Does Teignmouth's conservation area affect solar pv?
Mostly for things you can see from the street. Inside the house, normal electrical work is fine. Chargers, panels, satellite kit or lights on a front wall may need planning in Teignmouth's conservation area. Teignbridge District Council has the map online.

Do solar panels and batteries cope with salt air in Teignmouth?
Panels are fine, but the fixings, isolators and inverters near the sea need care. Ask for marine-grade or stainless clamps and keep the inverter and battery indoors if you can. Close to the front in Teignmouth, get the system checked every couple of years.
Does Teignbridge District Council need to know about my solar pv?
Usually, yes. This is notifiable work under Part P, so it has to be registered with building control. A registered electrician does it for you at no extra cost, and you get the certificate within 30 days. Without it, you can hit problems when you sell your Teignmouth home.

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 Teignbridge District Council first if your home is in either.
Does National Grid (South West) need to be involved in Teignmouth?
Sometimes. Larger loads like chargers, batteries and solar have to be notified, and if the supply's too small they book National Grid (South West) for Teignmouth. Allow a few weeks if an upgrade is needed.
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.
Who do I call in a power cut in Teignmouth?
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.
