Generate Your Own Clean Energy — and Store It

Solar PV panels turn Scottish daylight into free electricity for your home. Add battery storage and use your solar energy around the clock, even after dark.

How Solar PV Works

Free Electricity from Scottish Daylight

Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels convert daylight — not just direct sunshine — into electricity. Scotland receives enough solar irradiance to make solar PV a sound investment, with typical systems generating 3,000–4,000 kWh per year. Any electricity you don't use can be exported to the grid via the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), earning you money for every unit you send back.

Pair your solar panels with a battery storage system and you can store surplus daytime generation for use in the evening and overnight — maximising self-consumption and reducing your reliance on grid electricity.

Key Benefits

Why Install Solar PV?

Slash Your Energy Bills

A typical 4 kWp system can save £500–£1,000 per year on electricity bills, depending on usage and tariff.

Smart Export Guarantee

Get paid for surplus electricity exported to the grid. Most major energy suppliers now offer SEG tariffs.

Works in Scottish Weather

Solar PV generates electricity from daylight, not heat. Scotland's long summer days make it highly effective.

Battery Storage Option

Store surplus solar energy in a home battery and use it in the evening — maximising your self-consumption.

Power Your Heat Pump

Combine Solar PV with an Air Source Heat Pump for a near-zero carbon, ultra-low-cost heating and power system.

25-Year Panel Warranty

Modern solar panels are highly durable, with manufacturer performance warranties of 25 years or more.
