An interesting conversation if you are considering doing so too! It could also be a useful explanation and a guide to what is involved.The DC generating cell panels are fixed onto roof rails fixed under the tiles by clips screwed to the woodwork that supports them.

Other countries are providing subsidies encouraging the use of solar power.
