What's included

One price. The whole job.

  • Design and modelling. Generation figures for your actual roof pitch, direction and shading — before you commit.
  • Quality kit. All-black panels with 25-year performance warranties, paired with Hinen, Sigenergy or EcoFlow storage.
  • Installation and certification. Fitted and tested by NICEIC-approved electricians to BS 7671 — not a subcontracted crew.
  • Paperwork and export. NIE Networks connection notification and paid export set up as part of the job.
  • Handover. Monitoring app on your phone, warranties registered, certificates in your inbox.

How it works

Survey to switched-on, in four steps.

Survey

A proper look at your roof, loft, board and usage — not a guess over the phone.

Design & quote

A fixed price with modelled generation and payback for your actual roof.

Install

Typically one to two days on site. Tidy work, tested and NICEIC certified.

Handover

App set up, export payments sorted, paperwork filed. Aftercare that answers the phone.

The grid paperwork

G98, G99 and the fast track — handled.

Every solar system in Northern Ireland has to be registered with NIE Networks before or after connection, depending on size. It sounds bureaucratic because it is — so we do all of it for you.

G98 — connect and notify

Smaller systems, up to 3.68 kW of inverter output per phase, fall under G98: we install, energise and notify NIE Networks afterwards. No waiting for approval — most standard domestic systems fit here and connect the day they're finished.

G99 & the fast track — bigger systems

Above the G98 limit — bigger hybrid inverters, larger batteries — a G99 application goes to NIE Networks before energisation. For typical domestic sizes there's a fast-track route that shortens the wait considerably. We prepare, submit and chase the application, and design your system so the paperwork route never becomes the bottleneck.

Energy Networks Association (ENA)Connect Direct G98 and G99 applications go in through ENA Connect Direct — the industry platform NIE Networks sits on — so your connection paperwork is filed properly and tracked, not posted and prayed for.

Hot water diverters

Don't sell your sunshine for pence. Heat your water with it.

On a bright day your panels make more than the house is using. Export pays buttons; hot water costs real money. The myenergi eddi watches that surplus and sends it into your immersion heater instead of the grid — free hot water on every decent day, fitted by the same team that fits the panels.

  • Fitted with the array or added later — one visit either way, certified with the rest of the system.
  • Works with the immersion heater you already have — no new tank, no plumbing.
  • Part of the myenergi family — pairs with a zappi charger and the app, so the car and the cylinder share the surplus.

Bird protection

Pigeons love solar panels. Yours won't get the chance.

The warm, sheltered gap under an array is prime nesting territory — and nesting birds mean mess on the panels, damaged cabling and noise at 5am. We fit discreet bird protection mesh around the edge of the array, clipped to the panel frames rather than drilled, so it keeps the wildlife out without wrecking the look of the install.

  • Clipped, not drilled — no holes in panels or roof, no warranty arguments.
  • Barely visible from the ground — dark mesh that follows the array edge.
  • New installs or retrofit — we can mesh an existing array too.

Straight answers

Solar questions, answered honestly.

How long does a solar installation take?

Most domestic installations take one to two days on site. Scaffolding usually goes up a day or two before, and we test, certify and hand over the monitoring app before we leave.

Do solar panels work in winter?

They generate less in winter, but they still generate — panels run on daylight, not heat. We design around the whole year: a battery and paid export make summer surplus cover winter shortfall.

Will panels work on my roof?

Most slate, tile and metal roofs are fine, and east-west roofs often perform better than people expect. The survey confirms the fixing method and the structure before anything is ordered.

What maintenance do solar panels need?

Very little — there are no moving parts. Rain does most of the cleaning in NI, and the monitoring app flags any drop in output so problems get caught early, not years later.
