On April 13th 2006 our Solar PV was finally installed. Chelsfield Solar arrived at 7.45am with 5 installers. They had a few difficulties with the tiles on the roof and broke quite a few. However this was to be expected as the tiles are old and snap like biscuit. Luckily the roofers had left plenty of tiles so that the broken ones could be replaced relatively easily.

If you wish to see how the roof was retiled.
