Polmont planning & DNO notes

Most domestic solar in Polmont falls under permitted development per Scottish planning rules. Falkirk flags listed-building or conservation-area constraints case-by-case — we run pre-app checks on every job. Your distribution network operator is SP Energy Networks; we handle the G98 (small) or G99 (larger) notification on your behalf.

Typical Polmont solar yields

Modelled at 895 kWh per kWp installed per year (PVGIS, Scotland Central Belt). A 4kWp install averages 3,580 kWh/year, with peak generation May–August. Pair with a battery and you can shift 50–70% of that to evening use, or sell at peak via Octopus Flux.
