About us

About Edinburgh Solar Compare

We are a renewable energy comparison service for Edinburgh homes, not an installer. We help you compare solar panels, batteries, inverters and heat pumps, then connect you with the right partner.

Quick answer

Edinburgh Solar Compare is a quote comparison service, not an installer. You tell us about your home, we arrange a survey, and you receive written quotes for solar panels, batteries or heat pumps to compare side by side. We install through MCS-certified partners, and nothing is booked until you choose to go ahead.
