Solar panels, batteries and EV chargers in Craigavon
The Craigavon, Lurgan and Portadown corridor has a dense cluster of light industrial units: flat and shallow-pitch commercial roofs where solar payback is often faster than domestic because consumption is daytime-heavy.

Planning and permissions
House roofs are usually permitted development. Commercial arrays and industrial buildings are treated differently, so we confirm with Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council what applies to your building before we quote. Lurgan and Portadown have listed buildings in their older centres, so check with the council if your building is listed.

Craigavon questions
Is a flat industrial roof in Craigavon strong enough for solar?
It depends on the structure, not the area. We carry out a structural loading assessment before specifying either a ballasted or a mechanically fixed system, and we will tell you plainly if a roof needs strengthening first.
Why is commercial solar often a better payback than domestic?
Because a business uses power while the sun is up, and with no Smart Export Guarantee in Northern Ireland, the value is in the electricity you use on site. We design to your daytime load profile, from your meter data or bills, rather than to the roof area.
Does a Craigavon unit need G99 approval?
Almost certainly, since commercial arrays quickly exceed the 3.68 kW per phase limit for the simple G98 route. We submit the NIE Networks application and manage it, and NIE Networks aims to issue a connection offer within three months, with works to follow.
