- Page 27 When determining the edge and corner zones of a building, the current regulations must be factored in. When an edge or corner zone is indicated by Esdec, this relates to the minimum edge or corner zone. Placing solar panels in the edge or corner zone of a building is always at your own risk and is strongly discouraged.
