Connecting new build solar to the grid
We submit this on your behalf. A Distribution Network Operator (DNO) is crucial in distributing electricity from the national grid to residential and commercial properties. Before you install solar panels, especially those with substantial capacity, you must obtain approval from your local DNO. This step ensures that the existing grid infrastructure can accommodate the extra power generated by your solar panels.
Obviously, this is very important when developing a new build site.

New builds are perfect for utilising air source heat pumps, as you can specify the correct radiators, underfloor heating and insulation.
In the simplest terms, they behave like a reverse fridge. They take cold air from the outside and, through a series of clever processes, create hot air that can heat the water in your central heating.
We can help you find the right one for your properties.

Integrated solar PV panels for new builds
The big advantage of fitting a solar energy system while building a house is the ease of in-roof systems. These neat, tidy systems fit flush to the roof and they hold the sleek, black on black panels. Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) not only comply with energy performance standards, but they are also very attractive to any potential buyer.

Frequently Asked Questions
While there are no specific regulations about fitting solar panels to new build homes, developers do have to comply with SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) regulations. SAP is the official way of assessing a new build's energy rating -- which is then outlined in an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate). An EPC rating can be enhanced by good insulation, heat pumps and, of course, solar panels.
The Future Homes Standard is a government-led project to create homes that are net zero, cheap to heat, surrounded by nature, and climate resilient. Learn more here.
Yes. Grid providers will need to know how many properties in your development will be exporting electricity to the grid. Grid providers are happy to take any excess, renewable energy that solar panels produce but, for safety reasons, they need to ensure the load isn't too high and that there is no electricity on the grid when it has been shut down. In terms of sourcing the DNOs, they are included in the UK Energi offer to developers.
While you would need to check any specifics with the local authority, in-roof solar panels are usually exempt from any planning building regulations or planning. You would only need to apply for planning if the development was in an area of outstanding natural beauty, a conservation area or any other restricted area.
In a word, yes it will. Well, it will if you use an in-roof system. In-roof systems reduce the need for tiles and other roofing materials. The systems that are available are great value for money, safe and easy to install. UK Energi will source and provide the very latest, and best, systems available in the UK.
The Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) is a sustainability rating system used in over 80 countries to evaluate buildings' environmental performance. You will be awarded points that demonstrate how well you have fulfilled the BREEAM criteria. Fitting solar energy systems, or any carbon-neutral technology, will help with your BREEAM score.
