Honest answers to the questions everyone asks.

Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Yes! Despite the country’s climate, solar panels work perfectly and are highly efficient in Scotland. It’s a common misconception that if you don’t get sunny weather, a solar panel system won’t work. The fact is you don’t need bright sunshine to get great generation from your system. We recently installed a 5.8kWp system in the Scottish Borders, that had a daily generation of 12.5kWh in early January, this is a higher output than a typical households daily energy use!

Every system we install includes a monitoring app you can access from your phone. It shows live performance data and easy-to-read graphs, so you can see exactly how much energy your system is generating and how it changes over time.This lets you track output, spot trends, and understand how your solar panels are contributing to lower electricity use. If you ever have questions about performance, our team is always available to review the data with you and offer advice.

It depends on how and when you use energy. If your home is empty during the day, battery storage is usually a strong investment. It stores the energy your panels generate while you’re out, so you can use it later in the evening when demand is higher.

For many households, this dramatically improves how much of their solar energy they actually use.

Yes, it’s an excellent match. You can charge your vehicle using the energy your system generates, reducing running costs and reliance on the grid.

We can also program your battery to charge overnight on cheaper EV tariffs, which can cut charging costs significantly. It’s one of the most efficient ways to combine solar, battery storage, and EV ownership.

In most cases, yes. There are several upgrade options depending on your current system and equipment. The best approach is to contact us so we can review what you have and recommend the safest and most cost-effective solution.
