In the realm of renewable energy, solar power stands as the quintessential innovation of the 21st century. Much like how air conditioning became a household staple in the early 2000s, solar panels have now found their place on rooftops across the nation. This surge in popularity has given rise to a new challenge: the complexities surrounding approval for solar installations within body corporate schemes. While bodies corporate once held the authority to deny residents the right to install solar panels, the Queensland Government has taken significant steps to redefine this privilege as an unequivocal right. In both 2010 and, more recently, in 2022, the government established solar panels as an entitlement for property owners, including those within body corporate schemes. This progressive move ensured owners could not have their request unreasonably denied by committees and/or developers due to the aesthetic concerns of the installation. The key consideration for bodies corporate has now shifted towards tracking the installations themselves - knowing who has undertaken what and ensuring they have been professionally installed by licensed contractors using compliant products. The objective is to not only minimise potential issues with the integrity of the roof, but to safeguard the collective interests of the community by ensuring that fixtures and fittings like this are incorporated into the body corporate’s policy of insurance. So, while a body corporate cannot outright veto the installation of solar panels, it does have the authority to establish by-laws governing various aspects of their upkeep and maintenance. These include provisions of who is responsible for the maintenance of the system, as well as the roof underneath, and who is responsible for costs if the body corporate needs to temporarily remove solar panels to conduct roof repairs. #solar #solarpanels #bodycorporate https://loom.ly/V8aAPuA

Why use MCS Certified Installers❔🤷 Selecting an MCS installer is crucial if you want to take advantage of the Smart Export Guarantee. This scheme enables you to sell excess energy back to the National Grid, but can only be utilised if your system has been fitted by a professional with MCS certification.🔋 You can also benefit from complete peace of mind with MCS accredited work. In the event that a fault occurs with your system or your installer ceases trading, you are protected by the Trading Standards Institute Consumer Code. All MCS installers must be registered with this, and are required to go above and beyond their minimum legal obligations should something go wrong. You can ask your installer to explain what you need to do should things go awry.💚 At South East Solar and Electrical, our MCS certified solar panel installers in Kent carry out installations on both private and commercial properties. We are also fully accredited by NAPIT and NICEIC, and have over 15 years’ experience with solar PV systems and solar battery installation. We’ll also support you with regular solar panel maintenance to keep your system running smoothly and efficiently.☀️🏠 For more information, read our blog https://lnkd.in/eUNpMwMb #solarpower #cleanenergy #sustainableliving #renewableenergy #gosolar #solarpanels #solarpanelsystem #solarpanelinstallation #sustainable #environmentallyfriendly #solarpvinstallation #solarpv #kentsolar #solarkent #kent #southeastsolar #southeast #globalwarming #gogreen #greenerworld #greenworld #eddi #ecosmart #energydiverter #moneysaving #energy #mcscertified #napit #niceic

Interesting move as Kingspan Group and LONGi Solar announce a strategic solar partnership that 'will redefine what it means to build sustainably'. The companies say this collaboration aims to integrate the advanced solar technology of LONGi with the innovative building materials of Kingspan, paving the way for more sustainable construction and energy solutions. As such, the partnership will bring together their market leading technologies to develop and promote both Integrated (BIPV) and Applied (BAPV) 3rd party insurance tested solar PV systems, which they say may also lead to joint manufacturing and marketing at some point in the future. Gene Murtagh, CEO of Kingspan, commented: "Kingspan is excited to partner with LONGi. Their innovative solar technology, combined with our building solutions, will redefine what it means to build sustainably." The announcement comes following Energy Secretary Ed Miliband's recent statement that he intends to “unleash a UK solar rooftop revolution," with plans to "encourage builders and homeowners in whatever way we can to deliver this win-win technology to millions of addresses in the UK so people can provide their own electricity, cut their bills and at the same time help fight climate change." 👀 Find out more: https://lnkd.in/dEfSG-8U #roofing #solar #solarpower #energyefficiency #builtenvironment #facades #installers #sustainability #constructionmaterials

Did you know that solar panels also need protection with these components? 🌞 Regular maintenance of solar panels is crucial to keep them performing at their best and to avoid potential damage from environmental factors. Adding protective components is an important next step to ensure they last longer and continue to efficiently convert sunlight into energy. By maintaining your solar panels regularly and using the right protective elements, you can make sure your solar investment remains both profitable and sustainable for years to come. #SUNEnergy #ShapingFutureEnergy #SolarEnergy #SolarPanel #Protection #Maintenance

Solar power isn’t just a nice to have, it’s a must have ✅ As we continue to to develop our understanding of climate change, businesses across the world are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint - and need to contribute to a greener future. One of the most effective ways to do this is solar power - and it’s not just because of the very clear environmental benefits. Solar power is one of the most effective solutions in supporting businesses to reduce their carbon footprint - but it can also increase business value, offset energy costs and works toward the Governments pledge of net carbon emissions by 2050. Businesses with high power consumption, may still have to purchase energy from the Grid after having solar panels fitted but for a lot of businesses we’ve dealt with, solar power has significantly offset large amounts of energy costs. The UK government is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 - meaning renewable energy is not just an option; it is inevitable. By installing solar power now, you’re future-proofing your business, making sure it continues to be competitive and desirable in a rapidly evolving market.
