Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Llanbradach is not on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Llanbradach conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
Is it the case that all Llanbradach solicitor practices on the TSB conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the TSB conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Some banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be overseen by the CLC.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Llanbradach. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The CML Handbook contains minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Llanbradach.
