Why Go Solar in Perth?

Solar technology can collect both direct and diffuse sunlight, generating electricity even on cloudy days. Perth's cooler temperatures actually make solar panels work more efficiently.

Save Money on Energy Bills

At the October 2026 price cap of 26.32p/kWh, a typical 5 kW system cuts electricity bills by roughly £260–£530 a year: the low end is a typical home, the high end a home that uses more electricity, such as one with an EV. Export payments add roughly £80–£360, depending on your export tariff and how much is left over to export. A battery adds about £60–£200 a year. Your standing charge stays the same.

Benefit from Government Incentives

Solar and battery installations are zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, saving you 20%. Once your system is MCS-certificated you can register for the Smart Export Guarantee and get paid for the surplus you export. Home Energy Scotland withdrew its solar and battery funding in June 2024, so we won't pretend otherwise.

Boost Your Property Value

Solar panels can increase a property's worth between 4–14%, according to studies. That could mean an additional £10,000–£20,000 for an average property in Scotland.

Energy Independence

Pairing solar panels with a battery bank allows storing excess energy for use during high demand times or nighttime, reducing grid consumption.

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.

Answer a few quick questions about your property and energy use. We use satellite imagery of your roof to design a system around your answers and show what you could realistically save.

2

Finalise Your Design

We'll have a quick, no-obligation chat to walk you through the design, answer all questions, and make any adjustments. We don't proceed until you're 100% happy.

3

Professional Installation

Our certified, in-house team handles everything. Most installations are completed in just one or two days, with minimal disruption.

4

Start Saving

We switch on your system, show you how it works, and you start generating your own low-carbon electricity from day one.

Our Promise to You

Our Work,
Backed for
Six Years

Your panels carry the manufacturer's own warranties, and our own installation work is covered for six years from completion. You get the details of both in writing at handover.

Manufacturer Performance Warranty

Your chosen panel's manufacturer sets its performance warranty and terms, separately from our workmanship cover. We'll explain what applies to the panels in your quote.

6-Year Workmanship Warranty

If a defect comes from our installation work, such as loose cabling, a badly fixed mounting or a leak caused by our roof work, we'll put it right. Your solar installation is covered for six years from completion.

Cover That Stays With Your Home

Sell the house within those six years and our workmanship warranty passes to the new owner for the time left, once you let us know. Any insurance or financial-protection policy linked to your installation has its own transfer terms.

Neither warranty limits your statutory rights. If something isn't right after installation, get in touch and we'll work out whether it's our workmanship or a manufacturer claim, then explain the next step. Our warranty and aftercare page explains what's covered and how to report a problem.

Yes, absolutely. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not just direct sunlight. While more sun is better, they are highly efficient and still produce significant power on the overcast days common in Scotland. Cooler temperatures also help them operate more efficiently than in very hot climates.Read the full answer
