Nice to see the panels in sunshine. My panels would win no beauty contest. 6 x 3 solid block. They are quite nice.0

Think you're confusing ridge tile line permitted development rule with the edges of the roof.
I'll post a photo of our 3.7kWp system when the sun is out. It has been glorious for the past four days, but today it is grey in Cider Country. Friday-Monday has seen our best generation since early November, with 36.1kWh generated and yesterday alone 10.5kWh :j
Edit:
Now the sun has come out. Bit difficult to get the full roof in shot as our garden isn't very deep. It's a 3.7kWp SSE facing system on a 42 degree pitch in NE Somerset. Currently running 30% ahead of PVGIS estimate since installation end of October 2011.

you will see a range of opinions, from 100mm to 600mm minimum distance. It is to do with wind shear at the edge of a roof.0 -

If they really looked like that you'd probably have downed a couple of bottles of wine, or there's a serious problem with heights which effects the eyesight ...:D
