LOCAL HOUSING
What kinds of homes are in Peterhead?
Peterhead is one of the largest towns in Aberdeenshire, with a range of housing from traditional granite terraces near the harbour to post-war semis and modern detached homes on the expanding estates around the town.
Many homes in Peterhead are heated by electric storage heaters or oil, with no mains gas in some areas, which makes solar paired with a battery or heat pump a practical option for reducing running costs.
ROOF AND WEATHER
Is Peterhead a good spot for solar panels?
Peterhead is the most easterly point in mainland Scotland, so it catches early morning daylight, which is useful for east-facing roofs. The coastal position means wind exposure is higher than inland, and the survey checks that roof fixings and panel mounting are specified for exposed conditions.
Salt air from the North Sea is a factor for homes near the harbour, so the survey may recommend indoor inverter siting. Summer daylight hours in Buchan are among the longest in Scotland.
