AES Solar has completed the installation of a solar system at Edinburgh Castle.
The 31.5kW system was installed as part of Historic Environment Scotland’s continued programme to reduce energy use across the historic properties in its care.
The solar panels are installed on the roof of the Scottish National War Memorial.
Surrounded by a high parapet, the panels are not visible from the castle grounds and other vantage points within the city.
Despite the panels not being visible, the AES Solar team took every effort to respect the building within the historic site.
The unveiling of the solar panels on Edinburgh Castle also comes a week after AES Solar was awarded The Queen’s Award for Enterprise for efforts in Sustainable Development, the most prestigious business awards in the country.
AES Solar business development manager Robert Wilson said: “This has been an incredibly rewarding and exciting project to work on. This excitement is shared across our whole team.
“The project has very much been a group effort with members across the company lending their experience and technical knowledge.
“The success of this project is also a testament to our fantastic partners and their products, SunPower Solar PV panels, the SolarEdge Inverter, and Sunfixings for the mounting system.”
