Solar for Dental Practices in Scotland 2026
Dental practice solar — compressor + steriliser + lighting daytime loads + CQC alignment.
Quick answer
Dental practices in Scotland typically install 15-40kWp of commercial solar PV. The payback depends on how much of the output the site uses during the day, so we model it from your own data, and under the 100% Annual Investment Allowance a company can deduct the cost from its taxable profit in year one.
Why dental practices in Scotland make ideal solar candidates
- Compressor + steriliser + chair lighting steady loads
- NHS Scotland dental contract sustainability clauses
- EPS backup for digital records resilience
- Practice-level decision = quick
- EV charging for staff retention
Three funding routes
- CapEx — outright purchase. Best IRR. 50% first-year capital allowance on commercial.
- Lease — fixed monthly payments, no upfront cost.
- PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) — third-party owns the asset, you buy electricity at a fixed lower rate.
DNO process
Most commercial installs above 3.68 kW per phase (16 A — the G98 limit) require a G99 application to the local DNO. We submit, track and chase on your behalf — typical connection-offer timeline 6-12 weeks.
