Solar services we provide
From a simple rooftop solar array to a fully integrated solar, battery and EV charging system.
Solar PV Installation
Roof-mounted solar panels designed and installed for your property. We size the system to your energy usage, roof orientation and budget — then install to MCS standards with full certification.
Battery Storage
Store surplus solar generation and use it when you need it most — evenings, overnight, or during peak tariff periods. We install leading battery systems including GivEnergy, SolarEdge and Solis.
Hybrid Systems
A hybrid inverter combines solar generation, battery storage and grid connection in one intelligent system. Maximise self-consumption and minimise your bills.
EV Integration
Charge your electric vehicle from your own solar panels. We design integrated solar + EV charger systems that intelligently route surplus generation to your car.
Monitoring & Smart Control
Real-time monitoring via app so you can see exactly what your system is generating, consuming and exporting. Smart controls optimise your energy use automatically.
Warranties & Aftercare
Panel warranties of 25 years, inverter warranties of 10–12 years, and installation workmanship warranty. We're here after the install, not just before it.

Solar panel FAQs
How much does solar panel installation cost in Ayrshire?
A typical domestic solar PV system in Ayrshire costs between £5,000 and £9,000 depending on system size, roof type and battery storage requirements. We provide fixed-price quotes following a free survey.
Do solar panels work in Scotland?
Yes. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not direct sunshine. Scotland receives enough daylight hours to make solar PV a sound investment, particularly when combined with battery storage to maximise self-consumption.
Can I add battery storage to existing solar panels?
In most cases, yes. We can retrofit battery storage to existing solar PV systems, allowing you to store surplus generation and use it in the evening or overnight.
Can solar panels charge my EV?
Yes. Integrating solar PV with an EV charger allows you to charge your vehicle using free solar energy. We design and install integrated solar + EV systems across Ayrshire.
How long does solar panel installation take?
Most domestic solar PV installations are completed in one to two days. Battery storage can typically be added in a single day. We minimise disruption and leave your property clean and tidy.
Do I need planning permission for solar panels in Ayrshire?
Most domestic solar panel installations fall under permitted development rights and do not require planning permission. We advise on any exceptions — for example, listed buildings or conservation areas — during the survey.
