How a Highland Solar Install Works
A Highland solar installation takes 2 to 6 weeks from enquiry to commissioning. The process is: enquiry, adviser call, no-obligation property survey, system design and quote, SSEN grid notification, then installation and handover. We manage the entire process and coordinate with our MCS-certified installer partners.

1. Tell Us About Your Property
Share your postcode, property type, and current heating fuel. Takes 2 minutes through our online form. No personal details needed at this stage — just your property information.
2. Friendly Adviser Call
Our team calls to discuss your situation, answer questions, and confirm whether solar, heat pump, or a combined system is the right fit for your Highland property.
3. No-Obligation Home Survey
An MCS-certified installer from our partner network visits your property — with no travel charge anywhere in IV, KW, PH, HS, or ZE postcodes. They assess your roof, electrical setup, and energy usage.
4. System Design & Quote
Your installer partner designs a system tailored to your property and provides a written quote. This includes panel placement, battery sizing (if needed), and a generation estimate based on your location.
5. SSEN DNO Notification
Most Highland single-phase homes support up to 4kW under SSEN G98 fast-track approval. Larger systems require a G99 application. Your installer partner handles all grid paperwork as standard.
6. Installation & Handover
Installation typically takes 1–2 days for solar PV. Our partners handle all mounting, wiring, commissioning, and SEG registration. You receive full MCS documentation on completion.
The full process from enquiry to installation is typically 2–6 weeks, depending on survey availability, SSEN approval times, and weather conditions in remote areas.
