These case studies show real solar installations carried out across Scotland by our installation partner, Home Heating Services Scotland Limited. Each example includes the system specification, installation details, and expected performance for that property type.
Please note: The case studies below are illustrative. Generation figures are based on MCS MIS 3002 irradiance data for each region. Your actual generation will depend on your roof orientation, pitch, shading, and system configuration. We will publish verified generation data and real project photographs as they become available.

Semi-Detached in Fife
6kWp System
Panels
12 × AIKO Comet 500W
Inverter
Hanchu ESS Hybrid Inverter
Battery
Hanchu 5.12kWh LiFePO4
Est. Generation
~5,200 kWh/yr
A south-facing semi in Fife with a good unshaded roof. The 6kWp system uses twelve AIKO Comet 500W panels paired with a Hanchu 5.12kWh battery and hybrid inverter. At this size, the homeowner can expect to cover a significant portion of their daytime electricity use, with the battery storing surplus generation for evening use.
Illustrative figures based on MCS MIS 3002 irradiance data for this region. Your actual generation will depend on your roof, shading, and system configuration.

Detached Bungalow in Perthshire
4kWp System
Panels
8 × AIKO Comet 500W
Inverter
Hanchu ESS Hybrid Inverter
Battery
No battery initially
Est. Generation
~3,600 kWh/yr
A retired couple in a detached bungalow near Perth. With most electricity used during the day, the homeowner chose to start with panels only and add a battery later if usage patterns changed. The 4kWp system provides strong daytime generation across the longer Scottish summer days.

Granite Semi in Aberdeen
5kWp System
Panels
10 × AIKO Comet 500W
Inverter
Hanchu ESS Hybrid Inverter
Battery
Hanchu 10.24kWh LiFePO4
Est. Generation
~4,400 kWh/yr
A granite-built semi-detached in Aberdeen with a young family and an electric vehicle. The larger 10.24kWh battery was chosen to maximise self-consumption and shift surplus solar generation into overnight EV charging. The system was designed around actual energy usage data provided by the homeowner.
