At P D Roofing & Building Contractors Aberdeenshire, we’ve spent over a decade protecting homes from the elements, and now we’re helping the Silver City harness them. Whether you’re based in the heart of Bridge of Don or out towards the quieter lanes of Banchory, we’re here to help you turn your roof into a power station.

Why Choose Us

Why Choose Our Solar Panel Installation Services in Aberdeen?

Does Solar Actually Work in the North East?

It’s the question we get asked most often over a cuppa: "Is it worth it in Scotland?" The short answer is a resounding yes. Modern solar PV (Photovoltaic) panels don't actually need scorching heat or direct tropical sun to work; they thrive on daylight. Even on those typical grey, overcast days we often see in Aberdeen City, your panels are still generating electricity. In fact, panels actually perform more efficiently in cooler temperatures than in sweltering heat. We’ve installed systems from Inverurie to Stonehaven that consistently slash electricity bills and improve EPC ratings, proving that our northern latitude is no barrier to going green. Our systems are 'North East Weatherproofed,' built to stand up to the gales and driving rain that come off the North Sea.

The Roofing-First Advantage for Your Home

Why choose a roofing company for your solar? Most 'solar-only' sales firms are great at the electronics, but they aren't always experts in the structure they’re drilling into. We take a 'Roofing-First' approach. This means our first priority is the structural integrity and weatherproofing of your home. We've seen too many botch-jobs where panels were fitted to aging tiles, leading to leaks and expensive roof repairs down the line. Because we are experienced builders, we assess your roof's health first. If it needs a bit of TLC or a full roof replacement before the panels go on, we’ll tell you straight. We can even offer in-roof / roof-integrated solar that sits flush with your tiles for a sleek, modern look that doesn't compromise your home’s aesthetic.

Maximise Your Savings with Battery Storage and SEG

What happens when the sun goes down or you're out at work during the peak generation hours? In the past, that energy just went back to the grid. Now, we can install advanced battery storage systems (like Tesla or Alpha ESS) that keep that power tucked away for when you’re making dinner or charging your car at night. By combining solar with a battery, you can use almost 100% of the energy you generate. Plus, through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), any extra energy you don't use can be sold back to the National Grid, effectively turning your home into a little earner. It’s all about future-proofing your property and making those high utility bills a thing of the past.

Modern Solar Systems Built for Aberdeen Weather

Every home is different, which is why we don't do 'off-the-shelf' kits. From Dormer & Velux integration to complex arrays on multi-pitched roofs, our MCS certified team handles the technical solar system design from start to finish. We use high-quality inverters and mounting hardware that won't rust or rattle in the Aberdeenshire wind. If you have an older property with spray foam insulation, we can even handle the spray foam insulation removal often required by mortgage lenders before a solar install. We also provide bird-proofing services to stop pigeons from nesting under your new investment, ensuring your system stays clean and efficient for its 25+ year lifespan.

Solar PV FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our professional solar panel installation and renewable energy solutions in Aberdeen and across North East Scotland.

Why Choose P D Roofing and Building?

+

We are a local team who care about our reputation in the community. We are fully insured and offer clear, fixed quotes so you aren't hit with any surprises later on. We turn up when we say we will, keep the site tidy, and focus on doing a job that lasts.

Do you handle both small repairs and large building projects?

+

Yes. We are happy to come out for a minor roof leak or a few slipped slates. We have a team large enough to handle full house extensions and loft conversions, so no job is really too big or too small for us.

Will I need to find my own plumber or electrician for an extension?

+

No, we provide a complete service. We manage the project from start to finish, which includes bringing in any necessary trades. This saves you the stress of trying to coordinate different people yourself.

How do I know if I need a building warrant or planning permission?

+

Generally, most structural changes like extensions or loft conversions will need a building warrant from Aberdeenshire Council. Some might also need planning permission depending on the size and location. We can chat through your plans and help you understand exactly what the local authorities require.

Are your flat roofing systems better than the old felt roofs?

+

The modern GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber systems we use are much more durable than traditional felt. They don't have the same issues with joints pulling apart or the sun making them brittle. They often last 30 to 50 years with very little maintenance.

Can you help if a mortgage surveyor has flagged an issue with my roof?

+

We certainly can. We often deal with issues like spray foam insulation removal or structural chimney repairs that come up during home surveys. We can provide a clear quote for the work needed to get the sale moving again.

How do you provide quotes?

+

We prefer to visit the property to see the work first-hand. This allows us to give you an accurate, fixed price rather than a guess. Our quotes are free and you are under no obligation to go ahead.
