Solar for Park Homes UK

Can you put solar panels on a park home?

Solar panels for park homes: KEY CONSIDERATIONS: (1) ROOF STRUCTURE — park home roofs are lighter than brick houses. Lightweight panels (under 12kg each) or flexible panels may be needed. A structural check is essential. (2) SITE PERMISSION — check your site licence/park rules. Some parks restrict external modifications. Get written permission before proceeding. (3) PLANNING — park homes may or may not have permitted development rights. Check with your local planning authority. (4) GROUND-MOUNTED OPTION — if roof isn't suitable, ground-mounted panels in your plot avoid roof concerns. (5) SYSTEM SIZE — typically 2-3kW (5-8 panels). Cost: £3,000-£5,500. Savings: £400-£700/yr. Payback: 5-10 years. Park home residents often have high electricity bills (all-electric heating) making solar especially valuable.
