Typical Bo'ness solar yields
Modelled at 895 kWh per kWp installed per year (PVGIS, Scotland Central Belt) for an unshaded south-facing roof. A 4kWp install averages 3,580 kWh/year, with peak generation May–August; your MCS quote works out your own roof from its pitch, orientation and shading. Pair it with a battery to use more of it in the evening, or sell at peak via Octopus Flux; how much depends on your usage and the battery size.
