Some manufacturers will customise them to your particular requirements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But it is important to remember the following with your solar panel installation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Anyone installing a kit needs good plumbing and building skills, this isn\u2019t the kind of project to have your first stab at DIY.<\/li>\n<li>On the cash side &#8211; the terms of a grant require that the system is installed by an accredited installer, therefore DIY systems do not comply. It is worth comparing the savings to be made from DIY kits against the amount that could be obtained through a grant.<\/li>\n<li>On the practical side &#8211; panels can be heavy. You need expert advice on whether your roof is capable of bearing the extra weight of the solar panel installation, especially when panels are fitted over existing tiles. Having to replace sections of a roof and make good any damage done is not a pleasant thought.<\/li>\n<li>Water heating systems need to be checked out to ensure that they are compatible for a solar panel installation. For example, a combination boiler is often incompatible as it doesn\u2019t use a storage tank, and works on a high pressure system &#8211; whereas most solar water heating systems are low pressure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>MCS accredited installers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The feed-in tariff scheme linked with solar panels is one of the significant reasons solar panels have become so important.
