Not every roof is textbook, and that’s where Smartly shines. Whether you’ve got a flat roof, corrugated metal, or something in between, our team designs solar systems that work with your structure, not against it. With smart mounting, sleek installs and zero compromises on performance, our bespoke solar options are perfect for homes and buildings with unique roof styles.
Flat roofs are no barrier to clean energy. In fact, with the right solar panel mounting system, they can be one of the best options for domestic and commercial installations. Our tailored flat roof solar setups maximise sun exposure while keeping your roof intact and watertight.
Installing solar panels on corrugated roofing requires care, precision – and the right expertise. At Smartly, we specialise in delivering sleek, secure PV installations on all types of corrugated roofing sheets, from sheds and workshops to warehouses and agricultural buildings.
Solar panels use photovoltaic (PV) cells to convert sunlight into electricity. No moving parts, no noise, just pure energy straight from the sun. This electricity can be used in your home, stored in a battery for later, or sent back to the grid (which can even earn you some cash).
Whether you’re on-grid, off-grid or somewhere in between, there’s a solar setup to suit your needs.
Weather and landscape can be testing here in the UK, particularly up in Scotland. So, not every home is an instant candidate for solar panels. But with a bit of planning, we can find a way to install your renewable energy solution Smartly.
South-facing roof? Perfect. East or west-facing? Still great. North-facing? Not ideal, but not impossible. We’ve never let it stop us before.
Although our solar panels can push through some gray skies, shading can reduce efficiency even further. Large trees or nearby buildings won’t be your friend when it comes to solar energy.
If your roof is on its last legs, that might be something you want to sort before sticking solar panels on top. In this case, in-roof solar tiles may be your best shout to tackle two birds with one stone.

Most homes don’t need planning permission for solar panels in the UK and Scotland, but if you’re in a conservation area or have a listed property, check with your local council first.

A typical UK solar panel system costs between £5,000 and £8,000. Add a battery, and you’re looking at £2,000-£6,000 extra.
Expect to knock off £150-£400 per year from your electricity bill, depending on your system size and energy usage.
Most households break even in 10-15 years, but with rising energy prices, this could be even sooner.
Keep an eye out for government schemes and low-interest green loans to make your investment even more affordable.
Looking to install solar panels in Scotland or elsewhere in the UK but still not sure – take a look at our FAQs. We’re sure you’ll find your question, answered Smartly.
As a rough estimate (very much dependent on the product), Standard Solar Panels cost on average £1750 per kW, or £250 per square metre. Solar Tiles cost on average £2250 per kW or £320 per square metre.
Plus UK customers pay ZERO VAT on solar panels and tiles between now and 2025. So it is an ideal time to make the investment.
Please note these prices do not include installation costs (which are usually around 25% of the material cost), or any battery storage.
Here at Smartly, we have a fantastic team of experts to install your solar panels in Scotland and beyond in the UK.
One concern with installing solar panels in Scotland or the UK is the untrustworthy weather. But rest assured, even the most gloomy days won’t render your solar panels useless. Solar panels in themselves are about as low-maintenance as it gets. They have no moving parts, so there’s very little to go wrong. Occasionally, you’ll want to give them a clean (or let the rain do the job for you). Most panels last 25+ years, and performance warranties typically cover at least 80% efficiency for that entire time.
So yes, they still work in the UK’s famous ‘moody’ weather – solar panels generate electricity even on cloudy days. They just prefer the sun like the rest of us.
The choice between solar tiles and solar panels is a very individual one, but of course we can help! Some people do not like the look of standard solar panels, but still wish to generate their own power and/or offset their carbon footprint. Solar tiles are the perfect solution, while making your roof look great.
