🚢 Mallaig → Uist… and a wee look behind the scenes!
While most people see the shiny solar panels, batteries and fancy kit going in… they don’t always see the other side of what it takes to make it all happen.
Michael is currently sitting in Mallaig Ferry Terminal, waiting to board the boat to Uist…..and taking a rare moment to have a wee blether about the sacrifices that come with running a business like ours.
Being away from home for 5 or 6 days at a time isn’t always easy. Especially when you’ve got a young family waiting for you at home. ❤️
You miss the school runs. You miss the bedtime routines. You miss the daft little moments that you normally take for granted.
Kevin knows exactly the same feeling, and it’s a sacrifice both of them make week in, week out to keep the wheels turning and deliver the level of service we pride ourselves on.
And it’s not just the lads on the road… the whole team plays their part.
The office staff keeping everything organised, the guys out installing, and even Alison our accountant gets a shout-out! 😂
It genuinely takes everyone pulling in the same direction.
And this week is no different…
📍 5 installs across some cracking parts of Scotland
⚡ Tesla
🔋 EcoFlow
☀️ Hanchu
…and a whole lot of travelling, planning, graft and probably more coffee than is medically advisable! ☕😂
We’re incredibly proud that Solar Specialists Scotland is a family-run business, and family values and good old-fashioned morals are at the heart of everything we do.
We care about our customers, we care about our team, and we care about doing a proper job — even when that means long days, long journeys and time away from our own families.
Scotland is a big place… but thankfully it’s a pretty spectacular one to work in. 🏔️❤️
So from Michael, Kevin and the whole team at Solar Specialists Scotland…
Have a brilliant week everyone! 👋
And Michael… try not to miss the ferry! 😂🚢
