Inverness Technical Focus

Why Inverness Properties Need Specific Spec

Urban Inverness and Easter Ross commuter homes have distinct technical requirements. We specify accordingly.

🧱

Sandstone Roofs

Crown + Drummond Victorian villas common. Standard rail mounting works well. Conservation area checks required for some front elevations.

🛣️

A9 Commuter Homes

Beauly, Dingwall, Alness, Invergordon — modern detached homes ideal for 5–6kW systems. Full Permitted Development rights apply.

🌊

Coastal Spec

Nairn, Tain, Portmahomack — salt-spray rated inverters (C5 class) and marine-grade mounting hardware required.

❄️

Cold-Rated Batteries

Duracell Dura5 LFP rated to -10°C — survives Inverness winter outbuildings. LFP chemistry outperforms NMC in cold.

🏙️

Urban Shading

Inverness city rooftops can face partial shading from chimneys and neighbouring buildings. SolarEdge optimisers specified as standard.

SSEN G99

Most 4kW+ systems need G99 pre-approval from SSEN North before installation. We handle all paperwork — typically 11–30 working days.

🌿

Black Isle Spec

IV6, IV7 Black Isle properties feature high-pitch slate roofs. Specialist mounting brackets used. Higher wind exposure factored in.

🔬

PVGIS Modelling

Every system design uses your specific IV postcode's PVGIS irradiance data — 1,300–1,400 kWh/m²/yr for IV1-IV30.
