Local information for Perth
Grid connection in Perth
Perth is served by SSEN as the Distribution Network Operator.
Perth and surrounding Perthshire are served by SSEN. Most residential solar installations above 3.68kW require a G99 application. Perth city properties generally have good grid capacity, but rural properties on the outskirts may face longer connection timescales.
Planning in Perth
Planning for Perth is handled by Perth & Kinross Council.
Perth has several conservation areas including the city centre and parts of the North and South Inch. Most residential solar falls under permitted development outside these zones.
This area includes conservation zones — we check planning requirements as part of every survey.

Battery storage for Perth homes and the rural edges
In the city itself a battery is mostly about using more of your own solar and shifting load off peak-rate electricity. Out towards the Perthshire fringes it is also about resilience, where a rural supply can be slower to come back after bad weather. We design the battery around how you actually use power, and which circuits you would want kept running.
For homes with solar
A battery stores daytime generation so you can use more of your own power after dark, instead of exporting it cheaply and buying it back at peak rate. That suits family homes that are quiet during the day but busy at tea time, and EV households juggling solar, overnight tariffs and charger use.
For businesses and rural sites
Shops, offices and rural properties around Perth often have steady daytime demand and kit they would rather not lose in an outage. We size storage around real loads - heating controls, refrigeration, tills, broadband, office equipment - rather than fitting the biggest box on the wall.
Backup power needs planned properly
Not every battery automatically backs up the whole property. If you want emergency power, we will specify EPS or whole-home backup where the kit and your supply allow it, then agree which circuits matter most. On the rural Perthshire installs we have done, heating controls, broadband, lighting and refrigeration usually come first.
Installed by the same electrical team
We fit Tesla Powerwall, GivEnergy, Growatt, Fox ESS, Puredrive and Solax systems, and handle the electrical work in-house. If your consumer unit, earthing or solar inverter needs changed to make the battery work properly, we include that in the quote rather than leaving you to coordinate trades.
