Fife housing and roofs
Fife has a wide mix: new-town housing in Glenrothes, Victorian and inter-war streets in Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline, and stone cottages with red pantile roofs in Crail, Anstruther and Pittenweem. Pantiles need a different mounting approach from slate or concrete tiles, which the survey identifies.
Parking and EV chargers
Most suburban and new-town homes have driveways, which keeps a charger installation simple. The narrow streets of the East Neuk villages and central St Andrews often mean on-street parking, which rules out a home charger.
Planning, weather and network
The East Neuk villages and St Andrews have conservation areas and many listed buildings, so panels visible from the street may need permission. The Fife coast is relatively dry by Scottish standards, though exposed to sea winds. Your network operator is SP Energy Networks.
