Secure at least two parallel solar panel support rails onto the shed roof. Ensure they’re anchored and weatherproofed to withstand outdoor conditions. Create a small opening in the shed’s ceiling for the electrical conduit. Extend it from the support wall to the roof and place the electrical box at the rooftop’s edge.

Farm buildings can provide large, uncomplicated roof spaces which are ideal for installing solar PV, helping farmers to reduce their energy bills significantly.
[pdf] 1. Plan and Prepare Start by gathering the necessary tools for a DIY installation. . 2. Attach the Fixing Bracket to the Solar Panel . 3. Attach the Fixing Bracket to the Solar Panel’s Mounting Hole . 4. Attach the Other Leg of the Fixing Bracket . 5. Attach the Adjustable Bracket to the Fixing Bracket . 6. Connect Multiple Panels (Optional)
[pdf] If you wish to avoid the need for planning permission, the panels must:Not be installed above the highest point of the property (not including chimneys)Be fitted in a way that least affects the external appearance of the property and the surrounding areaNot protrude more than 200mm from the surface of your roof
[pdf] Here’s an easy calculation you can do: Multiply the square footage of your roof by .75 to account for the required solar setback. (More on that below.).

A standard 4kW solar PV system requires about 20 m² of roof space, resulting in approximately 150-170 kWh per m² of installed roof area annually.
