Quality assured
Clear standards for safe, reliable installations.
High-performance solar PV and battery storage systems designed for Scottish homes and businesses.
Every roof, cable route and fixing is planned, installed and finished to a high standard — with care, precision and pride.
A solar system should add value to your home — never detract from it.
MCS is the recognised UK quality standard for small-scale renewable energy installations. It helps demonstrate that your solar system has been designed, installed and commissioned to defined industry standards.
Clear standards for safe, reliable installations.
Recognised installer and consumer-protection processes.
An MCS certificate is commonly required for SEG payments.
From design to installation, commissioning and handover.
Every installation partner we appoint must hold the relevant industry accreditations and meet our standards for technical competence, workmanship, customer care and aftercare. We work to MCS requirements from design through installation and commissioning. Subject to the applicable MCS requirements being met, your system will be MCS vetted and certified.
We favour experienced local installers and review relevant accreditations, technical capability, workmanship standards, communication and the care they show for customers' homes.
Completed work is reviewed against our own quality checklist, covering installation finish, system commissioning, documentation and the overall standard of the handover.
After the final installation we ask for a full customer feedback survey. We use that feedback to monitor partner performance and maintain the standard we expect from every Borders Solar project.
We keep the range focused, then design the right combination of solar, battery storage and EV charging around your home, your energy use and the way you want to live.
There is no one-size-fits-all system. We look at your roof, electricity consumption, future plans and budget, then bring together carefully selected technology that works as one joined-up home energy system.
Premium whole-home storage for larger solar arrays, EVs, heat pumps and higher electricity use.
Compact 5 kWh-class storage built for everyday solar, smart tariffs and flexible home energy use.
Smart EV charging that coordinates solar, battery storage, dynamic tariffs and grid power.
High-efficiency solar panels selected to suit your roof, energy use and the look of your home.
Quality rails, hooks and fixings planned around your roof structure for a neat, secure installation.
See, control and optimise how your solar, battery and EV charging work together from one smart ecosystem.
We make going solar easy — clear, professional and built around your home from the first conversation to long after installation.
Address, electricity use, roof, EVs and what you want the system to achieve.
We review your property and put together a tailored system with indicative performance.
Final checks, detailed design, installation, testing and commissioning.
We help configure smart settings and remain available after the system is live.
