Scottish Housing Projects

Photon Energy has installed over 300kwp of solar pv for housing projects in scotland.

Photon Energy have now completed four projects for new build residential homes in Scotland. The projects include:

  • Vellore Road, Maddiston

  • Galashields Phase 1 and 2

  • Heartlands, Whitburn

Photon Energy have installed solar PV on 253 homes to date for housing projects in Scotland using Viridian Clearline Fusion PV modules.

The new properties are set to generate up to 60% less CO2 emissions than existing homes.

As a certified installer under the Micro-Generation Certificate Scheme (MSC), we have a reputation for engineering excellence, and going into 2020, we are continuing our work with many of the UK’s top house builders.

Working with our local installation team has made Photon extremely competitive in the Scottish market.

Viridian in roof kit provide the highest quality and superior aesthetics. Clearline solar panels from Viridian replace the titles and fir neatly into the roof line, with no cables or racking visible, therefore creating a seamless appearance that are ideally suited to the modern design of new build homes.

In Scotland most new homes built under the 2015 building regulations, now require solar. We schedule the installation of solar panels to fit around the construction programme and are flexible enough to accommodate any changes. With the costs of solar PV continuing their downward trajectory, the UK’s house builders are increasingly recognising that solar is the best way to reduce a home’s carbon emissions. Our clients pride themselves for being at the forefront of sustainable, low carbon homes.

Jamie Bursnell, Group Technical Adviser at Persimmon Homes said: “After a thorough assesment of all the options for solar PV, we decided that the Clearline Fusion system from Viridian offered us the best combination of quality, value and excellent aesthetics. Photon Energy have done a great job installing the PV systems.”
