Areas we cover in Edinburgh & the Lothians
We arrange no-obligation solar and battery surveys and quotes across the City of Edinburgh, Midlothian, East Lothian and West Lothian. From Leith tenements to detached houses in Balerno and new builds in Livingston, if your postcode starts with EH we can help — including conservation-area and tenement properties.
Solar Battery Edinburgh is exactly that — focused on Edinburgh and the surrounding Lothians. We know the local housing stock, from New Town tenements and Marchmont stone terraces to post-war suburbs and modern developments in the Lothians. That local knowledge matters because it affects what kind of system is practical, what consents you might need, and how the installation is carried out.
City of Edinburgh neighbourhoods
We cover every neighbourhood in the City of Edinburgh council area. Whether you live in a basement flat in Stockbridge, a tenement in Marchmont, a villa in Morningside, or a family home in Corstorphine or Portobello, we can arrange a survey and quote. Below are some of the areas we regularly work in — if your street is not listed, we almost certainly still cover it.
Tenements and conservation areas
Edinburgh has one of the largest conservation-area footprints of any UK city. The New Town, Old Town, Marchmont, the Grange, Dean Village, and Stockbridge all have designations that can affect what solar work is visible from the street. Tenement flats add the further complication of shared roof ownership and common stairs.
We are experienced in advising on these properties. At survey we look at what is practical within the constraints: rear-elevation panels that are not visible from the street, flat-roof and ground-floor options, and where listed-building consent or conservation-area consent is needed. We explain the position clearly before you commit to anything, and we never suggest work that would breach local planning rules.

The Lothians
Beyond the city boundary we cover all three Lothian council areas. The housing here ranges from stone-built Midlothian villages to the new-build estates of West Lothian and the coastal towns of East Lothian. Whatever your property type, we can assess it and prepare a quote.

Rural and outlying properties
The Lothians include a lot of rural and outlying properties — farms, smallholdings, and isolated houses around the Pentlands, the East Lothian coast, and the West Lothian countryside. These are often excellent candidates for solar and battery because they typically have larger roofs, fewer shading issues, and higher consumption than urban flats. If you are on a rural property anywhere in EH postcode area, we can survey it.
