This means a lower material cost, faster installation and all round better value. The panel is manufactured to match standard 24\u201dx 12\u201d\u2018Duchess\u2019slates and is effectively 4 slates in a single panel. This project, being a grade II listed building in a conservation area and an area of outstanding natural beauty, posed significant planning problems. Standard solar panels were refused by the LPA so samples of Solar Slate were submitted by the homeowners, which gained approval.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>For further information visit: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.solarslate-ltd.com\/\"><b>http:\/\/www.solarslate-ltd.com\/<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/designbuybuild.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Solar-slate.bmp\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-977\" alt=\"Solar slate\" src=\"http:\/\/designbuybuild.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Solar-slate.bmp\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solar Slate has revolutionised the look of modern solar panels by creating a product that integrates seamlessly with standard roof slates The Solar Slate Traditional product is designed to match standard 20\u201dx 10\u201d\u2018Countess\u2019slates and provides a close colour match to many types of natural slate, particularly Welsh blue-grey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":977,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 -
