I think I get it...
Road is the red line. So I can't change the garage hip end to a gable I don't think.

I'd really have liked to go in roof but don't think I can. I know nothing of standard panel sizes etc. This is me playing if I put a hip on the back. 11 panels vertical or 12 horizontal. 1035x1688mm panels, 320W.

solar panels and pv panels are permitted developement
but best to check on front solar panels and pv panels as it would change the look of the front of the property
sometimes using other space by say a shed build or portable shed build are the required best angle is worth building if you can as its also permitted development

I think it's always best to spend £150 or so on a visit to the planners and have several drawn up designs & plans with you and ask them " Which one will you be supportive of if I need to put in for planning consent ? ".
Doing it that way saved me 12 or more £ thousands for it was revealed I didn't have a ransom strip between the road edge & my property . It might well save you a lot of dosh and hair pulling too.

Is there a rule of thumb as to how many brackets required for a solar thermal panel?

its down to weight and width of the units whilst spreading the load on the roof as well as wind load
so a 2ft unit would need a bracket every 2ft if used on a rail or fastened direct to the unit
if you want to fit 3 rails you can do as its more support than just a 2 rail system

Just tninking about getting on with the thermal tube install asap. Do I really have to strip off the whole hip and refelt? I'm sure if I was a roofer it'd be a morning's work...I'm not
Thinking to just strip of an area and re-felt that:
Just dug the 3 panels out of "storage", where they got damaged. At first glance 11 of the 36 tubes are knackered:
Hopefully a very nice man is delivering me some unwanted s/hand ones next weekend!
How do you remove these tubes, with the panel laid flat? There's a gasket at the top and a plastic clip at the bottom.
Ta.

Ta. As I say I have replacement tubes coming next week.
Those plastic cups unscrew/unclip an you can slide the tube out. They normal just have some thermal paste at the top where they enter the manifold.
I would assume you can just slide out some tiles where the brackets need fit. There is now way a solar company would remove the whole roof, in fact they would probably just silde the brackets up under the tiles and poke them through the membrane/felt.
