Solar Panels in Armagh
We connect homeowners across Armagh with MCS-certified solar installers. The rural "Orchard County" is dominated by farmland and orchards, with detached rural housing that typically has more usable roof space than Belfast’s terraces.
Solar generation in Armagh
Using PVGIS irradiance data for Northern Ireland, a 4 kWp south-facing array in Armagh produces roughly 3,180 kWh per year. At the April 2026 Ofgem price cap of 24.50p/kWh, that covers £779 of electricity you would otherwise buy from the grid.
On top of bill savings, surplus energy exported to the grid earns Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) payments — typically 4–6p/kWh with the main suppliers, or up to 15p/kWh with specialist tariffs like Octopus Outgoing.
A typical 4 kWp system with a 5 kWh battery costs £7,000–£11,000 installed across Armagh. At current energy prices, most homeowners break even within 11–13 years.
Local grid: NIE Networks
Anywhere in Armagh, the grid connection for a new system goes via NIE Networks. Smaller systems (up to 3.68 kW) just need a G98 notification, while bigger ones need G99 approval — allow up to 45 working days for that. Either way, it's your MCS-certified installer's job, not an added fee.
