Who signs off solar pv work in Brixham?
Your electrician, if they're on a scheme like NICEIC. They test the work, issue an Electrical Installation Certificate and notify Torbay Council building control. Hiring someone who isn't registered means paying the council to inspect it, which costs far more.

If the work changes the building's character, yes, you need listed building consent from Torbay Council. New cable routes through old plaster, visible kit on the front and roof panels are the usual triggers. Like-for-like repairs usually don't. Ask the conservation officer first; it's free.
