Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels are becoming increasingly popular as an energy efficient system for homes and businesses. However, the idea of placing PV panels on heritage buildings was considered a faux pas until recent installations to significant buildings such as York Minster, Chester Cathedral, and King’s Chapel in Cambridge. The precedence set by these heritage buildings and others, has given listed, heritage, and ecclesiastical property owners/custodians the opportunity to explore their own circumstances and discuss the installation of Solar PV with conservation officers within the local planning department.
3A Roofing Ltd has partnered with Marshall Electrical Ltd to provide a Solar PV package for prospective heritage building clients. With the heritage roofing expertise of 3A Roofing Ltd to install solar panels sympathetically to the traditional fabric of the property, you are safe in the knowledge that your roof is not being damaged by installers who do not appreciate the intricacies of roofing these important properties. Historic England technical guidance on Installing PV Arrays on Buildings states, “the irregular or handmade construction of many older roof coverings may make it more difficult to make regular fixings to the roof structure”. 3A Roofing Ltd can fix Solar PV panels to slate, tile, and lead roof coverings with our expertise in these traditional roofing crafts.
Twinned with the capability of MCR accredited, and NICEIC registered, Marshall Electrical Ltd to design and install your Solar PV system, we feel this is the best solution for heritage property owners to fulfil their energy and environmental requirements.
We look forward to receiving your valued enquiry.
