    Could be a good option for sure. I could start there and see how it all pans out. That way I can probably trim some branches to give maximum light to the end of the garden. I could build the panels into the design so that works as well. Interesting! Very interesting indeed. I hadn't realized...

    Really not that much, unfortunately. I've added a pic for reference (roof.jpg) so you can see the roof (ignore the ridge tiles, they are on the fix list). The flat roof of the kitchen extension does indeed have a skylight so not enough space. We will likely be extending the house in the next...

    Tree - I know, I'm still thinking about it myself. I could only justify it if I have lots of panels if that makes sense. If I offset my carbon substantially through the panels then it somehow balances in my mind (in theory). It would be the difference between full sun all day and probably half a...
