What does Edinburgh Solar Compare do?
Most Edinburgh homeowners get one or two quotes and pick one. We help you compare properly: panel brands such as JA Solar, Jinko, LONGi, REC and SunPower; inverters such as SolarEdge, Enphase, Huawei, GoodWe and Solis; and batteries such as Duracell, Pylontech, Tesla Powerwall 3 and Sungrow. You then get a written quote from a vetted installer partner and can weigh specs, warranties and price side by side.
Who carries out the installation?
We are a renewable energy consultancy, not an installer. We install through MCS-certified partners. Your installer partner surveys the home, designs the system, handles the SP Distribution notification and provides the MCS certificate for the installation.
Which homes is it suited to?
Detached and semi-detached houses, bungalows and many terraced homes across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Tenements and listed buildings in the Old Town and New Town can have planning or shading limits, so the survey checks the roof, the orientation and any conservation rules before a quote is written. Optimisers or microinverters are often suggested where chimneys or neighbouring roofs cast shade.
How does the quote process work?
Tell us your postcode, roughly what you spend on energy each month and what you are interested in. We arrange a survey with an installer partner who works in your area, then you receive a written, no-obligation quote. Nothing is fitted until you have the quote in writing and choose to go ahead.
Can I pay monthly?
Interest-free credit available, subject to status. The written quote can show the cash price and the finance option together so you can decide which suits you.
