To satisfy planning requirements and ensure the support of local residents Solarsense developed a bespoke solar roof for this costal cottage.
Incorporating solar pv, solar thermal, roof lights and a bespoke flashing/cooling system, the roof provides enough energy to power and heat the cottage, as well as charging the owner’s electric vehicle.
The owner will also benefit from a steady income from the Feed-in Tariff for 20 years.
