Property and permission I own the property or have written permission from the relevant landlord, freeholder or managing party. I have checked lease, tenancy, planning and building restrictions that may apply.

Position and mounting The proposed position receives useful sunlight and will not create a falling-object or access hazard. I can use a mounting system suitable for the location and expected weather loads.

Product and electrics I will verify the exact complete kit against current Great Britain requirements. I will follow the approved connection method and seek competent advice about my electrical installation when needed.

Likely value My household has daytime electricity use that may absorb a useful share of generation.
