FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do you install in your part of Scotland?
- Yes. Scotland Solar installs solar panels, battery storage, heat pumps and EV chargers in your part of Scotland and across the rest of Scotland, with our team working from our office in Dundee. Call 0141 230 0198 or use the quote form to check your postcode.
- Can I add a battery to my existing solar panels?
- Yes. A home battery can usually be added to an existing solar system, either connected to your current inverter or with a hybrid inverter. During the survey we check your inverter, wiring and space for the battery, then recommend a size that suits how you use electricity.
- Is finance available?
- Finance available, subject to status. Ask about monthly payment options when you call or request a quote, and we will explain what is available for your installation before you decide. There is no obligation to go ahead.
- How do I get a quote?
- Call 0141 230 0198 or fill in the quote form. We arrange a survey of your home or business, then send a written, no-obligation quote showing the full price of the system we recommend. You can take your time to decide.
- How much do solar panels cost in Scotland?
- Our solar systems start from £4,500 for 3kWp and £6,200 for 4kWp, with a 6kWp system plus battery from £9,500. Prices include 0% VAT until 31 March 2027. Your written quote shows the full price for your roof.
- Do solar panels work well in Scotland?
- Yes. Panels generate electricity from daylight, not only direct sunshine, so they keep working on cloudy days. Output depends on your roof direction, pitch and shading, which we assess during the survey.
- What size solar system do I need?
- Most Scottish homes suit a system between 3kWp and 6kWp. Smaller systems suit lower electricity use, while larger systems suit homes with a heat pump or electric car. We recommend a size after the survey.
- Do I need planning permission for solar panels in Scotland?
- Most home solar installations fall under permitted development. Listed buildings, conservation areas and some flat-roof layouts can need permission, and we check this for you before installation.
- How long does installation take?
- Most home solar installations are completed in one to two days once the survey, design and any grid notification are done.
