High energy bills are a growing concern for homeowners in Scotland and the greater UK.
Electricity bills continue to inflate as the demand for grid supply increases.
One of the best ways to combat this is to call up your local solar panel installers and arrange a solar installation.
By opting to go with renewable energy to power your home, you'll benefit from reduced energy costs and contribute toward a more sustainable future.
A solar energy system is a great long-term investment, both in your home and the environment.
It doesn’t release harmful pollutants into the atmosphere and relies on a replenishable energy source — sunlight.
At AJ Renewables, we’re committed to helping customers achieve energy independence by harnessing the power of the sun.
We offer various sustainable products and services to help you access affordable, sustainable energy.
Here are some solar technology installations our solar installers can take care of.
Choosing to install solar panels is the first step toward complete energy independence and a great way to kickstart your clean energy journey.
With solar panels, you can generate your own electricity to power your home during the day. With the help of a solar battery, you can store this energy to use during peak tariff hours when electricity costs are at their highest.
At AJ Renewables, we are equipped to handle all solar panel installation projects in Edinburgh. A solar panel installation usually takes one to three days to complete, based on the amount of panels required and the complexity of the job.
We source panels from leading suppliers, such as JA Solar and Canadian Solar, and provide high-quality solar installation services. Our solar panel fitters will advise you on the appropriate amount of solar panels needed to power your home and meet your average energy consumption patterns.

A solar battery storage system is the next level to embracing energy independence. If you already have solar panels installed, the addition of battery storage enables you to generate your own power during the day and store the surplus energy in the battery for later use. This way, you no longer have to rely on grid supply.
If your household doesn’t use much electricity at night, you can store power in the batteries. Battery storage helps prepare for potential power outages — so you’re never without a backup power source. Alternatively, instead of adding a battery to your solar panels, you have the option of selling excess energy to the grid to earn some extra cash. Ultimately, whether or not you get a solar battery installed depends on your energy usage patterns.
On the fence about adding a battery to your existing solar panel system? Speak to our professional solar equipment suppliers to confirm if adding a battery is the right move.
Setting up complete solar photovoltaic systems is the highest form of energy independence. A complete solar PV system can produce energy as well as store it. You can run your house solely on renewable power by using PV systems. They comprise a solar panel system paired with battery storage and are able to directly convert sunlight into electricity. In contrast to thermal solar systems that generate heat and are typically only used for hot water and heating.
We oversee the design process and successful solar panel installation. We also handle the system setup, battery storage connection and the installation of all other components. Once the installation is complete, you can easily switch from solar panel power during the day to using the stored extra energy in the evening. We supply all the relevant equipment, including:
High-quality solar panels
The best battery product to suit your home’s specific energy needs
An inverter to convert the current for domestic use
A utility meter to measure electricity consumption
An electric grid to keep you connected to the national grid
A charge controller to ensure your batteries don’t overcharge

Having to seek out out-of-the-way charging stations to charge your car can be tedious. So why not consider installing a home car charger? We handle the equipment supply, installation and set-up so your electric vehicle is ready to charge right in your driveway or garage.
Contrary to popular belief, charging your car at home won’t necessarily rack up your electricity bills. Upon installation, you can request that we set up the system to only charge during off-peak hours. This can help reduce the amount spent on electricity. An even better solution is to connect your electric vehicle charger to your solar system! This will enable you to enjoy the benefits of not only a home but also a vehicle run on renewable energy.

Plus, we can install roof solar panels on tilted or flat roofs while still maximising your electricity generation.

Yes. While solar PV panels are considered low-maintenance, they do still require regular upkeep, much like any other household equipment.
You should arrange a maintenance schedule with your solar panel installers. Regular checks ensure that your solar panels and surrounding roof space is clean, which contributes to more energy generation, keeping your energy costs low. Maintenance also prevents the possibility of system failure by catching any potential issue early on, thus protecting your investment for years to come.
