket arrival registration form

What if I don't register my solar panels?

If you’re a shared owner or a homeowner and you haven't registered your solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, and they were installed after 14 January 2016, you can apply to your electricity supplier to get the ‘Feed-in tariff’ (FiT) payments. This is in effect a grant from the Government according to how much electricity your panels are generating.

What are the different types of PV brackets?

At present, there are 3 types of brackets used in most PV power plants: fixed conventional bracket, adjustable tracking bracket and flexible PV bracket. This refers to the mounting system where the orientation, angle, etc. remain unchanged after installation.

How many solar installations are allowed?

only one standalone solar installation is permitted. Regulations introduced in April 2015 deem most non-domestic solar installations below 1 MW as permitted development, provided: a ground mounted array is no more than 9m2, no more than 3m in any one direction and no higher than 4m.

How to choose a solar installation site?

The orientation of the proposed installation site is a crucial part because solar systems are most efficient when they are fitted to a roof that faces south at an angle of 32 degrees. You will also need around 10 to 25 square meters of roof space available. The shape of the roof is not important.

What is the installation angle of PV modules?

The installation angle of PV modules in flexible mounts is generally small, usually 10°-15°. Flexible bracket is mainly applicable to scenarios such as mountainous projects with large slope (e.g. above 35°), fishery-photovoltaic and agricultural-photovoltaic projects with high headroom requirements.

Why should you choose a PV bracket?

The choice of bracket directly affects the operational safety, breakage rate and construction investment of PV modules. Choosing the right PV bracket will not only reduce the project cost, but also reduce the post maintenance cost.
