Solar panels and battery installation

Solar panels with battery storage, professionally installed and maintained — supported by Northern Ireland’s leading energy provider. 

Powering Northern Ireland’s green future with you

Choosing solar isn’t just a smart decision for your home — it’s a step towards a greener Northern Ireland. 

By generating renewable energy where it's used, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and supporting smart energy use, you’re helping to create a more resilient energy system for our communities. Solar panels with battery storage allow you to power your home more efficiently, cut your electricity bills, and export unused energy back to the grid. 

This initiative supports the growth of greener homes across Northern Ireland. From installation to long-term support, everything is delivered through trusted local partners, while our electricity tariffs ensure your home stays connected to clean, smart, and affordable energy. 

How your home makes a difference 

  • Support the growth of greener homes across Northern Ireland 
  • Reduce your home’s carbon footprint and energy costs 
  • Take part in the transition to a greener Northern Ireland 
  • Use and store clean energy more effectively — including for EV charging

Every greener home helps move Northern Ireland closer to its sustainability goals — and yours can be part of it.

Find the right solar option for your home

We offer four flexible options to help you take control of your energy — whether you're starting your solar journey or looking to get more from the system you already have.


Solar panels only

Generate renewable electricity from your rooftop and reduce your reliance on the grid. A straightforward way to lower your carbon footprint and energy costs.

Solar panels and battery storage

Add a battery to store the energy you generate and use it when it benefits you most — like in the evening or during peak-rate periods. A smart choice for greater self-sufficiency and savings. 

Battery only

Already have solar panels? You can install a battery and take advantage of our green tariff. Charge the battery with solar during the day and use stored energy when it's most cost-effective. 

Sell your electricity

If your system generates more electricity than you use, you can export the excess back to the grid and get paid for it. You don’t need to be a Power NI electricity customer to join our export program. 



All options include expert installation and ongoing maintenance through our trusted local partner. Please note a hybrid inverter comes with all products, so if you choose not to opt for a battery right now, this can be added down the line at any point

Frequently asked questions

  • Yes you can. If your home is generating more electricity than it's using, the excess electricity is stored in the battery for future use at a time when your home needs more electricity. The battery then discharges to power your home. Please note adding a battery is an addition cost to our standard offer.
  • Our Home Energy tariff is available with a range of payment options. Choosing to pay by monthly Direct Debit, and getting your bill online, means you can save up to 6%* - however, other payment and tariff options are available, which may be more suitable for you.

    To view all Power NI tariffs, please visit our unit rate page.


     
  • A house that would be most suitable for solar panels is one that has a pitched roof (It’s best to install them at a 30 to 40-degree angle), enough unshaded space, and the roof is in good condition. The ideal roof orientation is south-facing, but east or west-facing roofs can also work. 
  • Power NI offer an annual fixed price for export generators up to 50 kW. The price is considered and approved by the Utility Regulator each year. Prices are subject to fluctuation each year due to market factors. To view our current rates please go view our Microgeneration options.
  • There is generally very little maintenance required with solar panels. But it is good practice to get your installation serviced every year to avoid any unwanted surprises and keep your panels and battery operating at the their best performance.
