Can plug-in solar panels improve a landlord’s EPC rating?

Hello all. I am a landlord with many properties in Nottingham. I am going through the process of getting the EPC ratings to a C before the 2030 deadline. I have looked at the plug-in solar panels which are becoming available soon.

Have any of the readers of Property118 found out if and how they impact an EPC score, how many KW are needed/EPC points , does landlord/tenant ownership matter and what is the situation regarding a feed in tariff?

I am keen to fit these, but I don’t want to spend thousands of pounds across my portfolio, only to find out that they are excluded from consideration re EPC’s.

Like many energy efficiency improvements, these are often advertised as having a payback timeline, but nobody in authority seems to understand or care, that all of the energy cost benefit goes to the tenant, whilst the installation costs are borne by the landlord (inflating rents far beyond the proposed savings).

This seems like a good EPC solution, but anti-landlord terms are sometimes hidden in legislation nowadays.

Hopefully someone can help.
