Renewable Energy Installers in Scotland's Central Belt

If your property is within one of Edinburgh's 50+ conservation areas, you will need planning permission for solar panel installation. We check conservation area status for every Edinburgh installation and handle the full planning application process where required. Outside conservation areas, solar panels are normally permitted development and do not require planning permission. Call 0141 230 0198 for a no-obligation conservation area check.

The entire Central Belt including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Lothians and Lanarkshire is covered by SP Energy Networks (SPEN). Standard domestic solar installations up to 3.68kW can be notified under G98 (no pre-approval required). Larger systems require G99 application which SPEN typically processes in 4–6 weeks. We handle all DNO notifications and applications as part of our installation service.

Heat pumps can be suitable for gas-connected properties as part of a wider decarbonisation plan, but the economics are more marginal than for off-gas properties. For off-gas Central Belt properties (oil or electric heating), heat pumps often make strong economic sense. Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status. Call 0141 230 0198 to discuss your specific property.

For standard solar installations outside conservation areas in the Central Belt, expect 4–6 weeks from survey to installation. Conservation area installations in Edinburgh add 6–8 weeks for planning permission. Heat pump installations typically take 6–8 weeks. We provide realistic timelines at survey stage and keep you informed throughout. Call 0141 230 0198 to discuss your project timeline.

Solar and heat pump costs depend on your property, system size, roof type and radiator requirements. We install through MCS-certified partners, and installations include DNO notification and a 10-year workmanship warranty. Call 0141 230 0198 for a detailed, no-obligation quote specific to your Central Belt property.

Yes. We cover the entire Central Belt of Scotland including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Lothians, Lanarkshire, Falkirk, Stirling and surrounding areas. We are based in Dundee but operate across all of Scotland. We install through MCS-certified partners with extensive experience of Central Belt specific challenges including conservation areas, urban planning, and SPEN DNO processes. Call 0141 230 0198 for a no-obligation survey anywhere in the Central Belt.

Yes, in most cases. A battery can be AC-coupled to an existing system with its own inverter, or connected through a replacement hybrid inverter. The right option depends on the age of your current inverter and your fuse board. A survey confirms which route is simpler and better value for your home.

G98 applies to solar systems up to 3.68kW (16A) — these can be notified to SPEN after installation with no pre-approval required. G99 applies to larger systems — these require a formal application to SPEN before installation can proceed. SPEN typically processes G99 applications in 4–6 weeks for the Central Belt. We handle all DNO notifications (G98) and applications (G99) as part of our installation service. Most domestic installations are G98. Call 0141 230 0198 to confirm which applies to your system.
