What to know before you get a quote

Solar for Scottish businesses and organisations

Businesses that use electricity during the working day are often well suited to rooftop or ground-mounted solar, because much of the power is used on site as it is generated. Offices, workshops, warehouses, shops, farms and public buildings across Scotland can all be assessed. A site survey looks at roof structure, orientation, shading and your daytime demand.

Adding battery storage

A commercial battery can store solar power for later in the day, help manage demand peaks and work with time-of-use tariffs. Sizing depends on your load profile, which the survey team reviews using meter data or half-hourly records where they are available.

Grid connection and approvals

Larger systems may need approval from the local distribution network operator before connection, and some sites need planning consent. We explain what applies to your site and build those steps into the programme so the timescale is realistic.

Planning work around your operations

Installation is scheduled to limit disruption to staff, customers, livestock or production. Access, scaffolding, isolation of electrics and safe working areas are agreed in advance, and the team keeps you updated throughout.

Your written proposal

You receive a written, no-obligation proposal setting out the equipment, the expected generation in kWh, the electrical work and the programme. Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status. We install through MCS-certified partners.

Working with us across Scotland

We arrange surveys and installations for homes and businesses from the Borders and Dumfries and Galloway to Fife, Tayside, Aberdeenshire, the Highlands and the central belt. Our team is based in Scotland, so we understand the housing stock here, from sandstone tenements and granite terraces to harled cottages, former council homes and new builds. Weather, exposure and roof type all shape how a system is designed and fitted, and these are considered from the first conversation.

What we will and will not promise

We do not quote standard figures for every home, because results depend on your roof, your electricity use and your tariff. Instead, your written quote explains the expected generation or storage in kWh and the assumptions behind it, so you can check them or ask questions. There is no pressure to proceed and no obligation. If something would not suit your property, we will say so plainly. We install through MCS-certified partners, and the documents you receive after installation explain your warranties.

Frequently asked questions

Can upgrades happen while the building is occupied?

Yes. Roof work and plant installation are scheduled to suit occupiers, with planned shutdowns agreed in advance for final electrical connections.

Do you survey the whole building?

The site survey covers roofs, electrical supply, heating plant and insulation, so the proposal shows which upgrades will make the most difference and in what order.

Can landlords and tenants share the benefit?

Often, yes. Solar electricity can be supplied to tenants under an agreement with the landlord. The right arrangement depends on the lease, which is worth reviewing early.
