In detail
Pay monthly solar lets you spread the cost of a solar PV and battery installation for your Scottish home. This page explains how it works, what you own, and how monthly payments fit in.
What does pay monthly solar mean?
Pay monthly solar means you arrange a paid installation of a solar PV and battery system for your home and spread the cost over time using interest-free credit, rather than paying the full balance upfront. You are buying a system — it is not a subscription, a lease or a rent-a-roof scheme. When the installation is completed and the balance is settled in line with your agreement, you own the panels, the battery and all the associated equipment fitted to your property. It is your system, on your roof, generating and storing electricity for your home.
How does the finance work?
Interest-free credit up to £30,000 is available, subject to status and affordability. Terms and conditions apply. This means you do not pay interest on the amount you borrow — the total amount payable is the cost of the system, spread over an agreed period. We do not quote interest rates or monthly figures online because those depend on the system quoted and your individual circumstances. Your quote sets out the key information: the system being quoted, how the monthly payments would be structured, and the total amount payable. You can compare it against paying the balance in full and choose the option that suits you.
What do I own?
You own the solar panels, the battery, the inverter and all the associated equipment fitted to your property. Because you own the system, the electricity it generates and stores is yours to use in your home. You remain responsible for the system once it is installed, and the handover includes information on how it works and how to monitor generation. This is a paid installation of a system that belongs to you and stays with your home.
Is there any obligation?
No. The survey and quote are entirely no-obligation. You receive a written quote for a paid solar PV and battery installation, showing how monthly payments could work, and you decide whether to proceed. There is no pressure at any stage — if the quote is not right for you, you simply say no. There is no obligation to use finance either. You can pay the balance in full, or you can spread the cost — the choice is yours.
Who installs the system?
We arrange the survey and quote, and the physical installation is carried out by our MCS-certified partner. We install through MCS-certified partners — the Microgeneration Certification Scheme is the recognised UK quality assurance standard for small-scale renewable installations. This is a standard we do not compromise on. The system is commissioned and handed over to you with information on how it works.
