Fitting solar roller shutters in Lerwick
Where a window in Lerwick has no power nearby, a solar shutter avoids running a cable; where there is a socket or spur, a wired motor is simpler.
You do not have to do every window at once: in Lerwick we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.
Island addresses, including Lerwick (ZE1), are covered by arrangement: we plan the crossing and book the survey and fitting days together, and any travel cost is quoted in advance.

Lerwick is in Scotland, so planning decisions sit with 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.
