For your solar panel system to work effectively, the ideal roof is south-facing and unshaded, particularly from other trees or buildings. There needs to be approximately 25 square metres of clear roof space. The system charges in daylight and not just in sunshine, as often thought. Surprisingly, a solar system in Northern Ireland will produce the equivalent of 70% of what it would  generate in the Mediterranean, so we just put up extra panels to reach the level of generation  you need.

We use high quality panels and inverters and only use Tier 1 Rated Panels which are the highest standard in the world

The sun rises every day. That’s why solar power is a completely renewable, reliable and clean energy source. It reduces your reliance on dirty sources of power such as oil, coal and natural gas, which produce harmful emissions affecting our health and environment.

In addition to PV solar panels, our batteries are becoming more affordable, accessible, resilient and efficient. They provide peace of mind and energy security for you when the power goes out or the next storm strikes.

Unlike those from your Utility Electricity Provider, Solarstream customers pay predictable, affordable rates for 25 years. With home solar, you get to control your energy future.

Your historical electricity usage allows us to design a solar system that is the right size for your needs. Electricity usage varies from person to person and from season to season. That is why we request a full year of your electricity bills so we can build a system that is right for you.

After you switch to Solarstream, you won’t notice a difference. Your lights, appliances, televisions and everything else that uses electricity will work exactly as they did before.

The one key difference you will notice after switching to Solarstream  is in how you pay for your power. You will still continue to receive a monthly bill from your utility supplier . If you are on  the ‘Pay as You Save’ scheme with Solarstream you will have a monthly bill with Solarstream as well. If you are buying the system upfront you will notice your bill dropping and seeing the  savings every month.

How much energy you end up having to buy from your utility supplier  will depend on the size of your solar system and how much electricity you’re actually using.

Because of weather and seasonal changes, your  bill will vary from month to month. But you’ll always know exactly what you owe Solarstream for the duration of our agreement.
