Solar Packages Built Around Your Home

Yes, but with realistic expectations. Scotland gets roughly 800 kWh per kWp per year against about 950 in the south of England — around 15% less. The bigger factor is how much of your own generation you use directly, which is why we push modular batteries. A typical Scottish household on our Shield package sees an 8–11 year payback. Anyone quoting you 5 years is using optimistic assumptions.

Yes. Every installer we work with is MCS registered and holds current certification, and your system is certified on completion. We design the system, manage the project and handle the documentation and the DNO notification; you receive your MCS certificate at handover. Keep it safe — it is what you need to register for Smart Export Guarantee payments, and it underpins your warranty and any grant or scheme application.

Two ways: outright, or on finance. Paying cash gives you the best total return because you pay no interest, and typical payback in Scotland is 8–12 years. Finance means £0 deposit and you start saving from day one, though your bill saving usually offsets most rather than all of the monthly repayment — we show you both side by side at quote stage so you can decide with the real numbers in front of you.

The battery is built from stackable modules rather than being one sealed unit. You can start with 7.68 kWh and add another module in two years without replacing the inverter or redesigning the system. It means you don't have to guess your future usage today — and if you later add an EV or a heat pump, the system grows with you.

No. Twelve months of Care is included with every package, and after that you can continue on Care, drop to Monitor at £15/month, or cancel entirely. Your system keeps working either way — you'd just lose the fault alerts and the engineer dispatch. In practice a fault that goes unnoticed for six months costs more than several years of the plan.

No, and we would rather say so plainly. The plan covers monitoring, diagnosis, a guaranteed response window and handling your warranty claim — it is a maintenance plan, not an insurance policy. Parts are usually covered by the manufacturer for a long time (panels 25–30 years, inverters 5–12, batteries around 10), but the labour to diagnose and replace them generally is not. If a repair is needed you get a quote before anyone attends, and you decide. Any plan that implies unlimited free repairs at £28 a month is either mispriced or is going to argue with you when it matters.

Most residential installs are completed in a single day, typically 2–3 weeks after your survey. That window covers the design, your DNO notification, and scheduling. Commercial systems are scoped individually.

We'll tell you at survey stage rather than sell you a system that disappoints. Heavy shading, a north-facing pitch or a roof needing structural work can all make solar a poor investment. In those cases we'll usually point you at insulation or a heat pump first — the survey is free either way.
