Solar in Edinburgh: common questions
Do you install solar panels in Edinburgh?
Yes. We install through MCS-certified partners who cover Edinburgh and every EH postcode. Tell us your postcode and we match you with partners who work in your street, so the surveyor is local and knows the housing stock.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar panels?
Yes, in most cases. A battery can be added to an existing solar system using either an AC-coupled battery or a hybrid inverter. The survey checks your current inverter, fuse board and space so the quote covers exactly what your home needs.

Finance available, subject to status. Your written quote can show the cash price and the finance option side by side so you can choose what suits you.
How do I get a quote?
Call 0141 230 0198 or fill in the quote form. We arrange a survey of your home, then you receive a written, no-obligation quote. Nothing is booked until you decide to go ahead.
