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

Solar roller shutters in Dunfermline: 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.
How long does the battery last?
Batteries are a replaceable part and typically last several years in normal use. Replacement does not mean replacing the shutter.
Is the survey free in Dunfermline?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Dunfermline are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do I need permission for solar roller shutters in Dunfermline?
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.
