Who we are
Solar Export Rates Scotland is a trading name of Scot Energy Efficiency Ltd, company number 17408629, registered office 66 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NA. We provide advice and arrange surveys for solar panels and battery storage across Scotland. We do not carry out installations ourselves; we install through MCS-certified partners who survey, design, fit and certify each system.
What we do
We help Scottish households, businesses and farms understand what solar panels could generate and earn from exports, then arrange a no-obligation survey with one of our installation partners. Our export income calculator gives an estimate using PVGIS yield data for your postcode area. A survey then gives figures for your own roof.
Areas we cover
We cover all of Scotland, including Edinburgh and the Lothians, Glasgow and the Clyde, Stirling and Falkirk, Fife, Dundee and Angus, Perth and Kinross, Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, Inverness and the Highlands, Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway, the Scottish Borders and the islands. See our area guides for local yield, network operator and planning notes.
