Why Solar PV?

Scotland Gets More Sun Than You Think

Modern solar panels don't need direct sunshine to generate electricity. They work on daylight, meaning Scotland's climate is well suited to solar PV. A typical 4kW system in Glasgow can generate around 3,200 kWh per year, covering a significant portion of a household's annual electricity use.

With energy prices elevated and the Smart Export Guarantee paying you for surplus electricity exported to the grid, the financial case for solar is stronger than ever.

Common Questions

Solar PV FAQs

Yes. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not direct sunshine. Scotland receives enough daylight hours to make solar PV financially worthwhile. Glasgow, for example, gets around 1,400 hours of sunshine per year, and panels generate meaningful output even on overcast days.

A typical 4kW system costs between £6,000 and £9,000 fully installed. Adding battery storage adds £2,500 to £5,000. Finance options are available subject to status. Most systems pay back within 7 to 10 years, with a panel lifespan of 25 to 30 years.

In most cases, no. Solar panels on a standard roof fall under permitted development rights in Scotland. Exceptions include listed buildings and some conservation areas. We check planning requirements as part of your free survey and advise you on what's needed.

The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) requires energy suppliers to pay you for surplus electricity you export back to the grid. Rates vary by supplier. We help you register for the best available tariff after installation.
