What makes the whole job feel more straightforward
Survey-led system sizing
We size the setup around your real electricity use, not guesswork. That gives you a more useful picture of what the system can do.
Electrical integration done properly
We connect solar PV into your existing electrics with protection and isolation in place. Your installation is then tested and verified during commissioning.
Easy planning for future upgrades
We can discuss battery storage and EV charging at the same stage. That helps you plan one sensible energy setup instead of piecing it together later.
A solar setup that starts with the right questions
We start solar panel installation with a proper look at how you use electricity now, because that shapes what your system needs to do day after day. Our team at Falconers electrical contractor Ltd talks through your property, your energy use, and what you want from the system, then arranges a site survey to check roof orientation, shading, and overall condition. That matters more than people think, because a tidy roofline is one thing, but a roof that can generate well through the year is what really counts. We size the solar PV system to match your usage as closely as possible, then explain expected generation in plain terms so you can see how it may reduce your reliance on grid electricity. You will also get a clear view of the main parts involved, from the panels themselves to the inverter, mounting system, isolators, and cabling, with battery storage discussed as an optional extra where it suits your plans. For homes and workplaces across Elgin, Aberdeen, Inverness, Peterhead, Lossiemouth, and Buckie, we keep the process grounded, practical, and easy to follow.
How the installation fits into your electrics
Your system has to work safely with the electrics you already have, and that is where careful installation makes all the difference. Our team at Falconers electrical contractor Ltd connects the PV system into your consumer unit or distribution board, adds the right protection devices, and routes cabling with isolation and access in mind. We can also explain the difference between a standard string inverter and microinverters, especially if shading or roof layout could affect performance. Roof type, scaffold access, and any planning or permission points are covered before work begins, so you know what to prepare for and how long the job is likely to take. Once installed, we carry out electrical testing and verification as part of commissioning, and we can talk through EV chargers or other renewable energy work if you want to make better use of the electricity you generate.
Frequently asked questions
How do you know if your roof is suitable for solar panel installation?
We check the direction your roof faces, how much shading it gets, and the condition of the roof covering before installation is planned. Access also matters, because some properties need scaffolding or more complex cable routes to complete the job safely.
What is the difference between a string inverter and microinverters?
A string inverter connects a group of panels to one central unit and is often a good fit for simple roof layouts. Microinverters sit at panel level and can be helpful where shading or roof angles vary, because each panel can perform more independently.
Can solar panels work with battery storage or an EV charger?
Yes, many customers plan these together so more of the electricity generated on site can be used at home or at work. Battery storage is usually an optional add-on, and an EV charger can be a sensible next step if you want to use more of your own power rather than importing it from the grid.
