Further revisions to the design

Semi integrated PV modules 

We plan to fit semi integrated PV modules to the roof such that the surface of the PV module comes flush with the surface of the tiles. Semi integrating the modules is more expensive than the much more common surface mounting but is more visually pleasing.
We have also worked hard to concentrate the PV array to the eastern end of the roof. This leaves the western end of the roof, the end nearest to the neighbours, dominated by tiles.
The PV array is not visible from Riseley High Street.
