Cornwall National Landscape doesn’t rule out solar.

Much of Cornwall sits within the Cornwall National Landscape, the area formerly known as the Cornwall AONB. That status doesn’t remove permitted development rights for an ordinary roof-mounted system, so most homes here can still install without needing planning permission at all. We confirm exactly where your property stands as part of every free survey, before you commit to anything.
