FAQs

Since our building is listed, do we need secular Planning Permission in addition to church approval?

Yes. While the "Ecclesiastical Exemption" covers Listed Building Consent, you still need standard Planning Permission from your Local Planning Authority for material changes to the building’s appearance. Note: If panels are placed on a modern extension or outbuilding rather than the historic roof, the process is often much simpler, and planning might not be needed at all.

How do we find an installer who has specific experience working on heritage or ecclesiastical buildings?

Choose an MCS-certified installer with a proven portfolio of listed building projects. At MakeMyHouseGreen, we specialise in navigating these complex heritage requirements and can provide references for similar work.

Can we install a "battery-only" system to take advantage of cheap overnight tariffs if solar panels aren't feasible?

Absolutely. If your roof isn't suitable, a battery allows you to "bulk buy" cheap green energy from the grid at night and use it during the day, significantly reducing your carbon footprint and costs.

Is our church eligible for the 0% VAT rate on energy-saving materials, and when does this tax relief expire?

Currently, solar and battery installations for charities are zero-rated for VAT. This 20% saving is a huge benefit, but the current relief is scheduled to expire on 31 March 2027.
