4. Installing solar panels

You may need an EPC if you’re fitting solar panels, and a second visit once they’re installed. You may also wish to get a new EPC after you’ve undertaken other energy efficiency improvements such as installing loft insulation to show the improvements it has made to your home’s energy efficiency. Proof of the improvements to your EPC rating may also give you access to green mortgages.
