Solar PV & Battery Storage
Installed Across Aberdeenshire
Cut your electricity bill, earn export income through the Smart Export Guarantee, and get a 25 year asset on your roof. Free survey, fixed price quote, MCS registered installation.
What we install
Four ways to cut your bills with solar
From a single residential array to a full commercial package, every installation is MCS registered and NICEIC certified to BS 7671. Free survey and fixed price quote across Aberdeen, Peterhead, Ellon, Fraserburgh, and the wider Aberdeenshire region.
Solar PV systems
3kWp to 6kWp residential, up to 50kWp commercial
Roof mounted panels from Tier 1 manufacturers paired with SolarEdge, GivEnergy, or Sungrow inverters. South facing, south east, south west, and split orientation arrays all routine for our team. Full structural assessment and shading analysis at the survey stage.
- MCS registered for Smart Export Guarantee
- 25 year panel warranty
- Real time generation monitoring app
- Aberdeenshire granite property experience
Battery storage
5kWh to 30kWh: Tesla, GivEnergy, SolarEdge
Standalone battery retrofits to existing solar systems and combined solar plus battery installations from scratch. Time of use tariff integration with Octopus Agile, Octopus Flux, and other smart tariffs configured at commissioning.
- Self consumption rises from 30% to 80% or more
- 10 year battery warranty
- Smart tariff configuration included
- Backup power option (where supported)
Solar + EV charging
Charge your car from your roof
Smart EV charger integration with solar PV. Surplus solar electricity diverts to the car rather than exporting at the lower SEG rate. We install and configure myenergi Zappi, Ohme, GivEnergy, and Tesla Wall Connector chargers as part of a single coordinated project.
- OZEV grant up to £350 applied automatically
- Solar divert charging built in
- Combined consumer unit work where needed
- Single contractor, single installation visit
Commercial & agricultural
15kWp to 100kWp business installations
Workshops, farm buildings, retail premises, hospitality, and offices across Aberdeenshire. Three phase distribution, capital allowances guidance under the Full Expensing regime, and grid connection through SSEN handled as part of the project.
- Full Expensing tax relief (100% deduction)
- G99 grid notification handled
- Power Purchase Agreement guidance
- Agricultural property experience
The Aberdeenshire question
Yes, solar works in Scotland.
Aberdeen receives around 1,400 peak sun hours per year, about 80% of London's irradiance. Germany has built one of the world's biggest solar markets on comparable figures. Cooler temperatures actually improve panel efficiency, partially offsetting the lower angle.
Three financial drivers stack up in 2026:
- Direct bill savings: save 24p per kWh on every solar unit consumed at home
- SEG export income: 5p to 15p per kWh from major suppliers
- 0% VAT: on residential solar and battery until at least March 2027

Frequently asked questions
The questions every homeowner asks
Will solar panels actually work in Scotland?
Yes. Aberdeen receives approximately 1,400 peak sun hours per year, enough to make solar financially worthwhile when combined with current electricity prices, the Smart Export Guarantee, and 0% VAT. Read our full Scotland solar guide.
How much do solar panels cost in 2026?
A typical 4kWp residential installation costs £5,500 to £8,000 fully installed. Adding a 10kWh battery brings the combined cost to £10,000 to £12,000. All prices include 0% VAT and full certification. Full pricing breakdown.
Should I add battery storage?
Battery storage typically improves the financial return by raising self consumption from around 30% to 60% or more. See our battery cost benefit analysis.
What is the Smart Export Guarantee and how much can I earn?
The SEG pays you for surplus solar electricity exported to the grid. Rates from major Scottish suppliers in 2026 range from approximately 5p to 15p per kWh. Eligibility requires MCS registration, which Faithful Spark handles at completion. Read the SEG guide.
Which battery brand should I choose?
Tesla Powerwall, GivEnergy, and SolarEdge are the three main brands we install. Each suits different priorities. Read the full comparison.
Are there grants available?
The Home Energy Scotland Solar PV grant closed in June 2024. Current support is 0% VAT on installation (automatic) and SEG income on exported electricity. Read about Scottish solar grants in 2026.
How long does the full project take?
4 to 8 weeks from initial enquiry to commissioning. The installation itself is 1 to 2 days for residential solar. Full installation timeline.
