Local facts that matter
DNO: SP Energy Networks
Edinburgh is in the SP Energy Networks distribution area. G98 notification (under 3.68kW) or G99 application (over 3.68kW) goes to SPEN. We handle this for you — see the full installation process.
Housing stock: tenements and consent
Edinburgh has one of the highest proportions of tenement flats in Scotland. Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, roof work on a tenement needs the consent of the owners who share the roof. If you do not own the roof outright, you need agreement from co-owners before installing solar panels. We advise on this during the survey.
Conservation areas and listed buildings
Edinburgh has many conservation areas, including the New Town, Old Town, Marchmont, Morningside and Stockbridge, and many tenements are category A or B listed. Solar panels on a listed building, or facing a road in a conservation area, need planning permission. We check this during the survey.
Local generation
Solar panels generate in daylight, not just direct sun, and pairing them with a battery lets you use more of what you generate. Roof direction, pitch and shading from neighbouring buildings matter most, so your survey sets out the expected generation for your home. Compare with our Dundee guide.
