Yes — modern solar PV panels generate electricity from daylight, not direct sunshine, so they work effectively throughout Scotland. The Scottish Borders receives around 1,200–1,400 sunshine hours per year, which is sufficient for excellent solar generation. We have installed hundreds of systems across the region and can show you real generation data from local installations.

A typical domestic solar system for a 3–5 bedroom home costs between £5,000 and £9,000 depending on system size and specification. Combined solar and battery packages start from £9,000. We provide free, itemised quotes with no hidden costs.

Home Energy Scotland offers interest-free loans and cashback grants for solar PV installations. You must use an MCS-certified installer — which KDC Electrical is — to qualify. We can guide you through the application process as part of our service.

Most domestic solar installations are completed in one to two days. Larger agricultural or commercial systems may take two to three days. We will give you a firm programme before we start.

Yes. We specialise in retrofitting battery storage to existing solar PV installations regardless of age or inverter type. Battery storage increases your solar self-consumption from around 30% to over 80%, significantly improving your return on the original investment.

Agricultural solar installation is one of our specialisms. Farms typically have large south-facing roofs on barns and outbuildings that are ideal for solar, and agricultural electricity consumption is often high, meaning the payback period is shorter than for domestic installations.
