I am buying a property in Chesham. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. TSB have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with TSB your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB.
