LOCAL HOUSING
What kinds of homes are in Banchory?
Banchory is a popular Deeside town with a mix of traditional granite properties, substantial detached homes and newer developments. The older granite buildings near the town centre have slate roofs, while newer estates have standard tiled roofs.
Rural properties along the Dee valley towards Aboyne and Ballater include stone cottages and farmhouses, many off the gas grid and heated by oil or LPG. These are strong candidates for solar with a heat pump and battery.
ROOF AND WEATHER
Is Banchory a good spot for solar panels?
Banchory sits in the Dee valley, sheltered by surrounding hills. This gives good summer daylight but valley shading can be a factor in winter for some properties. The survey checks orientation and any hill or tree shading.
Royal Deeside enjoys some of the best summer daylight in the region. South-facing roofs along the valley get excellent output from spring through autumn, and a battery helps store that surplus for evening use.
