Why Choose Us

Why Choose Our Solar Panel Installation Services in Aberdeen?

Why we take a roofing-first approach to your solar PV

One of the biggest worries people have is whether solar panels will cause leaks or damage their tiles. It is a fair question! Many 'solar-only' firms focus on the electrics but might not have the structural roofing experience to ensure your home stays watertight. That is where we differ. Because our background is in professional roofing and building, we treat your roof with the respect it deserves. We check the integrity of your timbers and slates before a single bracket is fitted.We specialise in both retrofitting panels to existing roofs and installing 'in-roof' or roof-integrated solar systems. These sit flush with your tiles for a much sleeker look, which is often a popular choice for new builds or when we are doing a full roof replacement. From Banchory to Bridge of Don, we ensure that every installation is North East weatherproofed, meaning it will stand up to the gales and driving rain we know all too well.

Does solar actually work in the North East climate?

It is the most common myth we hear: "Surely it is too cloudy in Scotland for solar?" Actually, modern photovoltaic systems (PV) thrive on daylight, not just direct scorching heat. In fact, panels can be more efficient in cooler temperatures than in sweltering heat. Even on a typical overcast day in the Silver City, your panels are hard at work generating green energy. We use high-performance inverters and MCS-standard components to make sure you are squeezing every drop of power out of our Aberdeenshire skies.By installing solar panels, you are also improving your property's EPC rating, which is becoming increasingly important for resale value. Plus, with the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), you can even earn a bit of money back by selling any excess electricity you don't use back to the National Grid. It is a win-win for your wallet and the environment.

Store your own power with battery storage and EV charging

Imagine coming home from work and using the energy your roof collected while you were out. That is the beauty of battery storage. We can integrate advanced battery systems into your solar setup, allowing you to store that daytime energy for use in the evening. It is a massive step toward true energy independence. Many of our Blackburn customers are also asking about EV charging integration. We can set up your system so your solar panels help fuel your car, literally letting you drive on sunshine.We handle everything from the initial electrical installations to the final commissioning. If your roof needs a bit of TLC before the panels go on—maybe some moss removal or a few chimney repairs—we can take care of that too. You won't need to juggle multiple contractors; we are your one-stop shop for everything from the rafters up.

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.
