The process
How Solar Installation Works in Aberdeen
From first call to generating your own electricity — here is exactly what happens, with no surprises.
Quick answer
Getting solar panels installed in Aberdeen follows five steps. You request a quote by phone or online, our MCS-certified partner surveys your home, and you receive a written quote with the system size and total cost. If you go ahead, the system is installed, commissioned and handed over with its warranty documents.
Step 1
Week 1You request a quote
Fill in the form or call us. We ask a few questions about your property and energy use — there is no cost and no obligation.
We will confirm your postcode falls within our service area and check whether your property type is suitable before booking a survey.
Step 2
Week 1–2No-obligation home survey
Our MCS-certified installation partner surveys your home, checking roof orientation, pitch, shading, and structural suitability. About 45 minutes.
The survey also covers your consumer unit, meter position, and any planning constraints. If your roof is not suitable, we will tell you honestly rather than push a sale.
Step 3
Week 2–3Detailed written quote
Within a few days you receive a written quote covering system size, expected yield, hardware, timeline and total cost — no hidden extras.
The quote includes projected annual generation in kWh, how Smart Export Guarantee payments work, and a full hardware specification with warranty terms.
Step 4
Week 3–5Installation
If you go ahead, the install typically takes one to two days. Our partner handles the SSEN G98/G99 notification and MCS certification.
Scaffolding, electrical work, panel mounting, and bird proofing are all included. We coordinate SSEN paperwork so you do not have to chase it yourself.
Step 5
Week 5–6Handover and monitoring
The system is commissioned, your generation meter is set, and you are shown how to monitor output. Warranty documents are registered.
You will receive your MCS certificate, manufacturer warranty cards, and a handover pack. We remain available for questions after installation.
No pressure at any stage
The survey and quote carry no obligation. If you decide solar is not right for you, that is fine — there is no follow-up sales chase. We would rather you made the right decision than a quick one.
