What matters in Antrim
- Roofs and wiringThe land by the lough is flat and open, so exposure and wind loading on outbuildings and farm roofs deserve attention. Larger arrays on smallholdings usually mean checking whether the property has a three-phase supply, which most homes do not.
- Getting to youAntrim is reached from Larne by way of Ballynure and Ballyclare or the motorway. Surveys, installs and aftercare all run from our Larne base.
Planning and permissions
Roof panels on ordinary houses are usually permitted development. Antrim has listed buildings and a historic town centre, and Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council is the authority for both. Ground-mounted arrays on rural land generally need permission.

Antrim questions
Is Antrim a good place for a 30 kWp farm roof?
It can be, if the building has a sound structure and the farm uses power in the daytime. We assess the roof, check the supply and design to your load. A shed that runs fans, pumps or refrigeration all day suits a large array better than one that sits idle.
Do Antrim homes have three-phase supply?
Most do not. Three-phase is rare in Northern Ireland houses, though common on farms and commercial units. It matters because 22 kW charging and larger solar systems are only practical on three-phase, so we check your supply at survey before recommending either.
Do you cover Crumlin, Randalstown and Templepatrick?
Yes, they are served from Larne with the rest of Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough. Tell us your address when you enquire so we can check the journey and the council area.
