Solar PV and battery systems for Scottish homes and organisations

Solar power designed around your roof and demand.

Want to buy less electricity? A free FLO survey checks your roof and when you use power to see whether solar panels, a battery or both may work for your building.

What do you want solar power to do for your building?

Start with the result you need. FLO will establish the suitable system size during the assessment.

Designed from evidence

The right system is the one your building can use well.

Roof area tells only part of the story. FLO considers shade, orientation, roof condition, safe access, half-hourly or billed electricity use, future EV or heat-pump demand, grid limits and the case for a battery before finalising the design.

A roof-specific panel layout

Orientation, shade, obstructions, condition and safe access are checked before the array is fixed.

A demand-led energy model

Generation, on-site use and export assumptions are connected to the building’s actual electricity pattern.

A complete electrical scope

Inverter, battery, protection, cable routes, distribution work, monitoring and grid requirements stay visible.

FLO project photography

A system should fit the roof, the building and the way power is used.

FLO’s own installation photography shows the range of roofs, access arrangements and on-site decisions behind a finished solar system.

Plan safe access before installation

Scaffold, roof condition, lifting and cable routes belong in the project scope from the start.

Plan what happens after sunset

A battery or time-of-use tariff can help, but only when it matches surplus generation and demand.

Your FLO assessment and quote

What will FLO include in your solar and battery assessment and quote?

FLO assesses the property first, explains what we recommend and puts the proposed system, installation work, price, exclusions and aftercare in writing.

01

What FLO found on your roof

The assessment records usable roof area, direction, shade, condition, access and any structural checks still needed.

02

How much electricity it could produce

Your quote shows the generation estimate, how much you may use on site, likely export and the electricity data behind it.

03

Everything included in the installation

Panels, inverter, battery if suitable, mounting, scaffold, cable routes, distribution-board work and network requirements are listed.

04

Monitoring, certification and handover

FLO explains the monitoring, commissioning, grid paperwork, certificates, warranties and ongoing support.

Common questions

Clear answers before you enquire.

Is there enough sun in Scotland?+

Solar PV generates from daylight, not heat. Annual yield varies by location, roof and shade, so a site-specific forecast is more useful than a national average.

Do I need a battery with solar panels?+

No. A battery is most useful where it can capture regular surplus, shift use to cheaper periods or support a defined resilience need.

Can solar power a heat pump?+

Solar can offset part of a heat pump's annual electricity demand, especially shoulder-season and hot-water loads, but winter heat demand and solar output do not fully coincide.
