Local knowledge
Why is solar in Aberdeen different from the rest of the UK?
Aberdeen’s granite roofs, coastal wind and northern latitude all affect how solar panels are installed and how much they generate. Specialist fixings, marine-grade fittings and SSEN grid paperwork are part of every install here. If you are comparing installers across Scotland, the Mobile Solar Guide walks through how to compare quotes and MCS certification. Part of the Scottish Energy Efficiency network.
Granite & Sandstone Roofs
Aberdeen’s granite buildings need specialist mounting brackets — standard roof hooks designed for slate or tile do not work. Sandstone tenements and older properties may also need co-owner consent from the other flats in the close before work can start.
Coastal Wind & Salt
Marine-grade stainless steel fixings, higher wind loading calculations, and an installer who knows the Aberdeenshire coast. Conservation area or listed building? Planning consent is needed — we check this at the survey stage.
SSEN as Your DNO
Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire sit on the SSEN (Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks) distribution area. We handle the G98/G99 grid connection paperwork for you. SP Energy Networks covers central and southern Scotland — not here.
Planning & Building Standards
Most domestic solar in Scotland is permitted development. Listed buildings and conservation areas need planning consent. A building warrant is not usually required for roof-mounted panels, but a completion certificate through eBuildingStandards may be needed for the electrical work. We handle all of this.
Yield on a Scottish Roof
Aberdeen sees roughly 700–800 kWh per kWp per year (per MCS MIS 3002). That is less than southern England but more than many homeowners expect. Longer summer days compensate for lower winter sun. A no-obligation survey gives exact figures for your roof.

What MCS certification actually means — and why it matters
MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) is the UK quality mark for renewable energy installations. An MCS-certified installer has been independently audited on design competence, installation standards and consumer protection. It is not a trade association or a marketing badge — it is a technical standard with teeth.
Why it matters to you: an MCS-certified installation is required to receive Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) payments for electricity you export to the grid. Without an MCS-certified installation, you cannot claim.

See for yourself
What does a solar survey look like?
Before any quote, we survey your roof in person — checking orientation, pitch, shading, and structural suitability. The survey carries no obligation and takes about 45 minutes. No guesswork from satellite images.

Not sure?
Should I get a battery with my solar panels?
A battery adds to the cost but stores your daytime generation. See the honest comparison with real numbers for a Scottish roof.

Seventeen hours in June. Six and a half in December.
Hours of daylight in Aberdeen on the 15th of each month, from solar geometry. Daylight is not the same as generation — cloud, roof pitch and orientation decide that — but it is the honest starting point.
A battery banks the long days and buys cheap overnight power in the short ones. That is the whole case for storage in the north-east, in one graph.
Common questions
Solar in Aberdeen: Straight Answers
Do you install solar panels in Aberdeen?
Yes. We arrange solar panel and battery installations for homes in Aberdeen and the surrounding area. We install through MCS-certified partners, who survey your roof, check its direction, pitch and shading, and then fit and commission the system once you have accepted your written quote.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar panels?
Usually, yes. A battery can often be added to an existing solar system, either through a new hybrid inverter or a separate battery inverter. The survey checks your current inverter, wiring and the space available, and your written quote sets out exactly what your home in Aberdeen needs.
Is finance available?
Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status. If you would like to spread the cost, mention it when you request your quote and we will explain the options alongside your written quote. You are never obliged to use finance, and there is no obligation to go ahead after the survey.
How do I get a quote?
Call 0141 230 0198 or fill in the quote form. We talk through your home and electricity use, then our MCS-certified installation partner carries out a survey of your roof. After the survey you receive a written, no-obligation quote with the system size, specification and total price.

Common questions
Do solar panels work in Aberdeen?
Yes. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not direct sunshine, so they work well in Aberdeen even with cloudy weather. MCS guidance puts typical yields here at roughly 700 to 800 kWh per kWp each year. Long summer daylight hours in north-east Scotland also help, with panels generating well into the evening from May to July.
How much does solar cost in Aberdeen?
The cost depends on your roof, system size, whether you add a battery and the hardware chosen. Every quote is written after a home survey so it reflects your actual property. Interest-free credit up to £30,000 is available, subject to status. The best way to find out is to request a no-obligation quote.
Do I need planning permission for solar panels in Scotland?
Most rooftop solar panels on homes in Scotland are permitted development, so planning permission is not usually needed. Listed buildings, properties in conservation areas and some flats may need consent from the council. Your installation partner checks this during the survey.
