Who Is Glasgow Solar Compare?
Glasgow Solar Compare is a brand-agnostic renewable energy consultancy. We do not sell a single brand. Instead, we compare the major solar panel manufacturers — including JA Solar, Jinko, LONGi, REC and SunPower — side by side, along with inverter brands like SolarEdge, Enphase and Huawei, and battery brands including Tesla Powerwall, Duracell, PylonTech and Sungrow. We source up to four installer quotes from our network of MCS-certified installer partners and help you make an informed decision. We arrange surveys and quotes; we install through MCS-certified partners. Our service is free and carries no obligation.
Which Areas Do You Cover?
We cover all Glasgow G postcodes from G1 city centre to G84 Helensburgh, plus surrounding areas including Paisley, East Kilbride, Bearsden, Milngavie, Bishopbriggs, Clydebank, Newton Mearns, Clarkston, Rutherglen, Cambuslang and Kirkintilloch. We also cover all of Scotland through our MCS-certified partner network — if your postcode is outside Glasgow, enter it on the quote form and we will confirm options for your area. All our installer partners are SPEN-registered for G postcodes, ensuring grid connection applications are handled correctly.
Who Installs the Systems?
We install through MCS-certified partners. MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) certification is the industry quality standard for small-scale renewable installations in the UK. An MCS-certified installation is what makes your system eligible for the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), so you can be paid for electricity you export to the grid. Our installation partner is Home Heating Services (Scotland) Ltd, operating as Scottish Energy Efficiency. All installations are fully insured and backed by industry-leading warranties.
Is Finance Available?
Yes. Interest-free credit is available on everything, subject to status. Your adviser will explain the finance options and the representative example before you commit to anything. We are clear in every quote about what you pay and when, with no hidden charges.
How Do I Get a Quote?
Fill in the short form on our website or call 0141 230 0198. An adviser will check your property, your energy use and your goals, then arrange a free site survey. After the survey, you receive up to four written quotes comparing different brands and packages. There is no obligation to proceed.
Glasgow Housing and Solar
Glasgow's housing stock ranges from Victorian sandstone tenements in the West End and Dennistoun to post-war semis in Pollok and Castlemilk, and modern detached homes in Bearsden and Newton Mearns. Each property type has different considerations for solar — tenements need neighbour agreement and microinverters for shading, semis have clean individual roofs, and detached homes offer the most space. We understand what works for each type. Glasgow receives approximately 1,300-1,400 sunshine hours per year, and modern panels generate electricity from daylight, not direct sunshine, making solar effective even on overcast days.
Smart Export Guarantee
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) pays you for electricity your solar panels export to the grid. Because we install through MCS-certified partners, your installation is MCS-certified and eligible for SEG payments. SEG tariffs vary by supplier, and we explain the current options in your quote. Pairing solar with a battery reduces the amount you export, which can be more cost-effective than relying on SEG payments alone — a battery lets you use your own electricity in the evening instead of buying it back at a higher price.
