Ask about solar on your Congleton home

This is an independent guide to Congleton homes, not an installer. Describe the home and your question; SEO-DONS LTD reads it and replies by email.

• A question costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
• We pass your details to nobody, and nobody will call or visit.
• Before agreeing anything with a firm, read choosing an installer.

Examples of questions you could send

• “Our terrace is just off West Street. Do we need permission for panels on the back roof?”
• “We have a flat in a converted mill. Who would we need to ask?”
• “A quote says 4,000 kWh a year from 4 kWp. Is that realistic for Congleton?”
• “Would an east and west split work on our detached house?”

How an answer is put together

1. Check whether the address is in a conservation area and whether the building is listed.
2. Sort the panel position into its planning route under the national rules.
3. Give the PVGIS figure for the roof you describe, using Congleton’s own sunlight data.
4. Note which Cheshire East scheme could apply and what the scheme would need to confirm.
5. Say whether the system would follow the G98 or G99 route with the network operator.

After it is sent

The message reaches SEO-DONS LTD by email, with the page it came from. Someone reads it and writes back from the same address. If a decision belongs to the council, a building owner or a surveyor, the reply says so and suggests what to ask. You are not added to any list, and you can ask us to delete your message, as the privacy notice explains.

What we cannot do

Visit, inspect a roof, predict a planning or consent decision, confirm grant eligibility or recommend a firm. The roof and route check covers part of it now. Message handling is in the privacy notice and terms; complaints go through the contact page.
