Edinburgh's Top Rated Solar Panel Installers
The Greener Roof Co are Edinburgh’s top green energy solutions company. We’re solar experts, and have already helped hundreds of homeowners reduce their electricity bills by up to 70% with bespoke Solar PV installations.
Why choose Solar Panels?
- Reduce Your Electricity Bills
- Improve Your Carbon Footprint
- Protection From Rising Bills
Standard (On-Roof) Solar Panels
These are the most common type – installed on top of your existing roof tiles using a neat mounting system. They sit slightly raised from the roof and are perfect for most homes.
Typical system size? Around 5kW – the maximum you can have without needing special permission (that’s the G98 rule, if you’re curious).
Result? You could cut your electricity bills by up to 70% depending on your usage and energy tariff.
Integrated (In-Roof) Solar Panels
Building a new home or re-roofing? These panels sit flush within the roof for a sleek, modern look. Great for new builds but can work on existing homes too.
Same power output. Same savings. Just a different style.

Solar For Business
Yes, solar works for business too – and it’s a smart investment.
We install small commercial systems from 5kW up to 50kW, helping you reduce overheads and meet sustainability goals at the same time.
Whether you’re a small warehouse, office, or retail unit – we’ll size up your space and show you what solar could save you.
Battery Storage
Store your energy. Use it when it suits you.
Batteries don’t just store your excess solar power – they let you tap into cheaper night-time rates using smart tariffs from providers like Octopus, OVO and British Gas.
That means even on cloudy days (or at night), you’re still running your home for pennies.
And here’s a bonus – you don’t need solar panels to use battery storage. Live in a flat? Can’t fit panels on your roof? You can still charge up a battery using off-peak electricity and save.

Solar Panels FAQ
The average cost of a solar panel system for a typical home in Edinburgh ranges depending on your energy needs, roof size, and system type. We’ll provide a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your property.
Most residential solar panel installations take 1–2 days to complete, depending on the system size and roof accessibility. We handle everything from scaffolding to setup and sign-off.
Yes — we offer finance options starting at 6.9% APR to help you spread the cost. Many customers find that their monthly savings on energy bills offset the repayments.
Most customers see savings of £500–£900 per year, depending on energy usage and battery storage. Adding a solar battery lets you store excess energy and reduce reliance on the grid even further.
In most cases, no. Solar panel systems typically fall under Permitted Development. We’ll let you know if your property needs any extra permissions (e.g. conservation areas or listed buildings).
Solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days, just at a lower rate. With a solar battery, you can store excess energy generated during the day and use it at night or when the sun isn’t shining.
Absolutely. We often design systems that are battery-ready, so you can start with solar panels and add a battery when it suits your budget.
The 0% VAT incentive on solar panels and battery storage is currently active, making now a great time to install. We’ll advise you on any local or national schemes you may qualify for.
Most solar panels last 25–30 years, with minimal maintenance. Inverters typically last around 10–15 years. We’ll guide you on the best options for long-term performance.
