THE short answer is yes — solar panels are absolutely worth it in Northern Ireland.

A average domestic solar system here generates over 4,000 units annually, potentially saving you more than £1,000 each year. Investing in solar panels not only provides a stable and predictable source of energy but also locks in electricity rates for the lifespan of the panels, protecting you from inflation.

With a 25-year performance warranty, the savings can be substantial, especially given the recent fluctuations in Northern Ireland’s electricity prices.

As one of the region’s longest-standing solar panel installers here, we bring over 20 years of experience to the table and are ready to answer any questions you may have before starting your solar journey.

A typical domestic system generates around 4,700 kWh, saving you over £1,000 annually and offering a return on investment in five-eight years

How can I further utilise my solar panels?

You can maximise your solar investment by adding an immersion heater controller to your system, reducing your oil spend by using excess solar energy to heat your water tank. Typically, between March and September, excess solar power can meet all your hot water needs, even in Northern Ireland.

Since solar energy production doesn’t always align with peak consumption times and Northern Irish weather isn’t always sunny, we can offer battery storage solutions.

These batteries store excess energy generated during the day for use later, ensuring a reliable power supply even during non-sunny hours. This not only maximises your energy independence but also promotes a more sustainable and efficient lifestyle.

With the rise of electric cars in Northern Ireland, there’s never been a better time to charge your EV cost-effectively. Incorporating a solar-compatible EV charger into your bespoke solar system ensures you make the most of the energy you generate. Imagine driving this summer with the windows down, knowing you’re powered by solar energy you produced.
