Roof panels on ordinary estate houses are usually permitted development. The borough has conservation areas and listed buildings elsewhere, so confirm your address with Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council if the house is older than the surrounding estate.
Newtownabbey questions
My Newtownabbey house faces east and west. Is solar still worth it?
Usually, yes. An east-west split makes somewhat less in total than a due-south roof, but it spreads generation across the morning and evening, which suits a household that is up early and home after work. We model both slopes from your roof and bill before suggesting a size.
Can I put panels on a 1970s concrete-tile roof?
Yes, it is one of the easier jobs. Roof hooks go under the tiles to the rafters. At survey we check the tile condition, the batten spacing and the rafters, because brittle or damaged tiles are better dealt with before panels go on.
Will my Newtownabbey supply take a 7.4 kW EV charger?
We check at survey, not by guessing. We look at the main fuse, the consumer unit and the cable route from the driveway. Where headroom is tight we fit load management, which is included as standard, so the charger backs off before it trips your main fuse.
