Solar panels and help to buy?

Hi fellow savers,
I wanted to get some general advice. Can you install solar panels on a property you bought using help to buy equity loan (not paid off yet).
Their website says the following.
Decorating, kitchen/bathroom re-fitting, solar panel installation or window replacements are not considered home improvements and are permitted without our approval.
But the above is under the heading

Adapting your home for a disability.
All of it is really confusing. Who would install solar panels for a disability?
Are they allowed? I have spoken to two people in the HTB helpline one has said yes the other has said no. So confusing.

Any advice on this?I have slightly different issue - ai have “Help to Buy” and recently installed solar panels and Tesla PowerWall 2, and solar panels and the battery are owned by my company
So, if I decide to move, I would probably need to dismantle the solar panels and the battery as they do not belong to the house
Will they considered when evaluating the house price when I decide to pay off Help to Buy? They are property of my company
Thanks0 -
Correct me if I’m wrong but they say you can add solar panels. I would assume though only if owned outright and not the ‘rented’ variety2006 LBM £28,000+ in debt.

Couldn't you just ask for their approval? I can't see the harm even if it turns out that you didn't need to ask them. Get the answer in writing, and then you're covered.0
