We delivered a large-scale commercial solar PV and battery storage system for COPE Ltd in Shetland, designed to reduce operational energy costs and improve long-term energy resilience.
The installation formed part of a wider electrical package, including full wiring, fire alarm systems, and emergency lighting - providing a fully integrated solution for the new-build site.
The system needed to perform efficiently within DNO export limitations across a 3-phase supply while maximising on-site energy usage for a commercial load profile.
It also had to integrate seamlessly into a new-build electrical installation, maintain high levels of safety, monitoring, and control, and be carefully coordinated alongside other trades during construction.
We designed and installed a tailored commercial solar and battery system to meet the site’s requirements:
The installation was delivered alongside the wider electrical works, with a clean rooftop layout and a neat, well-structured internal setup.
The system is expected to generate approximately 14,910 kWh annually, supplying around 48% of the site’s energy demand.
Shetland Home Co (part of COPE Ltd) reopened in April 2026, with reduced operational energy costs and improved efficiency, with battery storage enabling excess solar energy to be stored and used during peak demand periods.
COPE Ltd now benefits from a high-performance, future-ready solar and battery system that reduces energy costs, improves sustainability, and integrates seamlessly within a complete electrical installation.
“From initial enquiry, through to installation and post installation, Lewis and the team at George Robertson have been excellent to deal with and we have no hesitation recommending them.”

"Really nice, polite guys were the sparkies; they worked away quietly and left a tidy job at the end of each day. I’m recommending your business at every opportunity."
"I cannot praise the way your boys working highly enough, not a minute wasted. Not only is the standard of their work excellent but they also cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day in a way I’ve rarely experienced with other tradesfolk. Best wishes from one happy customer."
"Just a wee note to thank you again for organising the electrical work on my house at such short notice. It is genuinely very much appreciated."
