Often, yes. Many Borders properties have barns, garages or steadings with large south-facing roofs that suit panels better than the house. Your partner checks the structure, cable route to the house and any planning needs, and includes the outbuilding option in your written, no-obligation quote.
The Borders mixes mill towns such as Galashiels and Hawick, market towns like Kelso and Jedburgh, and scattered farms and cottages. Many older homes are built from local stone with slate roofs, and several town centres are conservation areas.
Rural homes are often off the gas grid, heating with oil, LPG or solid fuel. SP Energy Networks runs the grid across the Borders, and longer rural lines can affect what size of system connects without prior approval.
For Borders households, monthly payments can make a larger outbuilding system or battery more manageable. Interest-free credit available, subject to status, through authorised partners. The figures and term are set out in writing before you agree to anything.

SP Energy Networks operates the local electricity network across the Scottish Borders. Your installer partner sends the G98 or G99 notification to SP Energy Networks for you, and tells you if a larger system needs approval before it can be switched on.
Yes, in most cases. A battery can usually be added to an existing solar system using an AC-coupled or hybrid setup. An MCS-certified installer partner checks your inverter, wiring and space, then recommends a battery size that suits your usage, with a written, no-obligation quote.
