Pentland Renewables designs and arranges solar PV for homes across Edinburgh, Midlothian, East Lothian and West Lothian. We survey your roof, design a system around how you use electricity, and give you a fixed written quote.
Solar panels run on daylight, not heat. They still generate on bright, cool days, and cooler panels work more efficiently. Output is lower in winter and higher from spring to autumn, so we design around your whole year, not one sunny week.
Roof direction, pitch, shading and condition
Your electricity use and when in the day you use it
Where the inverter and any future battery would go

Solar panels installed on homes are zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027. If you're planning solar, there's a clear reason to get your survey booked now.
We can design for a battery from day one, or leave space and wiring options for one later. See battery storage in Edinburgh.
