MCS-Approved EV Charger & Solar Panel Installation in Perth

Perth is known as Scotland’s ancient capital, but this does not mean that it plans to stay stuck in the Dark Ages. Perth and Kinross Council (the Council) has a 2045 net zero target that includes deploying energy-efficient systems that rely on renewable energy sources. 

You can reduce reliance on outdated and harmful methods of generating electricity by releasing harmful emissions and opt for a greener alternative, such as solar power. With AJ Renewables, you can move toward a more sustainable future that benefits the greater good by investing in innovative solar power solutions. 

We offer a free design service and savings calculations during the initial consultation appointment. These services ensure you have all the information you need before making a decision. Homeowners and businesses alike can rely on our team to supply and fit products required for solar installation in Perth. 

Here are the core residential and commercial solar services we provide to Perth citizens.

Solar Panels

Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels harvest energy from the sun. The PV modules in the panels work to convert the solar energy into electricity. The more panels you install, the more power your system can generate. 

Solar panel installation in Perth is a cost-effective and eco-friendly way to start producing your own clean energy. You can reduce your electricity bills and start your journey to energy independence with AJ Renewables. We can make the transition from using fossil fuels that release harmful emissions to generating electricity from solar power seamless. 

Complete Solar PV Systems

Solar power systems are the most efficient way to stop relying on the grid supply to power your home or company. A complete solar power system comprises specific main components: 

  • Solar panels — You’ll need enough solar panels installed to keep up with your energy consumption demands.

  • An inverter — The inverter converts the DC energy from the solar panel system into usable AC electricity to power appliances, lights and various equipment on your premises. Your inverter also ensures the power stored in your battery is in the correct form. 

  • Battery storage — Batteries store excess energy generated during the day for use in the evenings or in case of unexpected power outages. 

Comprehensive solar PV systems are also a good investment as you can sell excess electricity generated and stored in your battery to the national grid by registering for the Smart Export Guarantee. This is an ideal scenario for residential solar power generators that have systems harvesting more than enough power to keep their equipment running. 

Battery Storage Systems

Perth plans to couple residential and commercial energy generation with battery storage to reduce the reliance on the grid further. 

Battery storage is a great way to expand energy independence and exponentially reduce your energy costs by using solar system panels to charge the battery for later use. However, you need to ensure the capacity of your battery matches your energy consumption and generation needs.

A battery that’s too small won’t be able to store enough energy to power your appliances or gadgets when needed. A battery that’s too large won’t be able to get fully charged due to your solar PV system not generating enough electricity for use and storage.

We can upgrade existing systems with batteries or add them with new installations to create a complete solar PV system. Speak to one of our solar battery experts to determine which product will best suit your needs. 

Tesla

Electric Car Chargers

Perth has a high dependence on private vehicles to get around, contributing to high energy usage and residual emissions. Driving an electric vehicle is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to the region's net zero transition. 

You can further reduce your environmental impact by installing EV chargers in your home. You can start charging your vehicle from the comfort of your driveway or garage. You’ll receive bonus points if you have your local EV charger installers connect the charging point to an existing renewable energy source. 

Businesses can also benefit from EV charger installation to Perth premises by charging electric vehicle users to use the stations. 

Whether you need local EV home charger installers in Perth or commercial installers, AJ Renewables has the expertise to handle all types of charging point installations.

The Benefits of Solar Panel Installation in Perth, Scotland

There are various benefits of solar panel installation for Perth residents. You can expect the following advantages with our solar products.

Increases Long-term Savings

Solar panel installation allows you to increase your energy savings and allows you to save money on your electricity bill. Solar installations also eventually pay for themselves once they supplement your electricity usage and bring in money.

Potential To Earn Money

You can potentially earn extra money with solar panels if your system produces more electricity than you consume. You can sell the excess to the national grid via the Smart Export Guarantee.

Grants & Schemes Available

There are several government-funded initiatives and grants available to residents and businesses in Scotland. These grants aim to encourage solar panel installation and the uptake of other sustainable energy sources and energy efficiency upgrades.

Increase Your Property’s Resale Value

Adding residential solar panels to Perth properties increases the property’s resale value as more buyers are looking to reduce energy costs as well as their impact on the environment. Solar panels make your property more desirable.

Environmentally Friendly

Installing solar panels in Perth also benefits the overall environment as you contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions by relying less on the national supply and more on your own clean energy source.

Optimal Weather Conditions

Perth has the optimal climate for maximum solar panel production. However, solar panels are manufactured to harvest sunlight in any weather conditions, so they’ll be a good investment for any region in Scotland.

Emergency Backup Power

Solar panels allow for backup power (if you have a battery) in the event of a power outage. Emergency power can be handy during extreme weather conditions or storms like Storm Gerrit in 2023.

Access Free Sustainable Power

After the initial installation cost, you won’t have to pay any electricity costs for the clean and sustainable power your solar panels produce. You’ll now have access to a sustainable source of power indefinitely.

FAQs About Solar Power in Perth

Not completely set on installing solar panels in your Perth residence or business? Let’s provide some extra motivation in the form of answering some commonly asked questions.

Is solar power a wise investment in Perth?

Perth offers significant potential for solar energy production throughout the year. You can take steps to maximise your solar production efforts during winter and autumn. You can: 

  • Install your solar panels at a tilt angle of 48 degrees facing south to ensure the maximum efficiency of your solar energy production

  • Combat snow by installing anti-soiling coatings

  • Ensure optimal performance by implementing routine maintenance procedures 

Various other factors can affect energy production, but there are also many ways to optimise your installation to ensure you yield the best results. Speak to our team of professional solar panel installers in Perth about the best ways to optimise your solar power setup. 

How does the Smart Export Guarantee work?

The scheme is for small-scale generators, such as residential or smaller businesses, who generate their own electricity and want to export it back to the grid for a price. To become a small-scale generator, you’ll need to meet certain requirements:

  • Your renewable energy system should be supplied and installed by certified Perth installers — such as AJ Renewables. 

  • You’ll need a smart metre or export metre that takes half-hour readings. 

  • You’d have to have one of the following low-carbon technologies installed: 

    • Solar photovoltaic (solar PV) 

    • Wind 

    • Hydro 

    • Anaerobic digestion (AD) 

    • Micro combined heat and power (micro-CHP) 

If you meet the criteria, you’ll need to apply to a SEG licensee or energy provider and find the best SEG tariff that matches your requirements. 

Will solar power equipment work in winter?

Solar panels work no matter the weather conditions. Although solar panels produce less energy in winter than in summer, they should still help you save money and supplement your energy needs. Thanks to the advancement in solar technology, your equipment is designed to harvest the maximum amount of sunlight even without direct exposure. 

Can solar PV systems only create electricity?

A photovoltaic or solar PV system, by definition, harvests photons to create electricity. However, there have been some interesting developments on the solar panel front with the introduction of hybrid solar panels. Hybrid solar panel systems or thermal solar PV panels can harvest both heat and solar energy from the sun. 

The heat collected can be used to heat your water while you also generate free electricity for your household or company to use. The advancements in solar energy are on the right track to save us money overall. 

Are my solar power systems safe on my roof?

Yes! Especially in Perth, where there aren’t usually extreme weather conditions. Most solar panels only receive damage due to extreme weather conditions like heavy snow, strong winds and aggressive hail storms. 

However, when installing solar panels, you can ask the installers to add protective measures if you’re worried about your panels succumbing to damage or want to protect them from dirt, debris and bird droppings. Another great way to ensure the longevity of your solar panels is to conduct regular maintenance and keep the panels clean, wires out of the way and untangled. 

How much roof space do I need for solar panels?

Typically, a 1 kW solar panel system requires around 100 square feet of roof space

However, the amount of roof space needed depends on how big your solar panel array will be — the more panels, the more free energy it’ll generate. If you have a large household or business, you’ll need sufficient space to install solar panels to power your operations. 

Alternatively, our solar panel installers in Perth can also install solar panels that are ground-mounted in the garden or wherever there is efficient sunlight and space. Speak to our Perth solar power installers to discuss the perfect solar panel set-up for your premises.
