Yes. Dundee has among the highest sunshine hours on the Scottish east coast, making it well-suited for solar plus Powerwall. The city mix of sandstone villas and modern estates provides good roof options. Battery storage extends solar usefulness into the evening. 0% VAT applies until March 2027.
Dundee is known as the sunniest city in Scotland, receiving around 1,400 sunshine hours per year. This makes it one of the best locations for solar generation in the country. The city housing stock includes historic sandstone tenements in the city centre, Victorian villas in areas like Broughty Ferry and the West End, and modern housing estates in areas like Monifieth and Charleston. Broughty Ferry properties often have large south-facing gardens and unshaded roofs ideal for solar arrays. The West End villas typically have slate roofs with good orientation. Modern developments in the Caird Park area and along the Kingsway have standardized roof constructions that are straightforward for solar installation. Dundee's position on the Tay estuary means it is exposed to easterly winds, and coastal properties can experience power disruptions during winter storms. The Powerwall Storm Watch feature is valuable for these properties. Dundee City Council has been supportive of renewable energy installations, and most residential solar installations fall under permitted development.
