Cheshire & Warrington Public Sector Carbon Management Programme has developed a "checklist" to help other public bodies better understand the potential benefits and challenges of installing solar photovoltaics.

The checklist highlights a number of key issues that should be examined when looking into the feasibility of a project, including:

• Site ownership/leasing
• Building durability
• Location
• FiT income
• Grid connection
• Planning permission
• Quotations
• Warranties
• Installations
