Solar roller shutters in Edinburgh
Surveys in Edinburgh and the surrounding area are arranged directly with you, as part of our coverage across Edinburgh & the Lothians. Neighbouring towns we cover include Dalkeith (6 miles away), Musselburgh and Kirkcaldy.
On houses in Edinburgh, the practical questions are where the box can sit, how the shutter will be powered and whether the window is an escape route; the survey answers all three.
Window shutters are usually chosen for security when a house is empty, for blackout in bedrooms or for keeping summer heat off the glass, and the survey in Edinburgh starts with which of those matters most to you.

Planning and safety in Edinburgh
In Edinburgh, as elsewhere in Scotland, planning questions go to your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- Planning: Solar shutters look much the same as mains shutters from outside, so the same planning advice applies.
- Orientation: We check daylight on the panel at survey; heavily shaded openings may need a remote panel or mains power.

Frequently asked questions
Do solar shutters work in winter?
Yes. The panel charges in daylight, not just sunshine, and a full battery runs the shutter for many cycles. Very shaded spots are assessed at survey.
Are solar shutters more expensive?
The shutter costs more than a mains version, but you save on electrical work, which often makes the total similar.
Do I need permission for solar roller shutters in Edinburgh?
External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. If you are unsure, ask your council; we provide product details for any application.
Is the survey free in Edinburgh?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Edinburgh are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
