Does pharma sector Scope-3 pressure drive PV uptake here?
Absolutely — Almac and the wider NI pharma supply chain audit CO2e reporting aggressively for global healthcare customers. On-site PV produces the Scope-2 evidence supplier and regulator programmes require, ahead of REGO-only strategies.
What array sizes do Silverwood / Carn food-processing units support?
Modern portal-frame poultry and food-processing units at Silverwood and Carn routinely carry 500 kWp–1.5 MWp ballasted east-west arrays. Continuous chilled and processing load produces self-consumption above 90%.
Is NIE Networks capacity a constraint in BT63?
The mid-Ulster network has reasonable headroom after recent reinforcement. G99 (NI equivalent) with default export limitation clears comfortably for sub-MWp; multi-MW warrants an early network study.
How does Invest NI grant funding stack with UK tax reliefs?
Invest NI Energy Efficiency Capital Grants stack with Full Expensing on the same PV capex. Combined effect can lift post-tax IRR by 3–4 percentage points versus grant-free equivalents, subject to intensity limits.
How wide is mid-Ulster coverage?
Portadown, Lurgan, Bleary, Waringstown, Tandragee, Banbridge and along the M1 into Belfast and out to Dungannon are all routine. The Northern Ireland team handles surveying, install and monitoring across ABC postcodes.
