One of the most common questions we hear is: “Do solar panels even work in Northern Ireland?” The answer is a resounding yes!
Despite our famously grey skies, solar PV systems continue to perform efficiently and deliver real energy savings all year round. Here’s why you shouldn’t let the weather hold you back.
Solar Works in Daylight – Not Just Direct Sunshine
Solar PV panels generate electricity from daylight, not just sunshine. Even on overcast days, your system is working. In fact, Germany — one of the world’s top solar producers — gets less annual sunshine than Northern Ireland.
Year-Round Performance
Modern solar panels are designed to perform efficiently even in lower light conditions. Plus, cooler temperatures actually help panels perform more efficiently than in extreme heat.
Real-Life Results
Our customers across Derry and the surrounding areas regularly see a significant drop in their electricity bills — even during the winter months. With smart system design and proper orientation, you can make solar work effectively all year round.
Conclusion
The truth is, solar works — even in the rain. With rising electricity prices and growing demand for renewable energy, now is a great time to go solar in Northern Ireland. Contact Fiesta Solar to find out how we can help you power your home or business, no matter the weather.
