Landlords Question EPC Impact of Plug-In Solar Panels
A landlord in Nottingham has raised the question of whether plug-in solar panels can improve a property's Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating. The query was shared on Property118 as the landlord seeks to upgrade multiple properties to meet the EPC C rating requirement before the 2030 deadline.
The landlord noted that plug-in solar panels are becoming available and is seeking information from other landlords about their potential impact on EPC ratings. The post does not provide further details or answers regarding the effectiveness of plug-in solar panels for improving EPC scores.
This topic is relevant for UK letting agents and inventory clerks who are monitoring changes in EPC requirements and considering new technologies that may affect property compliance.
