Solar Panel Installation in Fowey

Fowey's south-facing aspects on the hillside above the harbour provide excellent solar resource, but the town's extensive conservation area means solar panel installations on the street-facing elevations of listed buildings are subject to strict planning control. Properties on the higher ground above the town — and particularly those on south-facing hillside slopes — can often achieve roof installations that are not visible from the street or from the harbour, making a planning application achievable. The outlying areas of Whitecross and Tower Park are outside the most sensitive zones and have fewer constraints. For holiday homes and second properties in Fowey, solar panels with battery storage offer the appealing combination of energy independence and reduced running costs. CCS Heating & Renewables can advise on the planning position for your specific Fowey property and carry out full roof surveys before committing to any application. A 4kW system in the Fowey area generates approximately 3,500–3,800 kWh per year. We install solar panels with 0% VAT and can pair systems with Foxstar battery storage for maximum self-sufficiency.
