Which areas near Ivybridge do you cover for solar pv?
We list electricians working across Ivybridge and nearby spots like Ermington and Cornwood, covering PL21. Homes here are mostly mostly 1970s onwards estates on the edge of the moor. A typical job costs £7,095 on our illustrative local prices.
Do electricians charge more to come out on the moor near Ivybridge?
A little, sometimes. Ivybridge is on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, and homes up on the moor can be a long drive with poor phone signal. Most firms add £20 to £40 for remote spots. In town, the £7,095 typical price stands.
Who signs off solar pv work in Ivybridge?
Your electrician, if they're on a scheme like NICEIC. They test the work, issue an Electrical Installation Certificate and notify South Hams District Council building control. Hiring someone who isn't registered means paying the council to inspect it, which costs far more.

Do I need planning for solar pv in Dartmoor National Park near Ivybridge?
Usually not for a normal home, but the rules are tighter in a National Park. Kit on a wall facing the road, ground-mounted panels and anything on a listed building can need consent. Check with Dartmoor National Park Authority planning before you book, not after.
Do I need planning permission for solar panels in Ivybridge?
Usually not, as roof panels are permitted development. You do need permission for listed buildings, and you may need it in conservation areas if panels face the road. Check with South Hams District Council first if your home is in either.
Can I get paid for the electricity I export?
Yes, through the Smart Export Guarantee. You'll need an MCS certificate from your installer and a smart meter. Rates vary a lot between suppliers, so shop around once the system's in.

National Grid (South West) owns the supply cable, the main fuse and the cutout in PL21. Your electrician can't touch those. If the cutout is cracked, scorched or old, they'll report it, and National Grid (South West) usually replaces it free.
Who do I call in a power cut in Ivybridge?
National Grid (South West) runs the network here. If the whole street is dark, call 105, it's free and they'll give you a time. If it's only your house, check your trip switches first, then call an electrician.
