Quick answer
Why is Dundee a good location for home battery arbitrage?
Dundee gets strong solar irradiance for Scotland and has a mix of tenements and modern estates. A battery charges on Octopus Agile off-peak and discharges at peak, or stores daytime solar. SP Energy Networks handles grid paperwork. Our office is in Dundee, so surveys are quick to arrange.

What kinds of homes in Dundee suit a battery?
Dundee has tenement flats in the Hilltown and Lochee, Victorian terraces in the West End, post-war estates in Douglas and Whitfield, and modern developments at the waterfront and Kings Cross. The Hilltown tenements often have close cupboards for batteries, while West End terraces have cellars. Modern estates have garages and utility rooms.
How do roofs and weather in Dundee affect solar and battery?
Dundee is one of the sunniest cities in Scotland, with around 1,500 sunshine hours per year. South-facing roofs in Broughty Ferry and the West End are excellent for solar plus battery. The city's position on the Tay estuary means coastal winds can supplement generation where a small wind turbine is permitted, though most installs pair solar with a grid-charged battery.
