Local guide: Solar Panels and Batteries for Dundee Homes
Dundee housing and roofs
Dundee has sandstone tenements in the West End and Lochee, Victorian jute-baron villas along the Perth Road and in Broughty Ferry, and large interwar and post-war estates across the north of the city. Roofs range from steep slate with dormers to low concrete tile. Many streets climb the slope of the Law, which gives south-facing roofs a clear view of the sky. Newer homes around the city fringe, such as those near Western Gateway, often have simple tiled pitches that suit tidy arrays.
Planning and conservation in Dundee
Dundee City Council manages a number of conservation areas, including the West End and Broughty Ferry. Panels visible from a public road in these areas may need planning permission, and listed buildings need listed building consent. Rear slopes and lower roofs are often easier. We check the council's records before recommending a layout.
Tay weather and daylight
Sitting on the north shore of the Firth of Tay, Dundee benefits from the shelter of the Sidlaw Hills and tends to be drier than the west coast. Easterly haar does reach the waterfront at times, and wind off the estuary can be brisk. Long summer days drive most generation, with a battery spreading output into the evening.
