Renewable energy solutions for the Edinburgh area

Edinburgh – the so-called ‘Athens of the North’ – may not be as sunny as its counterpart in Greece, but the city still enjoys sufficient sunshine to make solar panels a worthwhile investment. In fact, the Scottish capital’s 1450 hours of sunshine each year – which puts it on a par with some southern British cities, such as Bristol - can help homeowners to generate and store renewable energy in solar batteries, offsetting the effects of cloudier weather when electricity production is lower.

From the charismatic terraced cottages of Stockbridge to the grand villas of the New Town, Edinburgh’s diverse houses are ideal for solar panel installation. At GreenFox Energy, we carefully assess each property and its roof design to ensure that our solar panels are correctly positioned, enhancing their effectiveness, and maximising the volume of natural light they capture.

Like all cities, Edinburgh is striving to improve the quality of its air, and, at GreenFox Energy, we are proudly committed to ensuring that the local community plays an important part in delivering on these eco-friendly solutions.

Solar energy stands out as one of the cleanest and most cost-effective sources of power. By harnessing solar panels, Edinburgh's residences can be powered without relying on polluting fossil fuels. Embracing solar energy at your property aids in cutting emissions from coal and gas plants, curbing air pollution in the city. This move towards cleaner air benefits everyone, reducing the prevalence of respiratory illness and fostering a sustainable environment for present and future generations.
