Frequently asked questions
Last reviewed: October 2026
What are solar panels and how do they work on a Scottish home?
Solar panels are roof-mounted modules that turn daylight into electricity for your home. An inverter converts that power so your lights, appliances and heating controls can use it first, with any surplus stored in a battery or exported to the grid. The system runs quietly in the background with no moving parts and little day-to-day attention.
Are solar panels worth it in Scotland's climate?
Yes, solar panels can work well in Scotland because they generate from daylight, not just direct sunshine. Long summer days help make up for shorter winter ones, and cooler temperatures suit panel efficiency. Whether they suit your home depends on roof direction, shading and how you use electricity, which is exactly what your free survey checks.
How does the free solar survey work?
Your free, no-obligation survey starts with a short conversation about your home and energy use. We then review your roof direction, pitch, shading and electrical setup, either on site or using detailed imagery. You receive a tailored system design and a written quote, with no pressure to proceed and plenty of time to ask questions.
What happens on solar installation day?
On installation day, we install through MCS-certified partners who arrive at the agreed time, set up safe roof access and mount the panels. An electrician connects the inverter and any battery to your consumer unit, then tests the full system. Before leaving, the team shows you how the monitoring app works and answers your questions.
Can I spread the cost of solar panels?
Yes. Loans available, subject to status, so you can spread the cost of a solar system rather than paying everything upfront. Your adviser explains the available options during your free survey, and any finance is arranged through authorised lenders. You can compare a finance option with paying outright before you decide, with no obligation to go ahead.
