Example systems in Scotland
Solar panels in Scotland could typically save a home somewhere in the range of £815 to £1943 a year on electricity, depending on system size, whether a battery is included, and how much electricity the home uses. Here are three typical examples, sized the same way our calculator sizes a system:
Smaller 3-bed home, panels only (no battery)
14 panels (~6.7kWp), no battery
- Est. annual generation
- around 5,645 kWh
- Est. annual saving
- £815–£1,074
Typical 3-bed semi, panels + battery
14 panels (~6.7kWp) + 1 x EcoFlow battery (~5.1kWh)
- Est. annual generation
- around 5,645 kWh
- Est. annual saving
- £1,216–£1,437
Larger high-usage home, bigger battery
16 panels (~7.7kWp) + 2 x EcoFlow batteries (~10.2kWh)
- Est. annual generation
- around 6,451 kWh
- Est. annual saving
- £1,819–£1,943
Assumptions: generation estimates use MCS-aligned regional yield data for Scottish postcode areas (~800-860 kWh/kWp/year). Savings are modelled by comparing the same home with and without solar and battery on smart time-of-use tariff scenarios, using cached rates for Scotland (Southern Scotland tariff region N) (checked July 2026). Monthly spend is converted to usage at a typical unit rate of around 25.8p/kWh. These are estimates only — your actual savings depend on your usage, roof, tariff and system, and are confirmed by a free survey.
