Did you know that grants are available covering up to 50% of the initial cost of a solar electricity installation in Northern Ireland?
Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems work in a similar way to the solar cells sometimes found on a calculator. The system uses the sun’s free energy to create electricity. A system can either supplement your existing electricity supply or be designed to provide the sole source of electricity for appropriate electrical equipment.
Each minute enough sunlight reaches the Earth’s surface to meet the world’s energy demand for an entire year.
- You can use clean electricity from photovoltaic panels on your home or business
to replace power produced by coal, oil, and nuclear power plants.
- A solar power system ties into your current utility connection, turning your electric
meter backwards when the sun shines.
- Photovoltaic technology is proven, reliable, and has no moving parts.
- A solar power system on your home or business demonstrates your commitment
to clean, renewable energy.

Over its 35-year expected life, a 10 kW system will provide the equivalent CO2 reduction as planting 1450 trees. (Based on typical utility pollution, it will prevent emissions of 963,125 lbs of carbon dioxide, 4,237 lbs of sulphur dioxide, and 1,364 lbs of nitrogen oxides.) It will produce 575,000 kilowatt hours of electricity, as much as would be generated by burning 583,000 lbs of coal.
Solar photovoltaic systems can be installed on both new and old properties. Our trained team will survey your property and advise you about the best position to take full advantage of your potential solar energy. |
