Solar for Golf Clubs in Scotland 2026
Golf club solar — clubhouse + greenkeeping shed + irrigation pumps + buggies/charging.
Quick answer
Golf clubs in Scotland typically install 40-120kWp of commercial solar PV, with 5-8 year paybacks via CapEx. Capital allowances cover roughly 50% of cost in year-one tax relief.
Why golf clubs in Scotland make ideal solar candidates
- Clubhouse F&B + lights + golf-cart charging
- Greenkeeping shed equipment loads
- Irrigation pump daytime use
- EV golf cart fleet (rising trend)
- Membership ESG signal — increasingly material
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 17kW per phase require a G99 application to the local DNO. We submit, track and chase on your behalf — typical connection-offer timeline 6-12 weeks.
