Scotland Gets More Solar Than You Think
Scotland receives enough solar irradiance to make solar PV a sound investment — even on overcast days, panels generate electricity from diffuse light. A typical 4kWp system on a Scottish home can generate 3,000–3,500 kWh per year, covering a significant portion of average household consumption.
Greenskye Energy are MCS-accredited solar PV installers, meaning our installations meet the quality standard required to access the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) and government funding schemes. We handle everything from initial survey and system design through to grid connection and DNO notification.

What Solar PV Delivers for Your Home
Slash Your Energy Bills
Every unit of solar electricity you use directly offsets grid electricity at current rates. A well-sized system can cut household electricity bills by 40–70% depending on usage patterns.
Smart Export Guarantee Income
Export surplus electricity back to the grid and earn a payment per kWh through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). Rates vary by supplier — we help you find the best tariff.
Battery Storage Integration
Pair your solar panels with a battery storage system to store daytime generation for evening use — maximising self-consumption and reducing grid dependency further.
MCS-Accredited Installation
Our MCS accreditation guarantees installation quality and is required to access SEG payments and government funding. Every installation comes with a full MCS certificate.
Increase Your EPC Rating
Solar PV can significantly improve your home's Energy Performance Certificate rating — boosting property value and making your home more attractive to buyers and mortgage lenders.
Low Maintenance, Long Life
Quality solar panels carry 25-year performance warranties and require minimal maintenance. Our aftercare service ensures your system performs optimally for decades.
From Survey to Switched On

Make Solar Even More Affordable
Several funding routes can reduce the upfront cost of solar PV installation for Scottish homeowners.
Home Energy Scotland Loan
Interest-free loans from Home Energy Scotland for solar PV and battery storage. No repayments for the first year, then spread over up to 12 years.
Smart Export Guarantee
Earn a payment for every unit of surplus electricity exported to the grid. Rates currently range from 4p to 15p per kWh depending on your chosen supplier tariff.
ECO4 / Warm Homes Plan
Solar PV may be funded as part of a whole-house retrofit package for eligible low-income households under ECO4 or the Scottish Warm Homes Plan.
