When our Bangor customer wanted to cut rising electricity bills and reduce their reliance on the grid, they turned to Encom for a solution that delivered both savings and sustainability. We designed and installed a 6.09kW flat roof solar PV system with 14 Jinko 435W panels, a 3.6kW hybrid inverter and a 10kWh battery storage system. This setup is estimated to save £1,269 per year while storing surplus solar energy for use at night or during peak rates.
Here’s how this installation works and how similar systems could benefit you.
What is a flat roof solar panel system and is it right for my home?
A flat roof solar system uses specialised mounting frames to tilt panels at the optimal angle for maximum sunlight capture. This is ideal for homes where pitched roof space is limited or shading affects certain roof areas.
In this Bangor project, the customer’s flat roof allowed us to position the 14 Jinko 435W panels perfectly for year-round generation. These premium panels perform efficiently even in lower light conditions, making them a great choice for Northern Ireland’s climate.

Encom Advantage: We carry out a full on-site assessment to ensure your roof type, angle and orientation are optimised for solar performance before recommending a system design.
How does battery storage work with solar panels?
A battery storage system allows you to store any unused solar energy during the day and use it later, reducing reliance on the grid in the evenings or during peak-rate periods.
For this customer, the 10kWh battery provides enough stored energy to run essential appliances overnight. This not only reduces bills but also helps protect against future price rises. On sunny days, the stored energy can cover much of the home’s evening usage, meaning less dependence on the grid.
Encom Energy Advantage: We offer battery solutions that can be retrofitted to existing solar systems or installed alongside new panels for maximum efficiency and savings.
How much can you save with solar panels in Northern Ireland?
Savings depend on your system size, energy usage and tariff rates, but our Bangor customer can expect around £1,269 in savings in their first year. That’s money saved every year while protecting against rising energy costs.
Over 25 years, the panels will generate thousands of pounds in savings, making solar a strong financial investment as well as an environmental choice.
Encom Energy Advantage: We provide a personalised savings estimate before installation so you can see exactly how your investment will perform over time.
Are solar panels worth it for sustainability?
Absolutely. This system will help our Bangor customer cut their home’s carbon footprint significantly. Solar panels generate clean, renewable energy, reducing dependence on fossil fuels. With the added battery, less energy is wasted and more of it is consumed on-site.
Encom Energy Advantage: As ISO accredited, MCS certified and SEAI approved in ROI, we ensure all our systems meet the highest standards for performance, safety and environmental impact.
