Frequently asked questions

Common questions from East Lothian homeowners and businesses.

Can I add a battery to existing solar panels?
Yes. A battery can be retrofitted to most existing solar PV systems in East Lothian, storing surplus daytime generation for evening use and reducing reliance on the grid. We assess compatibility as part of your quote.
Is finance available?
Finance available, subject to status. Ask our team about spread-cost options when you request your quote and we will talk you through what is available for your installation.
How long does installation take?
A typical residential solar install in East Lothian takes one to two days on site, with battery storage adding half a day. Larger commercial or farm systems may take longer depending on roof and ground-mount scope.
Do I need planning permission in East Lothian?
Solar on most homes is permitted development in Scotland; listed buildings and conservation areas need consent — check with East Lothian Council. Most domestic roof-mounted solar falls under permitted development, provided panels do not project significantly beyond the roofline.
