Solar panels, batteries & heat pumps in Perth

What housing types are common in Perth?

Perth has a mix of historic sandstone buildings in the city centre, Victorian terraces in areas like Kinnoull and Bridgend, and modern developments in Scone, Luncarty and the surrounding area. The city is known as the Gateway to the Highlands, and many surrounding rural properties are off the gas grid, making heat pumps and solar particularly relevant.

Are roofs in Perth suitable for solar panels?

Perth properties typically have slate or tile roofs. The city's position on the River Tay means many properties have open aspects. Rural properties around Perth may have more varied roof types. A survey will assess your roof orientation, shading, and structural condition, as well as any planning considerations for listed buildings in the conservation area.

How much electricity do solar panels generate in Perth?

Perth gets around 1,350 hours of sunshine per year. Its central Scottish position means daylight hours are similar to Stirling and Dundee. Summer generation is strong, with winter generation lower but still useful. The relatively cool climate can be beneficial for solar panel efficiency.

Is battery storage useful for homes in Perth?

Battery storage is valuable for Perth homeowners, especially in rural areas where properties may rely on oil or LPG. A battery lets you store solar electricity for evening use or to power a heat pump. The survey and quote will help you decide on the right battery capacity for your needs.
