MCS-certified solar PV installers specialising in larger premium installations across Murrayfield. EcoFlow PowerOcean, SigEnergy, and EV / heat pump integration on Edinburgh’s most substantial detached properties.
The monthly electricity bill dropped from £600 to £24.79, around £6,900 saved a year, after the heat pump was also re-commissioned with the correct flow temperature.
“We’ve had very attentive customer service from Sean, and are very happy with the outcome of the installation of solar panels & batteries.”

Panels and batteries carry 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, and the Smart Export Guarantee pays you for what you send back. We size the array to your own usage first, so the savings come from the design, not a subsidy.
Your Murrayfield roof sets what’s possible, and the streets prove it. Murrayfield Avenue, Murrayfield Drive, Corstorphine Road, and Ravelston Dykes hold some of Edinburgh’s most substantial detached and semi-detached homes, with Roseburn, Corstorphine, and the western edge of the New Town on the boundaries.
Properties here mostly date between 1900 and 1955, with large roof areas, generous plot dimensions, and roof orientations that commonly include south, southwest, or southeast as a principal pitch.
For solar economics, Murrayfield is one of Edinburgh’s strongest fits. Large roof areas allow 7kWp to 12kWp installations. Wide plots minimise shading. The demographic supports cash purchase, which is required since the HES solar loan closed in June 2024.
High baseline household electricity consumption, particularly with EVs or heat pumps, means significant self-consumption potential when paired with solar battery storage. Premium installations with 12kWp+ arrays and 15-20kWh battery storage range £30,000 to £50,000, and the financial logic works because the absolute savings scale with consumption.
A 7 to 12kWp array pays when its size follows your use, EVs and heat pump included. We model that load first, then fill the roof as far as the numbers justify.
We add winter heating demand and EV charging to your bills before choosing the array.
Larger homes can suit stacked EcoFlow PowerOcean or SigEnergy units, sized to the evening load.
We check timbers and covering on houses from 1900 to 1955 before committing to a panel count.
The monitoring app shows generation, battery charge and grid use in one view.
Scroll through the year: real generation from a 10.5 kWp array on a Scottish roof, winter trough included.
Panels do not care how warm it is, only how bright. So the only honest answer is a year of output.
December makes a tenth of June. We plot it, because you will notice it on your first winter bill.
From March to September the array makes more than a typical home uses. The spare either exports for income or charges a battery.
Northern summers pay the winter back: June alone can cover two months of an average home’s use.
Around 9,000 kWh a year from one Scottish roof. Not a lab figure, a metered one.

The finished array
Christine’s family home in Gartcosh, Glasgow was running up electricity bills of around £600 some months, even though it already had an air source heat pump: it had never been set up correctly, the kind of fault our heat pump servicing visits catch.
After a detailed survey of the family’s energy use, we installed a 10.5 kWp black bifacial solar PV array with 20.8 kWh of battery storage, and fully optimised the existing heat pump.
The monthly bill dropped to £24.79, an annual saving of around £6,900. Most months, 100% of the family’s daily electricity comes from solar and stored battery power. A Murrayfield install starts the same way: your usage first, then the hardware to match it.
“Excellent service before & after installation. We are also grateful for his knowledge and input into adjusting our heat pump and currently our bills are massively reduced.” Christine C, Gartcosh, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Your engineer visits your Murrayfield property, surveys all available roof aspects, maps shading throughout the year, checks DNO and grid connection requirements, and provides an itemised written quote within the week.
Solar PV installation in Murrayfield typically takes 2 to 4 days depending on system size and battery configuration. Scaffolding is up briefly, work is tidy, commissioning happens before we leave site. DNO approval is handled during installation.
SEG registration is part of every installation. Manufacturer monitoring apps give you real-time generation and consumption data. At handover we walk you through the monitoring app, so you can see everything performing as designed.
The Home Energy Scotland solar loan closed in June 2024, and ECO4 only covers low-income and vulnerable households until it closes on 31 December 2026. There is no current solar-specific grant route for typical Murrayfield owner-occupiers. The active financial benefits are:
For Murrayfield households running a heat pump, or planning to, solar and heat pump pairing is particularly compelling: solar feeds the heat pump’s electricity demand, the largest single load in most homes.
Yes. Murrayfield is one of Edinburgh’s strongest solar fits. Most properties have large south-facing or southwest-facing roof areas, generous plots that limit shading from neighbours, and the household consumption profile to absorb significant self-generated electricity. A 7kWp Murrayfield system typically generates 6,000 to 7,500 kWh per year.
Typical Murrayfield installations range from £11,000 for a smaller 5kWp solar plus 5kWh battery system through to £30,000 to £50,000 for premium 10kWp+ arrays with 15-20kWh batteries and EV charging integration. The 0% VAT until 31 March 2027 is automatically applied. Your engineer’s quote gives the exact figure for your property at the survey stage.
The Home Energy Scotland solar loan closed in June 2024, with no active grant route for most Murrayfield owner-occupiers. The main benefits are 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, saving £2,000 to £10,000 depending on system size, plus Smart Export Guarantee income. A heat pump retrofit still qualifies for its own HES grant.
Yes. Battery is standard on most Murrayfield installations. We fit FoxESS, EcoFlow PowerOcean and SigEnergy depending on the household’s specific needs. Battery typically lifts household self-consumption from 30-50% (solar only) to 60-80%.
Murrayfield households typically save £1,200 to £2,500+ per year on electricity bills with a properly sized solar plus battery system, plus £250 to £350 of SEG income on surplus exports. Payback on cash-bought systems is 8 to 12 years for typical installations, faster for premium installations paired with EVs and heat pumps.
Most Murrayfield installations take 2 to 4 days depending on system size and complexity. Larger premium installations with multiple roof aspects and substantial battery storage sit at the longer end. Scaffolding, panels, inverter, battery, DNO commissioning, and MCS certification all complete in that window.
Most Murrayfield properties are suitable. Criteria: south, southwest, southeast, or west-facing roof slope, pitch between 20 and 50 degrees, structurally sound roof, minimal shading. Murrayfield’s plot sizes mean shading from neighbours is rarely a problem. We assess at the survey stage and tell you directly if solar won’t work.
Yes. Your engineer conducts the survey personally with full roof assessment, shading analysis, DNO application, and MCS certification. Aftercare includes ongoing direct access to your installer by WhatsApp and optional annual servicing.
A few details is all it takes. We reply within one working day, with a real engineer, not a call centre.
We’ll assess your roof, explain your options, and leave you to decide.
