OMG that's worse than the 1st one. I'd turn the job down, it's not worth risking your reputation, you'll have 25 years to regret installing that monstrosity.

Are those bottom two panels just resting in the gutter and propped against the wall? Really makes the case for the forthcoming MCS regulations about mounting systems.
His installation does look an eyesore and I would be astonished if it met all the MCS rules and guidelines.
In my view the Council cannot stop him putting solar panels on, provided he meets the relevant conditions which are:
"A.2. Development is permitted by Class A subject to the following conditions—
(a) solar PV or solar thermal equipment installed on a building shall, so far as
practicable, be sited so as to minimise its effect on the external appearance of the
building;
(b) solar PV or solar thermal equipment shall, so far as practicable, be sited so as to
minimise its effect on the amenity of the area; and"
If he has already gone to appeal and lost then he is is probably stuffed because to overturn the inspector's decision he will need to go to the High Court for which he would need deep pockets. A better option might be to apply for planning permission for a slightly more subtle arrangement of panels, showing he has made an effort to minimise the impact. Provided he has done so an inspector would find it far more difficult to find against him.
Isn't that satellite dish big enough to require planning permission as well?!
