COMMERCIAL
Commercial solar PV systems, complemented by battery storage, offer a strategic solution to rising business energy costs. By generating your own renewable energy, you can significantly reduce reliance on the grid, leading to substantial cost savings. In fact, many UK businesses experience payback periods as short as 1 to 3 years, especially for larger installations.
DOMESTIC
Installing a solar photovoltaic system at home is a smart investment that offers both financial and environmental benefits. By generating your own electricity, you can reduce energy bills, lower your carbon footprint, and gain greater energy independence. With advancements in technology and rising electricity costs there’s never been a better time to make the switch to solar energy.

The Energy Efficiency Capital Grant (EECG) will help Northern Ireland businesses reduce energy costs and build resilience through efficiency. It will offer grant support to buy and install energy efficient equipment that reduces energy and carbon emissions.
Benefits of Installing A Solar PV System
Embracing solar photovoltaic (PV) technology empowers you to harness the sun’s energy, leading to significant reductions in electricity bills and a decrease in your carbon footprint. With the UK’s commitment to renewable energy, solar PV systems have become an increasingly popular choice for homeowners seeking sustainable and cost-effective energy solutions. Beyond environmental advantages, solar installations can enhance property value and offer greater energy independence.
Reduced Electricity Bills
Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, which can significantly reduce your electricity bills. By producing your own power, you can offset or even eliminate your reliance on grid electricity.
Return on Investment
Solar panels have a relatively long lifespan typically 25 years or more. Over time, the energy savings and potential income from selling excess energy back to the grid can outweigh the initial installation costs.
Clean and Renewable Energy
Solar energy is a clean and renewable energy source. It reduces your carbon footprint and dependence on fossil fuels, contributing to a more sustainable and eco-friendly energy system.
Increased Property Value
Solar panels can increase the resale value of your property. Many homebuyers are attracted to homes with solar installations because they offer lower energy costs and a green, sustainable feature.
Energy Independence
Solar power provides a degree of energy independence, reducing your vulnerability to energy price fluctuations and supply disruptions. It’s particularly valuable during power outages when paired with specific backup battery storage.
Technological Advancements
Ongoing advancements in solar technology, such as higher efficiency panels and improved energy storage systems, make solar energy systems even more attractive and cost-effective.

Solar energy is harnessed from sunlight using photovoltaic (PV) panels. These panels convert sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect.
Solar panels reduce electricity bills, lower your carbon footprint, and can provide a return on investment. You can also benefit from selling any excess energy back to your electricity supplier.

Going off-grid with solar panels in Northern Ireland is possible but may require additional components like battery storage. Off-grid systems typically involve increased upfront costs.
Solar panels in Northern Ireland typically last 25-30 years or more. Maintenance is minimal, including occasional cleaning and inspections to ensure optimal performance.
Most locations in Northern Ireland are suitable for solar energy, but the amount of sunlight, shading, and local regulations can affect system efficiency. In general, southern regions of Northern Ireland receive more sunlight.
Solar panels can be installed on flat roofs in Northern Ireland using specialized mounting systems. We will assess the roof’s condition and design an appropriate installation.
Most grid-tied solar systems in Northern Ireland shut down during a power outage for safety reasons. To maintain power during outages, consider adding a backup battery storage system to your solar setup.
A backup battery storage system is not the same as have a ‘standard’ solar pv storage system. Backup battery storage splits the ‘essential’ circuits in your home on to a new consumer unit, things like lighting, fridge/freezer and perhaps a few sockets. A separate earth spike is then installed to prevent feedback on to the grid to ensure any DNO engineers working on the grid can do so safely.
Many solar systems come with monitoring tools that allow you to track energy production, system health, and energy consumption. These tools provide real-time data for optimization.
If you’re creating more renewable energy than you use, you can sell the excess energy to some providers via Microgeneration. The Microgen tariff sets out how much you’ll get paid for the electricity you export to the grid. This allows you to generate long-term income from your solar panels.
The rates are approved by the Utility Regulator, so you have peace of mind that you’re getting a fair price.
In many cases, you do not need planning permission to install solar panels on your property in Northern Ireland, as they often fall under “permitted development rights.” However, it’s advisable to check with your local planning authority to ensure compliance with any specific regulations in your area.
Solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy or rainy days, although their efficiency may be reduced. Northern Ireland’s climate, with its variable weather, is suitable for solar panels. They’ll continue to generate electricity, albeit at a slightly lower rate, during less sunny periods.
Yes, solar panels are a great option for commercial properties and businesses in Northern Ireland. They can help reduce operating costs, improve sustainability, and even provide additional revenue through energy generation.
Solar systems continue to produce electricity during the winter months in Northern Ireland, though the amount of sunlight is lower compared to summer. You can still benefit from solar energy throughout the year, and energy storage or grid connectivity can help maintain a consistent power supply.
