Solar Panels in Tyrone
We connect homeowners across Tyrone with MCS-certified solar installers. Northern Ireland's largest county is mostly rural upland and farmland, with the Sperrins bringing more shading variability than the flatter counties further east.
Solar generation in Tyrone
Drawing on PVGIS irradiance data for Northern Ireland, a south-facing 4 kWp system in Tyrone is expected to generate around 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 Tyrone. At current energy prices, most homeowners break even within 11–13 years.
Local grid: NIE Networks
Across Tyrone, solar installations connect to the grid via NIE Networks. A G98 notification covers anything up to 3.68 kW; larger systems need G99 approval instead, which can take up to 45 working days. Both are handled by your MCS-certified installer as standard, at no extra cost.
About Tyrone
