A Portable Off-Grid Power Cabinet
Solar, wind and generator into one sealed, relocatable cabinet for an exposed cabin near Thurso.
Read case studyWhere this specialism started
Off-grid power, rooted in the Scottish Highlands.
We work the length of the UK now — but the off-grid and generator side of the business grew out of the Highlands, and that's still where our deepest track record sits. A Highland or islands job is routine for us, not an expedition.
Where we work in Scotland
From the north coast to the islands.
Remote, rural and off-mains properties across Scotland — the sites that need a different approach to power, and someone who'll actually travel to them.
Caithness · Sutherland · Wester Ross · Skye · Lochaber
Highland
Crofts at the end of long single-phase spurs, estate houses miles beyond the last pole, and properties with no grid connection at all. This is where the awkward jobs taught us the habits we now apply everywhere.
West coast · Peninsulas · Islands
Argyll & Bute
Long, exposed runs, ferry-served communities and rural properties where a dependable independent supply matters more than anywhere. Off-grid, standby generation and the electrical work around it.
North-east · Banffshire · Farms & estates
Aberdeenshire & Moray
Agricultural and estate work across the rural north-east — farm buildings, steadings, three-phase supplies, backup generators and periodic inspection, scheduled around a working operation.
Western Isles · Orkney · Shetland
The Islands
The properties that benefit most from planned power and servicing, because they're the hardest to reach in an emergency and the most exposed when the mains fails. We plan around ferries and weather.

Keeping a Classic Lister Running
Decades-old estate plant with no manufacturer support, held dependable on an annual servicing schedule.
Read case studyWhy Scotland is a different job
Remote Scottish properties aren't just further away — they change what "reliable power" has to mean. When you're at the end of a long single-phase spur, or off the grid entirely, there's no network operator watching your supply and no engineer a short drive away when something fails.
That's why the work here leans on three things: honest sizing so a system matches the loads that actually matter, proper certification so insurers and building control accept it, and planned servicing so faults are found on a scheduled visit rather than during the outage the system was bought for. Add ferries, weather and winter into the planning, and it becomes a specialism rather than a call-out.
FAQ
Common questions.
Will you travel to the Highlands and islands?
Yes — remote Highland properties, the Western Isles, Orkney, Shetland and other island and rural sites are exactly the kind of work we take on. Off-grid installs and generator projects are worth a conversation wherever they are. We plan visits around access, ferries and weather so a trip finishes the job.
Do you still cover Scotland now you work nationwide?
Very much so. The off-grid and generator side of the business grew out of the Scottish Highlands, and that's still where our deepest track record sits. Working nationwide hasn't changed that — a Highland or islands job is routine for us, not an expedition.
Which parts of Scotland do you work in?
The Highlands (Caithness, Sutherland, Wester Ross, Skye, Lochaber), Argyll and Bute, Aberdeenshire and Moray, and the islands — Western Isles, Orkney and Shetland. If your site is remote, rural or off the mains entirely, it's the kind of work we're set up for.
