Red brick, new estates, big employers: solar for Portadown and Craigavon.
Portadown, Lurgan and Craigavon sit about 35–40 minutes down the M1 — close enough for same-week surveys — and the mix of terraces, planned estates and fast-growing new developments gives us plenty to work with.
Local knowledge
How we work in Portadown, Lurgan and Craigavon.
The housing tells the area's story: red-brick terraces and semis in the older parts of Portadown and Lurgan, the 1960s–70s planned estates of Craigavon, and the new-build developments that have spread along the M1 corridor and into Waringstown, Gilford and Moira. New builds often come with a clean south-facing roof and an EV charger point already on the wish list; older terraces usually want a board upgrade first and an array on the rear slope. Either way we design off your actual roof and usage.
Craigavon is also one of the biggest employment centres outside Belfast, which means workplace and commercial EV charging, and commercial solar on the industrial estates — systems sized on real half-hourly data, NIE Networks G99 handled, grant paperwork done. For homes, the large commuter population makes a solar-aware charger and a battery that carries the evening the usual combination.

Electricians in Portadown, Lurgan and Craigavon.
Landlord EICRs from £180 +VAT are steady work across the three towns, and the terraced stock keeps consumer unit replacements coming — pre-RCD boards brought up to standard before a charger or battery goes on.
Fault-finding in older wiring is methodical — test, isolate, prove, fix — and smart heating controls round off the list. One NICEIC firm, one set of certificates.
Portadown & Craigavon questions
Asked locally, answered straight.
Can solar go on a red-brick terrace in Portadown or Lurgan?
Usually yes, on the rear roof face. The survey checks the structure, the fixing method and the route for the DC cabling; a modest array and a battery can still cover a surprising share of a terrace's annual use.
Is an EV charger worth it if I commute on the M1?
That's the textbook case: overnight charging at home on a cheap rate costs a fraction of public charging, and a solar-aware charger uses surplus at weekends. From £625 installed, OZEV-approved.
Do you do workplace charging for businesses in Craigavon?
Yes — single bays to whole car parks, with billing and load management, and we handle the Workplace Charging Scheme paperwork. See our commercial EV charging page for how it works.
Do I need planning permission for solar here?
Most domestic solar is permitted development in Northern Ireland within size and position rules; listed buildings and conservation areas are the exception. We check before anything is ordered.
How does the NIE Networks connection work?
Systems up to 3.68 kW per phase are notified under G98 after install; larger solar-plus-battery systems need a G99 application approved first. We submit and chase it and design to any export limit they set.
