Fermanagh is the part of Northern Ireland where solar makes the biggest difference to a household budget, and it is not because of the sunshine. It is because so many homes around Enniskillen, Lisnaskea and the lakelands heat with oil, run on a single-phase supply at the end of a long line, and have the detached roof space to fit a proper system. EECO Energy installs across the county from our base in Newtownards, Co. Down, and we treat Fermanagh as a planned run rather than a one-off trip.
Below is what we have learned installing in the county: the grid limits that catch people out, why batteries matter more here than in Belfast, and what farms and rural businesses can do that town houses cannot.
Single-phase supply at the end of the line. A lot of Fermanagh houses are fed by a long rural NIE Networks line. That caps how much you can export without an application: 3.68kW on single phase. Bigger systems are still possible, but NIE need to approve them first and sometimes limit export. We handle that application and design the system so the energy you cannot export goes into a battery or your hot water instead of being wasted.
Oil heating. Most of the county is off the gas grid. That means a solar system paired with a battery and a hot-water diverter or heat pump takes a bigger slice out of your bills than in a gas-heated Belfast semi. For homes thinking about a heat pump, we size the array to carry it.
Detached homes and outbuildings. Fermanagh roofs are generous. Bungalows and two-storey detached houses around Irvinestown, Kesh, Derrygonnelly and Belleek typically fit 12 to 20 panels on the main house, and a shed or barn roof can take more. Ground-mounted arrays are an option where the field is handier than the roof.
Farms and agricultural buildings. Dairy, poultry and storage units run power all day, which is exactly when solar produces. We install on agricultural roofs across the county and can advise on three-phase connections and larger exports. See our agricultural solar page.
Weather. Fermanagh is wetter than the east coast and the figures reflect that, but the difference is smaller than people expect. Panels produce from daylight, not direct sun, and a well-sited system in the county still generates around 750 to 850kWh a year for every kW installed.
Off-grid. For holiday homes on Lough Erne and properties where a grid connection is expensive, we design fully off-grid systems with battery banks sized for winter.
LONGi, JA Solar and Canadian Solar panels with Solis or Tesla inverters. Tesla Powerwall 3, Dyness and Soluna batteries sized from your bills. Solar-aware EV chargers, hot-water diverters and maintenance on systems we fitted and systems we did not.
Enniskillen and the whole county: Belcoo, Belleek, Ballinamallard, Brookeborough, Derrygonnelly, Derrylin, Ederney, Florencecourt, Garrison, Irvinestown, Kesh, Lisbellaw, Lisnaskea, Maguiresbridge, Newtownbutler, Rosslea, Tempo and the Lough Erne shoreline. Postcodes BT74, BT92, BT93 and BT94.
We have customers across the county, from Enniskillen out to the lakeland villages and a number of farms. If you want to speak to someone near you who has had a system fitted, ask and we will put you in touch. Project write-ups for individual Fermanagh installs are being added as customers give us the go-ahead.
Yes. We group Fermanagh surveys and installs into runs so the travel is on us, not you, and it does not change the price. Our installers have been fitting in the county for years.
It limits how much you can export without approval, not how much you can generate. We submit an NIE Networks application for anything over 3.68kW and design the system so any export limit is covered by a battery or hot-water diverter.
Directly, through a diverter that sends surplus solar into your immersion so the boiler runs less in summer. Indirectly, by making a heat pump or electric heating affordable to run. Many of our Fermanagh customers cut oil deliveries to one or two a year.
Yes. We install on agricultural roofs across the county and handle three-phase connections. Daytime loads like milking, cooling and ventilation are a very good fit for solar.
No. Output is a little lower than on the east coast but a south-facing Fermanagh roof still produces 750 to 850kWh per kW installed each year, and the bigger roofs more than make up for it.
