     It is North at the back, meaning south at the front (assumed they can't be front facing) very small area on the sides (not sure on actual size).

    There’s no issue with them being front facing. Possibly if you were in a conservation area they might have an opinion but otherwise there should be no need to worry.

    Why not? Front facing panels are amazing too!

    South facing aspects are excellent for PV

    I think solar panels look rather nice  :) 

    We are in a conservation area and my neighbour got his approved no problem (on the front)

    We've got black on black panels on the front. And, as we have dark slates, we've just changed the look from lot's of little black rectangles, to a smaller number of large black rectangles.

    This was done back in 2012 - when I showed Wifey the pics of the black on black panels I'd found (quite new/rare back then), she called them 'stealth panels'.
