Coleraine · Portrush · Ballymoney · Ballycastle
North coast roofs, weather-proof spec: solar for Coleraine to Ballycastle.
The Causeway Coast is at the edge of our range — roughly an hour to an hour and a quarter from Belfast — so we batch work here into planned runs. Coleraine, Portrush, Portstewart, Ballymoney, Ballycastle and Bushmills are all covered.
Local knowledge
How we work on the Causeway Coast.
Housing here splits three ways: Coleraine's large post-war estates and university-town semis; the seaside stock of Portrush and Portstewart, where holiday lets and second homes sit beside family houses; and the farms and bungalows inland around Ballymoney and up towards Ballycastle. Each wants a slightly different system. Coleraine semis usually take a straightforward array; seaside properties need the weather spec (marine-grade fixings, correctly IP-rated kit, sensible cable routing); rural homes tend to lean on a battery and hot-water diversion because oil is still the main heat source.
Holiday lets are a case of their own: the roof generates most when the house is busiest, summer, which is exactly when a small solar-plus-battery system earns its keep — and a home EV charger is becoming an expected amenity for guests. For owner-occupiers the north coast's long summer days make the annual figures better than people assume; we model your roof and shading rather than quoting off a regional average, so the number you see is the one you get.

NICEIC approved
Electricians on the Causeway Coast.
Holiday-let and student-let owners around Portrush, Portstewart and Coleraine need periodic EICRs — from £180 +VAT, booked between guests or tenants — and a lot of older seaside stock is due a consumer unit replacement before it takes an EV charger.
Salt-air corrosion and damp are behind most of the faults we trace on the coast; we fix the cause and certify the repair. Smart heating controls are popular in lets that sit empty midweek.
Causeway Coast questions
Asked locally, answered straight.
Do you really cover Portrush and Ballycastle from Belfast?
Yes. We plan north-coast work into runs so surveys and installs are efficient, and the price basis is the same as Belfast. If a job ever genuinely sits outside our reach we'll say so on the phone.
Is solar worth it on the north coast?
The north coast gets long summer days and plenty of daylight; wind and salt are the challenge, not the sun. With the right fixings and a design based on your real roof, annual generation here is comparable to the rest of Northern Ireland.
What about planning — Portrush, Portstewart and Ballycastle have older streets.
Most domestic solar is permitted development in NI, but listed buildings and conservation areas carry extra rules, particularly on roof faces visible from the street. Give us the address and we'll check the position before anything is ordered.
Can a holiday let have solar, a battery and an EV charger?
Yes, and it's a strong combination: summer generation lines up with peak occupancy, a battery carries the evening, and an OZEV-approved charger from £625 installed is increasingly expected by guests.
How is the system connected to the grid up here?
Through NIE Networks like everywhere in NI — G98 notification for small systems, a G99 application first for larger solar-plus-battery systems. Rural single-phase supplies sometimes carry an export limit; we design to it.
Ready when the north coast is.
