Planning Permission
Most domestic solar installations in Manchester fall under permitted development and don't need planning permission. Exceptions include listed buildings, conservation areas, and installations that protrude significantly. We check this during your free survey.
MCS Certification
MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) certification is essential for accessing the SEG and any grants. It guarantees your installation meets quality standards. Greentech Renewables is fully MCS certified for all our Manchester installations.
Building Regulations
Solar installations must comply with building regulations for structural loading and electrical safety. Part P electrical regulations require a qualified electrician. Our installations are fully compliant and self-certified by our qualified team.
DNO Notification
Your Distribution Network Operator (Electricity North West in Manchester) must be notified of solar installations. We handle this process automatically as part of our installation service — no action needed from you.
