Our Renewable Energy Solutions in Scotland

Green energy usage has become a prevailing alternative to burning fossil fuels that release harmful carbon emissions into the atmosphere. Renewable energy sources are a great way to manufacture sustainable power that doesn’t contribute to air pollution and, in fact, helps diversify the energy supply. Generating your own electricity enables you to save money on energy bills plus reduce your carbon footprint.

AJ Renewables aims to help everyone take advantage of renewable energy solutions.
We provide expert advice and ensure you have a solar product that perfectly suits your energy needs.

Here are solar products and services our experienced installers in Scotland can assist you with.

Solar Panels

Solar panels work by harvesting the sun's energy and converting it into electricity for domestic or commercial use. Photovoltaic or solar PV panels are different from thermal solar panels because they use photovoltaic cells to generate electricity for use. Thermal panels absorb the sun’s warmth to supplement your heating needs by transforming sunlight energy into heat.

Solar PV panels have a wide range of applications, and by generating electricity, you have a supply that can power various appliances and meet your energy consumption patterns. Solar panels help save on energy bills as you rely on your own generated electricity without paying for power during the day. Additionally, you can reduce your carbon footprint by using less fossil fuel energy from the grid.

Complete Solar Panel Systems

A connected solar panel system is the best way to go completely off the grid and embrace the highest level of energy independence. Initially, you can choose to install solar PV panels and then upgrade to a full system at a later stage. A solar PV system has many components working together to ensure you maximise the efficiency of your solar panels.

Our trusted solar panel installer team can handle the design, supply and installation of a complete solar PV system. This includes mounting the solar panels, setting up the inverter, connecting the battery storage system and ensuring each component is up and running.

Battery Storage Systems

Solar batteries are a great addition to existing solar panels. Solar panels and a battery allow you to generate your own power and then store the excess energy for later use. You can choose to use the stored energy at night and stop relying on the grid supply during these hours. Alternatively, you can store electricity to supplement your energy usage during emergencies such as power outages.

A storage system with too little storage capacity won’t be able to keep up with your energy demands. Your selected battery storage product will need to store as much energy as you need. AJ Renewables can help you select the best battery storage system suited to your energy requirements.

EV Chargers

Electric cars run on rechargeable batteries which help reduce the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that contribute to accelerated climate change. A commercial or EV home charger installation exponentially increases your sustainability efforts.

EV charger installation in Scotland is a good investment as it helps homeowners have a cost-effective and convenient way to charge their vehicles. Additionally, commercial property owners can make a profit by offering the use of charging stations for a fee. Our EV charger installers can provide professional advice on the best charger to install on your premises that’ll help minimise your environmental impact and maximise the opportunity to save on energy costs.

FAQs About Installing Solar Panels

We’ve got some useful snapshot information to help you decide whether or not getting solar panels is right for you.
Here are the answers to some common questions.

What are the benefits of solar power in Scotland?

Installing residential or commercial solar panels in the Scotland area offers an array of benefits. Here are some of the main advantages:

There are fewer long-term financial obligations as you save on electricity costs.
You’ll contribute to a greener and more eco-friendly world by cutting back on fossil fuel reliance.
Solar power can become a source of income when you register for the “smart export guarantee” (SEG) and sell your surplus energy to the grid.
Having solar panels in Scotland can still be profitable even with the usual rainy conditions.
Solar panel installation increases the value of your property and makes it more appealing to buyers.
You don’t usually need planning permission unless your property is in a conservation area or is a listed building.

What is Scotland’s “Smart Export Guarantee”?

The SEG initiative allows you to receive payments for excess solar energy you’ve exported. If you generate excess electricity and can’t store or use it all, you can export and sell the unused energy to the national grid. The scheme allows you to make the most out of your solar PV system. Energy companies will pay you a fixed rate per kWh of electricity sold so you can supplement your income while still saving money on electricity bills.

Is it worth getting solar panels in Scotland?

As professional solar installers, we assure you that most solar panels in Scotland can still generate electricity even amidst Scotland’s general overcast conditions. Thanks to the advancements in solar technology and the implementation of photovoltaic cells, your panels will still continue to harvest any available sunlight energy, even without direct sunlight 24/7.

Can you only install solar panels on a roof?

Not necessarily. The roof is the ideal installation spot for maximum sunlight harvesting, especially considering Scotland’s overcast weather. However, if you’re worried about your roof space, you can speak to a reliable solar panel installer in Scotland for tailored advice.

Our solar panel installers will discuss the best place to fit PV panels on your property. Some panels can be ground mounted if you have the available garden space, or they can be installed on the side of your building. This all depends on where they will harvest the most energy.

Are there government grants for solar panels in Scotland?

The Scottish government provides grants in order to encourage every homeowner or property owner to start generating electricity or heating their premises with renewable sources.

The Energy Saving Trust offers applicants access to many grants and loans, including services for EV chargers, boiler upgrades and more.
With Warmer Homes offered by Home Energy Scotland, recipients can either receive full or partial payments to upgrade home heating systems or install thermal panels.
Commercial clients can apply for funding from the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme to install commercial solar PV panels. This scheme is subject to local municipal regulations, and it would be best to check with local solar panel installers like AJ Renewables if you’d be eligible.
