Turn your roof into a power station.

Most homes we install on across Fife are 1970s–2000s estates with concrete-tile or slate roofs and a south or south-west aspect — annual generation usually lands in the 3,500–5,500 kWh range for a 4 kWp system. Sandstone tenements, traditional harled walls and the listed conservation pockets in St Andrews, Cupar and Falkland need a bit more care: sometimes black on-roof panels, sometimes ground-mounts, sometimes a polite "this one's not worth it for you" if the roof angle and shading don't add up.

A typical owner-occupier install is 8–12 panels, a 5 kW hybrid inverter, and 1–2 days on site once the scaffolding's up. We work around school runs and shift patterns; you don't need to take time off.

The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) requires participating energy suppliers to pay eligible generators for surplus electricity exported to the grid. MCS certification supports SEG eligibility. Export tariffs change regularly, so we compare the current options with you at handover instead of relying on an old headline rate.

We file the MCS certificate, DNO notification, electrical test certificates and any applicable Scottish Building Standards paperwork. You sign once for the SEG application; we send the rest of the paperwork as a PDF pack you keep for the life of the system.

Whichever way you've seen it written, it's one scheme: the Microgeneration Certification Scheme certifies installers through an independent certification body (ours is NAPIT), audits them, and lists them on a public register. Our certificate covers solar PV and battery storage. We don't print certificate numbers on the website; you can check us by name on the MCS register, on TrustMark and with NAPIT instead.

Solar alone typically gets 30–40% self-consumption — most of what your roof generates ends up exported to the grid for less than it costs to buy electricity back. Add a battery and that figure can rise substantially. Pair it with a suitable time-of-use tariff and you can charge during cheaper off-peak periods, then use that power during more expensive peak hours.

We design solar + battery as one system whenever the household consumption pattern justifies it. If it doesn't, we'll tell you and recommend solar-only.

A solar system sits on a roof in Fife weather for twenty-five years and deserves the same annual look a boiler gets. DUAL Care Solar & Battery is £18 a month for an annual service to BS EN 62446 with a written verification report, a twice-yearly check of your monitoring, priority booking and our member rates. Every new install from us includes its first twelve months.

Core service area: Glenrothes, Kirkcaldy, Leven, Cupar, St Andrews, Dunfermline, Leslie, Markinch, Windygates, Kennoway. We also cover the rest of Fife — Anstruther, Burntisland, Pittenweem, Aberdour — and take on work across Perth & Kinross and in Edinburgh when the job is right. Not sure whether we cover your area? Just ask.
