Today's AI-generated solar insight — updated daily at 06:00 from live data
With electricity prices holding steady at approximately 24–25p/kWh and grid carbon intensity at around 140g CO₂/kWh, today is an excellent day to consider solar in Scotland. A 4kW system generating its average 9.3 kWh on a day like today displaces over 1.3kg of CO₂. Combined with 0% VAT on solar panels and batteries until 31 March 2027, the financial case for solar has never been stronger. Call 0141 230 0198 for a no-obligation survey.
