Solar Panel Installation in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh
Scotland's capital city has an average house price of £296,878 — reflecting a population with significant disposable income for home improvements. While the historic centre has conservation restrictions, Edinburgh's extensive suburban areas — Corstorphine, Morningside, Cramond, Barnton, and the south-side suburbs — feature large detached and semi-detached homes with excellent roof space for solar installations. The city's professional workforce has high EV adoption rates, and the combination of rising energy costs and environmental awareness is driving strong demand for residential solar and battery systems. Edinburgh also offers significant commercial installation opportunities.
Why Solar Panel Installation Makes Sense in Edinburgh
Edinburgh's mix of commercial and residential properties creates opportunities for solar installations across all scales. For businesses, commercial solar can significantly reduce operating costs while demonstrating environmental commitment. For homeowners, residential solar systems deliver reliable bill savings that compound year on year. We handle everything from initial survey through to MCS certification and grid connection, ensuring a smooth process for every installation.

The Truth About Solar
Solar panels on their own are often not enough to make the significant difference you expect.
Unless you are home all day using the power as it's generated, much of it goes to waste by being exported for a low price, while you still buy expensive grid electricity at night.
A 'Which?' consumer survey found:
70% of solar owners use less than half the electricity they generate.
12% use less than a quarter of their solar electricity.
34% use between a quarter and half.
Our Smart Approach
We Make Sure You Use What You Generate
A standard installer gives you panels that might cut bills by 35%. We design a complete energy system to substantially increase those savings. Here's how:
Store Your Power
Don't export your valuable energy for pennies. We add a battery to store your excess solar power to use during the evening, when you need it most.
Heat Your Water for Free
If you have a hot water cylinder, we can install a diverter that uses your free solar energy to heat your water, cutting your gas or electricity usage even further.
Fuel Your Car with Sunshine
Integrate your Electric Vehicle charger into the system. This allows you to charge with free solar electricity and, with the right setup, even power your home from your car.
