Solar for GP Surgeries in Scotland 2026
Healthcare solar — NHS Net Zero by 2040. Practice-level installs from £15k.
Quick answer
GP surgeries in Scotland typically install 15-50kWp 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 gp surgeries in Scotland make ideal solar candidates
- NHS Scotland Net Zero by 2040 commitment
- Practice-level grants via Scottish Health Innovation
- Vaccine fridge / steriliser steady daytime load

Three funding routes
- CapEx — outright purchase. Best IRR. 50% first-year capital allowance on commercial.

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.
