Frequently asked questions
Last reviewed: October 2026
How does interest-free solar finance work?
Interest-free credit up to £30,000 is available, subject to status and affordability. You spread the cost of your solar, battery or heat pump system over an agreed period with no interest charges. A deposit may be required. Terms and conditions apply, and your adviser explains the full details at your no-obligation survey.
How much can I borrow for solar panels?
You can borrow up to £30,000 interest-free, subject to status and affordability. The amount you borrow depends on the system cost and your financial circumstances. Your survey provides a written quotation including the system price and finance options.
Do I need a deposit for solar finance?
A deposit may be required depending on the finance provider and system cost. Some arrangements allow no deposit, while others require a percentage upfront. Your adviser explains the deposit requirements and all finance terms during your no-obligation survey.
Will finance affect my credit score?
Applying for finance involves a credit check, which may appear on your credit file. Making payments on time should not harm your credit score. Your adviser explains the finance process in full during your survey, and you are under no obligation to proceed.
Can I pay off the finance early?
Yes, you can usually pay off interest-free credit early without penalty, though terms vary by provider. Your adviser confirms the early settlement terms before you sign anything. All finance details are explained clearly at your survey.
What is included in the written quotation?
Your written quotation shows the full system price, equipment, warranties, finance options and all terms. There are no hidden costs. You have time to review everything before deciding, with no pressure to proceed.
Questions people ask about this service
Do you install solar panels and batteries in Scotland?
Yes, we arrange installations for homes and businesses in Scotland through MCS-certified partners. Every quote starts with a survey of the roof, energy use and budget, so the system is designed around your property — not a one-size-fits-all package.
How much do solar panels cost in Scotland?
Every system is designed for your home after a no-obligation survey. Your written quotation shows the full price, the equipment and the warranties before you commit. Finance are available, subject to status. We check which funding and finance options you qualify for.
Can I add a battery to solar panels I already have?
Usually yes, sometimes with an inverter upgrade if your current inverter is not battery-compatible. We check the existing system at the survey and explain the options first, so you know exactly what is involved, what it costs, and whether it makes sense before you decide.
Do solar panels work in Scottish weather?
Yes. Solar panels generate electricity on overcast days as well as sunny ones. A typical 5kW system in Scotland generates approximately 4,000 to 4,500 kWh per year. Generation is highest from April to September but continues year-round.
Is finance available?
Finance options are available, subject to status. We explain what is on offer with your written quote, including any applicable funding, so you can compare paying upfront against spreading the cost over monthly payments and choose the option that suits your budget.
