Case Study
With so many home owners now turning to electric vehicles and the price of electricity being on the rise, it’s no wonder we have been inundated with requests for solar PV in the last few months. Our latest installation of solar PV and battery storage in Skipton, North Yorkshire has drawn a lot of interest.
The property, Carters House, is situated in the centre on Cononley just outside Skipton. With the railway station very close by it has gained a lot of interest from the locals within the area.
Cononley itself is situated within a conservation area. Although Carters House itself is located just outside its curtilage it was extremely important to ensure that any solar PV panels installed didn’t look an eye sore and was sympathetic to the surrounding area. All black panels have been installed so they blend in the best they can with the roof and are less noticeable.
The installation at Carters House, Cononley has been carried out by Green and Heritage Roofing staff alongside their renewable partners, Team Renewables and comprises:
The property was already equipped with an electric vehicle charging point so the homeowner will benefit from generating thier own electricity and being able to use this to charge their vehicle.
Even though many areas of Skipton fall within or just on the edge of a conservation area it is still possible to install solar PV and battery storage in the Skipton area. It is important that any system is sympathetic to the area and Green and Heritage Roofing work with Team Renewables to find solutions to ensure a sympathetic look.
The installation at Carters House in Cononley is an on-roof system. If you’d like to compare the look of this with an in-roof system then please check out our case study of our solar PV installation in the conservation area of Oxenhope, Near Howarth.
