A: Yes! Solar panels can significantly lower your electricity bills, increase your home’s value, and reduce your carbon footprint. In Ireland, most systems pay for themselves within 6–10 years, with savings continuing for decades.

A: Absolutely! Solar panels work even on cloudy days and Ireland’s daylight hours are sufficient to generate energy year-round, making them ideal for our climate.

A: The solar panel cost in Ireland typically ranges from €5,000 to €12,000 for a residential system, depending on the size and energy requirements. The SEAI grants can significantly reduce this cost.

A: Yes, the SEAI Grant offers grants of up to €1,800 for domestic solar installations, helping reduce your solar panel cost and making clean energy more affordable.

A: Most residential installations take 1–2 days. A site assessment is often required beforehand to determine the suitability of your roof for solar panels.

A: It depends on your energy use and the size of the system. Most solar panels can offset a significant portion of your electricity, especially during the day when sunlight is available.

A: You can export excess energy back to the national grid and receive payment under the Microgeneration Support Scheme (MSS), helping you earn from your solar investment.

A: In most cases, no. Solar panel installations are generally considered exempted development in Ireland, unless you live in a protected structure or conservation area.

A: Solar panels require very little maintenance. They are built to last 25+ years and need only occasional cleaning and a routine system check to ensure optimal performance.

A: Yes! Adding a battery storage system lets you store excess energy for use at night or during power outages, giving you more independence from the grid.
