If you are asking yourself if Solar Panels are worth it in Scotland, The simple answer is a resounding yes! And more and more people are realising this. In fact in 2021 alone a quarter of all new solar installations across the UK were in Scotland.

Solar power has been around for decades, but only recently has it become affordable enough to be used on a large scale or at home. In fact, there are now millions of homes that use solar panels in Scotland and across the rest of the UK and this generates over £20 billion worth of electricity every year!

But is Scotland Sunny Enough for Solar Panels?
