MCS-Certified Solar Panel Installers in Edinburgh Since 2018
Concerned about rising energy bills or looking for greater energy independence? Renew-Able Solutions designs and installs MCS-certified solar PV systems for homes and businesses across Edinburgh, East Lothian and wider Scotland.
Since 2018, our team has supported customers from initial survey and system design through to DNO applications, installation, certification and aftercare. As members of RECC, NAPIT and TrustMark, we provide clear proposals and property-specific recommendations without relying on generic system packages. Customers can combine solar PV with battery storage and smart EV charging, or explore all our renewable energy and heating services.
Important: Every solar PV project is different. System cost, generation, savings and payback depend on the property, roof, shading, electricity use, tariff, export arrangement and selected equipment. We provide a property-specific design and quotation so the assumptions are clear before you proceed.
Our Partners
Our Expertise
Our solar PV service covers the complete project: an initial discussion about your electricity use, a detailed property and roof survey, system design, DNO applications where required, installation, electrical testing, commissioning, MCS certification and customer handover. We can also integrate battery storage, EV charging and backup-power options where they suit the property and customer’s objectives.

Our Solar Panel Installation Services in Edinburgh
We provide MCS-certified solar PV solutions designed around homes and businesses in Edinburgh, East Lothian and wider Scotland. Our qualified electrical and solar installation team manages the work from site assessment and DNO applications through to installation, testing and aftercare, with electrical work completed to the applicable BS 7671 requirements.
Residential Solar Installation
We design domestic solar PV systems around the property’s roof, shading, electricity consumption and future plans. Our survey considers panel layout, equipment locations, cable routes and potential battery storage so the proposal reflects the actual home rather than a standard package.
Commercial Solar Solutions
We serve businesses including offices, retail premises, warehouses and industrial units. Each system is designed around site electricity demand, roof or ground space, structural and access constraints, existing electrical infrastructure and grid capacity. We provide a property-specific generation estimate and project proposal rather than promising a fixed saving.
Larger and Commercial Solar Projects
For commercial and larger properties, we design roof-mounted, ground-mounted and solar-carport systems around the site’s available space, electricity demand and grid connection. Our team can coordinate surveys, system design, planning and structural requirements, DNO applications, installation and commissioning.

What Our Customers Say About Us
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Solar PV panels generate electricity from daylight rather than heat, so they work throughout the Scottish year. Output is higher during longer, brighter summer days and lower during winter, which is accounted for in our system design and generation estimate.
The space required depends on the panel dimensions, roof shape, orientation, shading and the size of system suited to your electricity use. We carry out a property-specific survey and layout before recommending the number of panels.
Many roof-mounted domestic solar installations fall within permitted development rights, but restrictions can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, flat roofs and some other properties. We check the site circumstances and advise if planning approval may be required.
The physical installation for a typical home is often completed within one to three working days. The full project takes longer because it can include survey, design, scaffolding, equipment scheduling and any required network approval. We confirm the programme for your property before work starts.
The local Distribution Network Operator must be notified about a grid-connected solar installation. Depending on the proposed inverter capacity and site, the process may be a G98 notification or a G99 application requiring approval before installation. Renew-Able Solutions manages the appropriate application for you.
The cost depends on the system size, roof access, scaffolding, electrical work, inverter choice and whether battery storage or backup is included. We provide a property-specific proposal following a survey rather than relying on a generic headline price.
The Smart Export Guarantee allows eligible system owners to receive payment from an electricity supplier for surplus renewable electricity exported to the grid. Tariffs and eligibility terms vary by supplier. After installation, we provide the MCS documentation normally required for an SEG application.
Yes. Battery storage can often be added to an existing solar PV system, although compatibility, available space, electrical capacity and the preferred backup arrangement must be checked. Planning for a future battery during the initial design can make a later upgrade simpler.
A standard grid-connected solar inverter shuts down during a power cut to protect network engineers. Continued power requires a compatible battery and correctly designed backup or EPS arrangement. We can assess which circuits and loads could be supported at your property.
Most modern systems include an app or online portal for monitoring generation and system status. Solar PV generally requires limited routine maintenance, but periodic visual, electrical and performance checks are advisable. Equipment and workmanship warranties vary by the products and specification, and the applicable terms are confirmed in your proposal.
