If you are considering solar panels or battery storage for your Scottish farm or commercial property, you probably have questions about how it works, what it costs, and whether it is suitable for your site. Below are answers to the questions we hear most often from farmers and business owners across Scotland. If your question is not here, call us on 0141 230 0198 or complete the quote form and we will be happy to help.
These FAQs cover suitability, interest-free finance, the survey and installation process, battery storage, the areas we cover, and how MCS-certified installation works. We have kept the answers straightforward and specific to farms and commercial properties in Scotland.
Yes. Modern solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not just direct sunlight, and produce meaningful output in overcast conditions. Scotland also benefits from long daylight hours in summer. A survey assesses your site's orientation, shading and available area to confirm suitability.
Interest-free finance is available for farms and commercial properties, up to £30,000, subject to status. This means qualifying businesses can spread the cost of a paid installation without paying interest on the financed amount. We quote for paid installations only, and there are no grants or funding schemes involved.
We arrange no-obligation surveys and quotes for paid installations. The installation itself is carried out by our MCS-certified partner. MCS certification is a recognised industry standard for solar installation.
No. This service is for farms, estates and commercial businesses in Scotland only. We do not serve residential homeowners.
No. We quote for paid installations only. We do not offer grants, funding schemes or no-cost products, and we do not mention or administer any such schemes.
0% VAT applies to solar panels and batteries until 31 March 2027. This is a UK-wide reduced rate that applies to qualifying installations, and it lowers the cost of a system compared to the standard VAT rate.
Rooftop solar uses the roofs on your existing sheds, barns or commercial units and is usually the most cost-effective option. Ground-mount solar uses frames on spare or lower-grade land and can host larger arrays where roof space is limited or unsuitable.
A battery stores surplus generation for use when your panels aren't producing enough — in the evening, at night, or during outages. For farms and businesses, this means using more of the power you generate rather than exporting it, which can be particularly valuable for dairy, refrigeration and workshop loads.
Yes. The survey and the written quote that follows carry no obligation. You will not be charged for the survey or quote, and you can decide not to proceed at any stage.
