4. Reflective Questions

If you’re considering micro-generation solutions such as plug and play solar panels you may want to consider:

  • Is it legal to use plug and play solar panels? If so, are there any other regulations or rules (e.g. local building regulations) that could impact on their use and/or you need to be aware of?
  • Where would you site your plug and play solar panels? If you are siting them on a balcony, for example, are there neighbour or aesthetic considerations?
  • What administrative processes/procedures do you need to follow?
  • How does the use of plug and play solar panels fit with wider community energy aims? Where could you go for more information and/or support?
