What I don't understand is why, on a nearby newbuild estate, they are installing solar panels but only 3 or 4 per roof even though lots of space for plenty more. That's almost worse than not installing any at all.

Hard agree. Especially as integrated panels.

They are integrated panels, so they are installed instead of roof tiles. Solar panels are *cheaper* per square meter than roof tiles. But this makes it completely uneconomical for the people who live in the house to install more panels.
