Why choose Ecoaim for solar?
Solar PV in Scotland used to be a hard sell. Modern panels, lower kit costs and better export tariffs have changed the maths — our average Central Belt customer now sees a 7-9 year payback on a solar-only install, and 8-11 years with battery.
Our installs use JA Solar 435W all-black panels (30-year linear warranty), paired with EcoFlow PowerOcean inverters (P1-3.68kW for single-phase domestic, P1-5kW for larger homes). Roof anchors are A2 stainless, MCS-spec, with full weatherproofing to NHBC standards. Every install is signed off by an Ecoaim engineer — same QA standard whether the team on the roof is fully in-house or a vetted trade partner.
Two routes: domestic & commercial
Domestic solar →
4-12kWp systems for homes. From £6,500. Typical 6-9 year payback at 25-28p/kWh.
Commercial solar →
Roof-mount, ground-mount, carport. 30-500kWp+. PPA & lease options.

Solar questions, answered
How much do solar panels cost in Scotland? +
A typical 4kWp domestic solar system in Scotland costs £6,500-£8,500 fully installed, including inverter, scaffolding, MCS certification and grid notification. Add a 5kWh battery and the total typically lands between £10,500 and £13,500. We provide fixed-price quotes — no scope creep.
Do solar panels work in Scottish weather? +
Yes. Modern solar PV generates from daylight, not direct sun. Our Livingston-based monitoring shows average annual yields of 880-905 kWh per kWp installed across the Central Belt — within 5% of the UK average. We model your roof's specific yield before quoting.
Will I need planning permission for solar panels in Scotland? +
For most domestic properties, no — solar PV is permitted development under Scottish planning rules. Exceptions apply for listed buildings, conservation areas (common in Edinburgh New Town and Linlithgow), and some new-build developer-controlled estates. We run pre-app checks on every job.
How long does a solar install take? +
Typical domestic install is 1-2 days on site, with the full process (survey, design, DNO notification, install, commissioning, MCS certificate) running 2-4 weeks from order. Commercial installs vary by size; we publish a per-project timeline at survey.
What warranty comes with solar panels? +
Our JA Solar all-black panels carry a 30-year linear performance warranty and 25-year product warranty. EcoFlow PowerOcean inverters: 10 years standard. Ecoaim provides a 5-year workmanship warranty covering all install labour and weatherproofing.
How long is the payback on solar in Scotland? +
Payback periods in our service area typically run 7-9 years for solar-only, 8-11 years with battery. Faster paybacks come from high-export tariffs (Octopus Flux, SEG rates) and high daytime self-consumption.
