At Solar Power NI, we’ve always believed that renewable energy is most powerful when it delivers real, measurable change. Not just promises, not just projections, but systems on roofs, power flowing through buildings, and carbon emissions that simply never happen.
As we look back on 2025, it feels right to pause and take stock of what that belief has translated into over the past year.
Across homes, farms and commercial sites throughout Northern Ireland, in 2025, we delivered 1,191.52 kW of installed solar capacity. In simple terms, that figure represents the combined size of every solar system we’ve designed and installed. It’s a meaningful milestone, and one we’re genuinely proud of.
What matters more than capacity, though, is what that solar does once it’s switched on.
Together, these systems will generate around 2.25 million units of clean electricity every single year. That’s energy produced locally, at the point of use, reducing reliance on the grid and insulating customers from ongoing energy price volatility. It’s also electricity that doesn’t come with the environmental cost of fossil fuels attached.
The carbon impact is significant. Based on standard emissions factors, this level of generation helps prevent approximately 262,088 kilograms of CO₂ emissions every year. That’s carbon that stays out of the atmosphere, year after year, for the lifetime of the systems we’ve installed.
Behind those figures are hundreds of individual decisions to do things differently. Businesses choosing to invest in long-term resilience rather than short-term fixes. Homeowners taking control of their energy costs. Organisations making tangible progress towards sustainability targets rather than relying on offsets or paperwork.
2025 has reinforced something we see time and again: solar isn’t a future technology. It’s a present-day solution delivering dependable returns right now. The systems we install today will still be generating clean power decades from now, quietly compounding their value with every passing year.
As we head into the next chapter, our focus remains the same. Design solar systems properly. Install them to last. Be honest about performance, savings and suitability. And keep doing the unglamorous, practical work that turns ambition into impact.
The numbers tell a strong story for 2025. What excites us most is how much more there is still to do.
