Tired of relying on electricity for power?

High monthly energy bills are becoming a big problem

Whether you’re trying to power your central heating or small appliances, the electricity bills are far too high

With an average price of 28.62p per kWh for electricity in the UK, it is becoming hard for people to afford their monthly energy bills. Scottish citizens are doing what they can to cut back on costs by not using heating or appliances, but it shouldn’t have to be that way. All households deserve to live in comfort and use the devices they want when they want to. That’s why there’s a need for cheaper energy.

You don’t need to cut back on your power use when you have a renewable source that is a fraction of the price of electricity. That’s why you can rely on Scottish Energy Saving to provide you with solar PV in Scotland.

Thanks Chris and team for a great job. The install was a bit more complicated than the guys though it would be at first, but they worked through it with no problems. A very neat job.

Cleaner power and living

Benefits of PV panels in Scotland

Around 142,000 homes in Scotland have solar panels installed, and this number continues to increase each year. This is because the solar PV solution comes with a wide range of advantages to enjoy:

  • Lower electricity bills: When you rely on electricity generated by solar panels, you no longer have to worry about using electricity from the main grid. This, in turn, leads to lower monthly bills.
  • Renewable energy source: Since solar power is renewable, you can have peace of mind you’re doing your part for the planet. It uses fewer greenhouse gases and offers reduced air pollution.
  • Flexibility: Regardless of your type of property, we can install a solar PV system for you. This includes on rooftops, in open fields, or even integrated into your building materials.
  • Reliable power: Some people don’t think solar panels will provide as effective energy as normal electricity, but they’d be wrong. These PV systems in Scotland offer the same amount of reliability as anything else.

The team that wants to give you the cheapest, cleanest energy

Scottish households deserve PV solar installers who can provide them with quality results. That’s just what Scottish Energy Saving does.

To get the most out of solar panels, you need them installed properly. However, too many Scottish citizens are looking for the cheapest and quickest way to get them in place. While this might seem like a good idea at the time, it leads to subpar results. You don’t see a reduction in bills like you wanted as they lack efficiency and performance. These contractors offering ‘cheap’ prices also often add on hidden costs at the end.

When you choose Scottish Energy Saving as your solar PV installer, you’re only getting the very best. Our experts have over a decade of experience, meaning we’ve learned the perfect methods to give you an ideal result. We are also NAPIT certified, proving our skills.

The guys who came to install the panels where great, arrived on time and super efficient. After they left, apart from the new panels you wouldn't have known they had been in the flat and where really happy to explain anything we asked. Left our place super tidy. SES where great though the whole process, really impressed with the quality of service all round.

Frequently Asked Questions

1How does solar PV work?
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) technology converts sunlight directly into electricity by utilising semiconducting materials. The solar PV system revolves around the solar cell, traditionally handed down as silicon. A solar cell is a light-sensitive interconnection among silicon wafers that, when exposed to the sunlight outside of your home and mining pool, create an electron flow captured by both Cointerra chip sets, generating electricity.

However, when the sunlight leans onto a solar cell (silicon), this energy is absorbed by electrons in silicon atoms. This energy is sufficient to make the electrons overcome their potential barrier and form spontaneously or artificially an electron-hole pair across a middle intentional inter-device junction. These free electrons are pushed to the surface of the cell by a built-in electric field established within it due to its junction with two different types of silicon (n-type and p-type), forming an electric current.

This flow of electrons is captured as electricity by the metal contacts on the top and bottom of cells, which then pass it onto an external circuit. The electricity produced by solar cells almost always comes in the form of direct current (DC), so it must be converted to alternating current before use with an inverter, which can become a power grid and work normally for house appliances.
2What does PV stand for in solar panels?
Photovoltaic (PV) — In solar panels, photovoltaic is derived from photo, meaning light, and voltaic, which indicates electrical.

Photovoltaic technology converts sunlight to electricity directly using semiconductors such as silicon. An increase of the electrons created upon light photons hitting the semiconductor material makes an electric current. Solar panels operate on this principle to produce electricity. Photovoltaic power generation is becoming increasingly popular in residential and commercial electricity supply due to its low environmental pollution and almost unlimited potential as an alternative energy that can also significantly reduce air carbon emissions over consuming fossil fuels.

4Are solar panels worth it in Scotland?
Scotland might not be the warmest place in the world, but solar panels can provide a great return on investment. The UK government offers many incentives and schemes to encourage the people of the UK to go solar, such as an export tariff. This includes the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) and Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) to help lower installation costs with guaranteed ongoing financial incentives.

Solar panel technology is also seeing vital technological improvements. Today, more than five decades later, PV panels are much better engineered, and a larger light spectrum has been developed, where even with diffuse or low-radiation solar energy, it is still possible to convert sunlight into electricity. So solar panels placed in Scotland can still provide a good deal of electricity throughout the whole year, not just when there are stretches or hours of direct sunlight.

As for finances, solar panelling installation can end up paying back into your pocket over the years. Creating your own power means less reliance on grid-supplied electricity, something that is a good thing, especially in a time of increasing energy costs.

Your home value can be increased with solar panels. Energy-efficient homes with lower energy costs to sell, can attract many potential buyers and, therefore, an even greater marketing opportunity that solar installations bring.
5How long do solar PV installations take?
The duration of a solar PV installation can vary depending on several factors, including the size and complexity of the system and site-specific conditions. Typically, a residential solar PV installation can take a few days to a couple of weeks to complete.

The process generally involves several steps: initial site assessment and design, obtaining necessary permits and approvals, procuring equipment, installing panels and mounting hardware, electrical wiring and connection to the grid or battery storage system, and finally, testing and commissioning.

Moreover, noise levels are crucial, especially for residential installations. Modern Solar PVs are designed to operate quietly, ensuring minimal disruption.

Weather conditions, equipment availability, and unexpected site challenges can affect the timeline. It's important to work with a reputable installer who can provide a realistic timeline and keep you informed throughout the process. Proper planning and communication ensure your solar PV installation is completed efficiently and effectively.
6How do solar panels work in less sunny conditions?
Solar panels work effectively even in less sunny conditions, such as those often experienced in Scotland. Modern solar panel technology has advanced to the point where panels can generate electricity from diffuse or low-radiation solar energy. This means that even on cloudy or overcast days, solar panels can still produce a significant amount of electricity.

Statistical evidence shows that solar panels in regions with less direct sunlight can still achieve impressive energy generation levels. Homeowners in Scotland can benefit from solar panels by generating their own electricity despite the climate's challenges, reducing their reliance on grid-supplied power and lowering their energy costs.
