South isn’t the only way. ☀️

Most people think solar only works on a south-facing roof. But east–west roofs can work really well too.

Here’s why: east-facing panels catch the sun as it rises, and west-facing panels catch it as it sets. Between them, your system generates from morning to evening, not just around midday.

That timing matters. Compared with a south-facing roof, east–west can give you more power at breakfast and teatime, when most homes use the most electricity.

Per panel, east or west produces a little less than south. But with panels on both sides of the roof, you can often fit a bigger system and generate for longer across the day.

This home is a great example, with panels on both roof slopes. 🏡

🏡 Solar that’s built into the roof, not just added on top.

In-roof solar panels offer a sleek, integrated finish, making them an excellent option for modern homes and new-build developments.

By incorporating solar at the construction stage, developers can plan for renewable energy from the outset, while homeowners can benefit from a roof that combines a clean aesthetic with the ability to generate their own electricity.

☀️ A seamless roofline
🏠 A modern, integrated finish
⚡ Renewable energy built into the design

☀️ Solar panels can do more than you think!

With a range of solar panels and battery storage systems now available, there are more options than ever for making the most of the electricity you generate at home.

🔋 And what about winter? Solar production naturally drops during the darker months, but a battery can still be useful. With the right electricity tariff, you can charge your battery from the grid overnight at a cheaper rate and use that stored electricity during the day.

⚡ This means your battery can help you make the most of cheaper electricity even when your solar panels aren't generating as much.

With domestic solar installations currently VAT-free in the UK until 31 March 2027, now is a good time to explore what's possible for your home.

What if your solar panels earned more than your electricity bill? ☀️

For one of our customers, they did, five months in a row.

Before solar, they were paying around £1,500 a year for electricity. Between November 2025 and October 2026, their total cost came to just £212.98 after export payments.

From April to August, their export payments were bigger than their bill every month, leaving them £74.56 in credit across those five months. August alone was £40.57 in credit.

Winter months still brought bills, with January the highest at £56.02. But across the whole year, the difference is clear.

Use your solar after the sun goes down ⚡

Recent Hinen home battery installs by the Solar Power NI team. Swipe to see each one.

What does a home battery actually do?

☀️ Stores spare solar: daytime energy you'd otherwise export to the grid.
🔋 Uses it later: in the evening, or whenever your panels aren't generating.
🏠 Less reliance on the grid: more of your electricity comes from your own roof.

16 SOLARWATT glass-glass panels, built for decades. ☀️

Another install complete in the Omagh area: 16 all-black SOLARWATT panels across two south-facing roof sections, with a Hinen inverter and battery and an eddi hot water diverter.

Why do we trust SOLARWATT? 👇

🔹 Glass on both sides. The double-glass design is highly resistant to weather and mechanical stress, and it reduces the risk of moisture getting in and of potential induced degradation (PID), two common causes of panels losing output over time.
🔹 30-year warranty. Product and performance cover, with at least 90% output guaranteed after three decades.
🔹 High efficiency. Advanced bifacial technology maximises energy generation, even in low light. Ideal for NI skies. ☁️
🔹 Smart-home ready. Works seamlessly with batteries and energy diverters, just like the Hinen battery and eddi on this install.
🔹 German engineering. Over 30 years of SOLARWATT expertise behind every panel.

As a SOLARWATT Premium Partner in Northern Ireland, we give you full access to SOLARWATT's top-tier products, backed by real local support. 💚

⏳ 0% VAT on home solar won't last forever.

Right now, homeowners in Northern Ireland pay 0% VAT on solar panels and battery storage. From 1 April 2027, that changes: 5% VAT will be added to residential solar and battery installations.

What does that mean for you?

Get your system installed before the deadline and you pay no VAT on your installation. Leave it until after 1 April 2027 and you'll pay 5% on top of the full cost of your system.

Why enquire now, not next spring?

A quality installation isn't rushed. There's a home survey, a system designed around your energy use, and then your installation slot. As the deadline gets closer, demand will rise and install diaries will fill up. Getting in early means you choose your date, not the other way round.

📖 Want the full details? Read our blog on what's covered, who qualifies and how to beat the deadline:

Don't make the decision based on price alone.

A solar PV system is going to be on your roof for decades, so it's worth looking past the number at the bottom of the quote.

The cheapest package isn't always the best investment. Cheap doesn't mean efficient, and a lower price today can end up costing more over the lifetime of the system if it means poorer performance, a weaker warranty, or no one to call when something goes wrong in year eight.

Before you choose an installer, it's worth asking:

❓ How long has the company been installing solar, and who actually carries out the work?
❓ What warranties are included — on the panels, the inverter, and the workmanship?
❓ How has the system been designed for your home, not just a standard package?
❓ What happens if there's an issue in five or ten years?

At Solar Power NI, we start with a proper understanding of your home, your roof, your energy usage, your goals before we design a system around it. We install premium products backed by premium warranties, because we want every customer to have real peace of mind for the full lifetime of their system, not just on installation day.

Choosing who installs your solar is just as important as choosing to go solar in the first place.
