What's different about Scotland
- Installed costs in Scotland run roughly 5–15% above the UK average (MCS data shows about 9% higher cost per kW for solar), with Highland and island jobs adding travel surcharges.
- A colder, wetter climate makes heating efficiency the priority, and tenement flats need shared-roof agreement before solar can go ahead.
- Scotland has its own funding: Home Energy Scotland offers a £7,500 heat pump grant (£9,000 in rural areas) plus optional interest-free loans. The England-and-Wales Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply, but the £350 OZEV charger grant does.
