Newry sits in one of the sunnier parts of Northern Ireland. The south-east coast from Warrenpoint round to Kilkeel gets more bright hours than the north and west, and the Mournes shelter the lower ground from the worst of the Atlantic weather. Add the mix of older townhouses in the city, newer estates on the hills above it and detached rural homes across South Armagh and South Down, and there is a lot of good roof. EECO Energy installs throughout the area from our base in Newtownards, about an hour up the A1.
This page covers the local specifics: the terrain and shading around the city, the coastal housing in Warrenpoint and Rostrevor, and the areas we serve.
The valley. Newry city centre sits low between hills, and streets like those around Daisy Hill, Windsor Hill and the Armagh Road are stepped up steep ground. That gives some roofs an excellent clear south aspect and leaves others shaded by the hill or the terrace above in winter. A survey matters more here than in flat areas; we model the shading for your specific roof before we quote a figure.
Coastal housing. Warrenpoint, Rostrevor and Kilkeel have a lot of older homes with slate roofs and salt-air exposure. We use marine-grade fixings and aluminium rail, specify panels with a proper salt-mist rating, and keep the inverter inside rather than on an exposed wall.
New estates and rural homes. The developments around Carnbane, Derrybeg and the Camlough Road have modern roofs that take 10 to 14 panels easily. Out in Crossmaglen, Bessbrook, Mayobridge and Hilltown, detached houses and farms have the space for 16 to 20 panels, and often a need for a battery because of long rural NIE lines.
Planning. Rooftop solar on a house is permitted development across Newry, Mourne and Down. Listed buildings need consent, and in the Rostrevor and Warrenpoint conservation areas panels on a road-facing roof usually need an application to the council first. We check before we quote.
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.
Newry city and the whole of South Down and South Armagh: Annalong, Attical, Bessbrook, Camlough, Carnbane, Castlewellan, Crossmaglen, Derrybeg, Forkhill, Hilltown, Jonesborough, Kilkeel, Mayobridge, Meigh, Mullaghbawn, Newtownhamilton, Poyntzpass, Rathfriland, Rostrevor and Warrenpoint. Postcodes BT34, BT35 and the southern end of BT30 and BT31.
We have customers through Newry, along the coast to Kilkeel and out across South Armagh. 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 Newry installs are being added as customers give us the go-ahead.
Yes, right up to it, including Forkhill, Jonesborough and Crossmaglen. We install in Northern Ireland only, as the grid connection and certification schemes are different in the Republic.
One of the better ones in NI. The south-east gets more bright hours than the north and west. The thing to watch in the city itself is winter shading from the hills, which we model for your roof during the survey.
Not with the right kit. We use marine-grade fixings, aluminium rail and panels tested to the salt-mist standard, and we site the inverter indoors. Coastal installs are routine for us along the Down coast.
Not for most houses. Listed buildings need consent, and in the Rostrevor and Warrenpoint conservation areas a road-facing roof usually needs an application to Newry, Mourne and Down District Council. We check your address before quoting.
About an hour. It does not change the price, and we group surveys and installs in South Down and South Armagh into runs so you get a prompt slot.
