Looking for renewable energy installers in Inverness and the Highlands? We arrange solar panels, battery storage and heat pump installations through MCS-certified partners. This guide covers what Highland homeowners should know about off-grid heating, network limits and choosing the right combination of technologies.
Highland homes and energy
Many homes around Inverness and across the Highlands heat with oil, LPG or electric storage heaters. That makes the order of upgrades important: insulation first, then solar and a battery, and a heat pump where the home suits one.
Network connection in the Highlands
The Highlands are served by Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN). Larger systems need a G99 application before installation, and some rural areas have export limits. A battery helps keep more generation at home where export is capped.
Choosing an installer
Check that the installer is MCS-certified for the technology you want, that the quote is based on a survey, and that it includes network paperwork, commissioning and certification. We install through MCS-certified partners and provide a written quote showing 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 in Inverness?
Yes. We arrange solar panel and home battery installations in Inverness 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 cover areas outside Inverness?
Yes, including the Black Isle, Nairn, Strathspey, the Great Glen and further afield.
Can I combine solar with a heat pump?
Yes. Solar can supply some of a heat pump's electricity, especially in spring and autumn.
Is solar worthwhile this far north?
Long summer days give good generation, while winter output is low. A battery helps make the most of it.
