\"DSCN1669\"<\/a>One question that no one has ever asked me is about solar panel removal.\u00a0 To be honest its not a question I’ve asked myself very much.\u00a0 But the issue has been raised for me by a house I cycle past on my way to work.\u00a0 And another around the corner on a neighbouring road.\u00a0 Both have had are having major work done on their roofs.\u00a0 Both had solar PV systems and in both cases the panels have been removed to fit dormers.\u00a0 In the first case they have not been put back in the second case the work is ungoing, but it does not look they will be (although they might be on the proposed plans on a rear extension although they they are not itemised).\u00a0 One of the advantages of the internet and our democratic planning system is that I can poke around the plans online.\u00a0 In the first case that I pass where the panels were on the front I could see they have been removed.\u00a0 In the second I can just see them from my rear window in winter but had noticed them from a visit to my kids school for a parents evening.\u00a0 I spoke to the owner about our joint experiences of putting them up.\u00a0 Both houses have changed ownership.<\/p>\n

Solar panel removal is such a strange thing to do.\u00a0 The first system wasn’t that big but my near neighbours was.\u00a0 Under the FIT you can only fit new equipment.\u00a0 This has meant no second hand market and very little reason to steal systems.\u00a0 What do you do with the kit?\u00a0 Did the owners take them with them?\u00a0 Is that possible under the FIT?\u00a0 It also raises questions over the planning system.\u00a0 It seem strange planning takes no account of the existence of the systems with a resource and climate emergency and you can strip systems off and least not them back somewhere else on your property.<\/p>\n
