Who we work with
We work with housebuilders planning new homes, housing associations retrofitting existing stock, commercial landlords improving their buildings, and owners who need ongoing maintenance for existing systems.
How projects run
Projects start with a feasibility review, including roof and electrical surveys, network capacity checks and any planning requirements. We then provide a design, a programme and a written proposal. Installations are carried out by MCS-certified partners.
Standards and compliance
Scottish building standards, network connection rules (G98 and G99) and MCS requirements all apply. For multi-unit projects, we coordinate network applications early because capacity can affect design.
Non-domestic buildings in Scotland
Farms, offices, schools, warehouses, social housing blocks and new-build developments each raise different design questions. Large roofs often support systems that need G99 approval from SP Energy Networks or SSEN before connection, and export may be limited where the local network is constrained, which is more common in parts of the Highlands, Argyll and the islands.
Good projects start with half-hourly consumption data, a structural check of the roof and a clear understanding of when the building uses power. A daytime-heavy business usually uses most of its solar directly, while buildings that are empty in the day may benefit from storage. Your proposal sets out the design, the connection route and the full price.

How our survey works
Every project starts with a no-obligation survey. We look at your roof orientation, pitch, shading and condition, your fuse board and meter position, where a battery or inverter could go, and how your household uses electricity through the day and across the Scottish seasons. You then receive a written quote showing the equipment, the expected generation for your roof and the full price, so you can compare it fairly. We handle the network connection paperwork with your local distribution network operator, which is SP Energy Networks in central and southern Scotland and SSEN in the north, Highlands and islands. We install through MCS-certified partners. Solar panels and batteries are 0% VAT until March 2027. Finance available, subject to status.
Frequently asked questions
Do you install solar panels and batteries across Scotland?
Yes. We arrange solar panel and home battery installations across Scotland through MCS-certified partners, covering houses, flats with suitable roofs and businesses. A surveyor checks your roof, electrics and usage before we give you a written quote.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar panels?
Usually, yes. Most existing solar systems can take a home battery, either through a hybrid inverter or an AC-coupled battery. The survey checks your current inverter, fuse board and space so we can recommend a battery that suits your system.
Is finance available?
Finance available, subject to status. Your written quote shows the full price, and we can talk you through monthly payment options if you would like to spread the cost.
How do I get a quote?
Call 0141 230 0198 or fill in the quote form. We arrange a survey of your home, then send a written, no-obligation quote showing the equipment, expected generation and full price.
Do you work on single buildings or portfolios?
Both. Portfolio projects benefit from a phased programme.
Can you work with our existing contractors?
Yes. We can coordinate with your main contractor or electrical team.
Do you provide aftercare?
Yes. See our maintenance and aftercare page.
