Perth is a compact riverside city with a mix of historic architecture and modern developments. Its central Scotland position gives it good solar potential. We install through MCS-certified partners across PH postcodes and surrounding areas.
Perth has a mix of Georgian and Victorian terraces in the city centre, detached homes in areas like Bridgend, Craigie, and Kinnoull, and new-build estates on the city's outskirts. Rural properties around Perthshire often have large roofs and grounds suitable for both solar and heat pump installation.
Perth's historic properties often have traditional slate roofs that suit solar mounting well. Modern estates have standard concrete tile roofs. South-facing orientations are optimal, but the relatively central location means all orientations generate reasonably well.
Perth receives approximately 855 kWh/kWp per year (PVGIS-5 ERA5). Perth's inland position in the Tay valley provides good solar exposure, with slightly less cloud cover than coastal areas to the west.
