Commercial PV Systems

[stevie gill]

Hi Guys,

Have only stuck to domestic installs to date, but have had a couple of enquiries for larger systems on commercial properties, and are therefore after a bit of help.

Am I right in thinking that the VAT rate applicable would rise to 20% rather than the reduced 5% rate for domestic systems? The commercial properties in question are builder's merchants and factories.

Also, what is the state of play with regards to planning - the rules changed slightly I believe recently?? Does this mean that commercial installs are also now classed as 'permitted developments'??


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
