Installation & switch-on
Our in-house MCS-certified team installs cleanly, commissions, and shows you how to use it
Honest answers to the questions everyone asks.
Does solar actually work in Scottish Borders?
Yes. Panels run on daylight, not heat, and Borders gets plenty of usable daylight year-round. Cooler temperatures actually make panels more efficient — making Scotland an excellent location for solar.
How long does installation take?
A typical Borders home install: 1–2 days. Larger commercial or agricultural projects vary; we give a clear timeline up front.
What about cloudy days or winter in Scottish Borders?
You still generate power, just less. A battery stores up brighter days for dimmer ones; the grid tops up the rest.
Will I get paid for energy I don't use?
Yes — because we’re MCS-certified, your install qualifies for the Smart Export Guarantee.
Are batteries worth adding?
For most Borders properties, yes — they let you use cheap solar power in the evening when grid prices peak, and keep essentials running during outages.
What warranties do I get?
Up to 25 years on panel performance, 10–15 on inverters and batteries, plus our own workmanship guarantee.
