Lisburn is the easiest place in Northern Ireland to put solar on a house. The city and its villages grew fast from the 1990s onwards, so a large share of homes in Lisburn, Hillsborough, Moira and Dunmurry are detached or semi-detached builds with wide, uncluttered roofs, modern consumer units and off-street parking. That makes for a quick install and a strong return. EECO Energy is 30 minutes away in Newtownards and Lisburn is one of our busiest areas.
This page covers what we see on Lisburn roofs, the commuter pattern that makes batteries and EV chargers worthwhile here, and the areas we cover across Lisburn and Castlereagh.
Modern roofs. Developments like those around Hillhall, Lagmore, Ballymacash and Moira typically have concrete tiles, trussed roofs and no chimneys in the way. A 10 to 14-panel system goes on in a morning. On the newest builds we check the roof covering, as some lightweight tiles need specific brackets, and we confirm the developer's warranty is not affected.
Commuter households. A lot of Lisburn works in Belfast. If nobody is home between 8am and 6pm, a system without a battery exports most of what it makes for a few pence a unit. A 10kWh battery or a Tesla Powerwall 3 holds the daytime generation for the evening, which is where the real saving is for a commuter home. We size the battery from your actual usage, not a rule of thumb.
EV charging. Driveways and commuting make Lisburn a natural fit for electric cars. We install solar-aware EV chargers that charge from surplus solar first, which turns a car into another battery for the house.
Hillsborough and conservation areas. Hillsborough village centre is a conservation area and has a number of listed buildings, as does Moira's main street. Listed buildings need consent, and in those conservation areas panels on a road-facing roof usually need an application to Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council. Everywhere else in the district, rooftop solar on a house is permitted development.
Grid. NIE Networks supply is generally strong in Lisburn and the villages, so export limits are rare. Systems over 3.68kW per phase, including most battery installs, still need an NIE application before fitting. We submit it as part of the job.
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.
Lisburn city and the whole council area: Aghalee, Annahilt, Ballinderry, Ballymacash, Carryduff, Derriaghy, Dromara, Drumbo, Dunmurry, Glenavy, Hillhall, Hillsborough, Lagmore, Lambeg, Maghaberry, Magheralin, Moira, Moneyreagh, Newtownbreda, Old Warren, Saintfield Road and Stoneyford. Postcodes BT27, BT28, BT26, BT67 and the Lisburn side of BT8 and BT17.
Lisburn and its villages are one of our busiest areas and we have customers in most of the estates listed above. 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 Lisburn installs are being added as customers give us the go-ahead.
Not when fitted correctly. We use brackets matched to your tile type, seal every penetration and provide the MCS certificate and electrical certificate the developer or NHBC would ask for. We fit on new builds every week.
For a commuter household it is usually the single biggest factor in the return. Without one you export most of your daytime generation for a few pence per unit; with one you use it yourself in the evening at full retail price.
Yes, and it is cheaper done together because the electrician is already there and the consumer unit is already open. We fit chargers that prioritise surplus solar.
On a listed building, yes. In Hillsborough village centre and Moira's conservation area a road-facing roof usually needs an application to Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council. Elsewhere in the district rooftop solar on a house is permitted development.
We are 30 minutes away, so survey slots are usually available within a week. The gating item is NIE Networks approval for systems over 3.68kW, which typically takes two to four weeks. Install itself is a day.
