Solar, batteries and EV chargers in Dundee

Quick answer

Is Dundee a good place for solar panels?

Dundee is well placed for solar. The city sits on the sheltered north shore of the Tay and is often described as one of the sunnier parts of Scotland. Together with long summer days, that suits solar well. We survey across Dundee and Broughty Ferry before quoting.

Dundee housing and roofs

The West End and Broughty Ferry have stone villas and tenements with slate roofs, while areas such as Douglas, Fintry, Kirkton and the newer estates around the city edge have semi-detached and terraced houses with straightforward pitched roofs. Many south-facing slopes look out over the Tay, which suits panels.

Parking and EV chargers

Houses in the suburbs and newer estates usually have a driveway, which makes a home charger simple to plan. Tenement flats in the city centre and West End generally rely on public charging.

Planning, weather and network

Broughty Ferry and parts of the West End are conservation areas, so panels on street-facing slopes may need planning permission. Winds funnelling along the Tay are taken into account when the mounting is designed. Your network operator is SSEN.
