Plug-in Solar West Midlands / Thanks

Thanks, we've got it

You will get an email from us once we have checked the spot you described.

What happens next

We look up the spot you described against the permitted development rules for England as they were rewritten on 27 August 2026, and we work out what a panel there would make in a year using the PVGIS figures for a point near Birmingham.

Then we email you. The email covers whether the rules allow it, the yearly figure, whether you need an electrician for a socket, and what the notification to the network operator involves.

If the rules do not cover the spot you asked about, we will tell you that and say what else on the house might work. While you wait, the area guide covers what the housing in your part of the region usually means, and the questions page has the rest.
