Bathgate sits below the Bathgate Hills and most homes in the town get good open sky. Roofs here are a mix. Older stone houses near the centre have slate roofs, while the newer homes at Wester Inch and the estates around Boghall have concrete tiles. Both can take panels. What matters most is which way your roof faces and what shades it.
We look at your roof, your fuse box and how your home uses power before we design anything. Then we size the panels and inverter to fit, with a battery if it makes sense for you. Everything is fitted neatly from the roof to the fuse box and tested before we hand it over. A typical 4kW system in Bathgate costs about £5,000 to £8,000. With a home battery, most land between £8,000 and £12,000. You get the design and one fixed price in writing before anything is ordered.

Your questions, answered
Do I need planning permission for solar panels in Bathgate?
Most homes do not need it for panels on the roof. Listed buildings and conservation areas are different. If that applies to you, check with West Lothian Council first.
Will solar panels work on an east or west facing roof?
Yes. South is best, but east and west roofs still make good power, spread across the morning or the evening. We tell you honestly what your roof will give.
Do I need a battery with my panels?
Not always. Without one, spare power goes back to the grid. A battery keeps it for your evening. We can price both so you can choose.
