Who We Are
An independent comparison service for NI homeowners
Connor McAuley
Founder, Compare Solar NI
Connor built Compare Solar NI to give homeowners across Northern Ireland clear, honest information about solar energy. He works directly with MCS-certified installers across all six counties, using real pricing data to write every guide on this site. When we say a 4kW system costs £6,000 to £8,000 in Northern Ireland, that reflects quotes our partner installers have provided to NI homeowners, not national averages or estimates pulled from English postcodes.
Compare Solar NI is an independent comparison service. We are not an installer. We do not sell panels. We exist to give you the information and the choices you need to make a confident decision.
Our guides use real pricing data from our network of MCS-certified installers. We update these figures regularly so the information stays useful, not just optimistic.
We believe the solar industry in Northern Ireland is genuinely good for homeowners, but only when you have clear information and fair prices. That is what we are here to provide.
Our Mission
Making solar simple and transparent
Solar panel prices vary widely in Northern Ireland, and it can be difficult to know if you are getting a fair deal. We created Compare Solar NI to solve that problem.
When you request quotes through our service, we match you with up to 3 MCS certified solar installers in your area. They contact you directly with free, no-obligation quotes, and you choose the best option for your home and budget.
By comparing multiple quotes, homeowners typically save £800 or more. That is money back in your pocket, simply for taking two minutes to compare.
