Quick answer

How It Works
Store by day. Use by night. Export the surplus.
Your solar panels generate electricity during the day. Your battery stores what you don't use immediately. When the sun goes down, you draw from the battery instead of the grid. Any surplus can be exported to the grid and may earn Smart Export Guarantee payments, with rates set by each supplier.
In Scotland, a battery can also help through grid arbitrage: on a suitable tariff it charges on cheaper overnight electricity and discharges during peak hours. Your survey shows how much that could matter for your home. For a deeper look at home battery storage options, see our sister site Solar Battery Upgrade. Part of the Scottish Energy Efficiency network.

Energy independence scale
Where do you want to be on your energy independence journey?
- No solarStep 1
All of your electricity comes from the grid.
- Solar panels onlyStep 2
Daytime use is covered by your roof when the sun is out; surplus is exported.
- Solar panels and a batteryStep 3
Daytime surplus is stored and used in the evening instead of being exported.
- Larger array, larger batteryStep 4
More of the year is covered from your own generation and storage, sized at survey.
Illustrative only. What suits your home depends on your roof, orientation and how you use electricity; your survey confirms it.

Common questions
Yes. We arrange surveys and installations across Scotland through our MCS-certified installation partners. Enter your postcode on the quote form or call 0141 230 0198 and we will confirm coverage for your address.
Usually, yes. Most existing solar systems can take a battery, either through a hybrid inverter or a separate battery inverter. Our surveyor checks your current inverter, wiring and space, then sets out the options on your written quote.
Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status. Ask about spreading the cost when you request your quote, and the options will be set out clearly before you commit to anything.
Call 0141 230 0198 or fill in the quote form. We arrange a survey of your home, then send a written, no-obligation quote with the system, price and warranty terms confirmed in writing.
Most domestic roof installations are permitted development. Listed buildings, conservation areas and some unusual roof or ground-mounted systems may need consent. We check the property's position during the survey and explain what is needed before any work is booked.
We assess your roof, shading, consumer unit, electricity use and space for equipment. We then recommend a suitable system and send a written, no-obligation quote showing the equipment, price and warranty terms before you decide.
