The government sees solar energy as a means to expand Ireland's mix of sustainable energy. They have therefore put in place a number of incentives to encourage Irish customers to switch to solar energy.
Above is based upon estimated installation costs, annual solar production and self-consumption from a roof facing south in Dublin City. Savings are based on the average electricity price of 41c/kWh, and the microgeneration rate which is 21c/kWh. All prices have been calculated at 0% from 1st May, 2023.
SEAI provides grants that can help cover the costs of the project (subjective to meeting the requirements for eligibility).
Many MC panels fitted also use a new technology called PERC Technology (Passive Emitter and Rear Cell) designed to capture reflected light at the rear of the panel to improve efficiency.

The average Solar PV system would have 10 panels with a hot water diverter. Its average cost is EUR7,975 before grant. However, an accurate quote will depend on the site survey. This 10 panel (4.1kWp system) would cost EUR5,575. Solar Panel Quotes has committed to maintain the pricing of all installs that have deposits paid by 1st May, 2023. You can save approximately EUR 1,190 a year once installed (based on solar electric-ity self consumption of 2,280kWh and exporting 1,220kWh to grid). Your investment will pay off in ap-proximately five years at the current electricity rates of 41c/kWh.
Battery can be charged with cheaper electricity at night and used in the day to save even more. Sonnen batteries optimise self-consumption using weather forecasts and self-learning algorithms.

Remotely fix problems online. Software updates, which are free of charge, should also be performed reg-ularly.
We engage with schools, communities and individuals across Ireland in order to influence the way that your community views energy.
The SEAI solar electricity grant is most relevant if you’re considering getting a solar PV system installed with us.
The date that your electricity meter is installed is what counts. This is not the same as other grant measures, where the house must have been built before 2011.
We have calculated the savings based on estimated installation costs, solar generation from a south-facing roof and a certain level of self-consumption and export.
This function allows you to test out the functionality of your system.
SEAI will receive all documentation electronically your installation.
SEAI Grants help businesses, homeowners, communities and large industry reduce their energy consumption and greenhouse gases.
Investing in solar panels can be a smart choice for households and businesses looking to reduce their electricity costs and embrace renewable energy. The above savings are a result of customers reducing the amount of electricity they need to purchase from their electricity supplier/. Please note that you will still pay the same amount on your electricity bill for standing charges and for the Public Service Obligation, but you will reduce the unit rate amount (the amount of electricity consumed).

The best brands of solar panels offer reliability, efficiency, and strong warranties. Popular brands in Ireland include SunPower, LG, and Panasonic. Choosing a reputable brand ensures better performance and long-term support for your solar installation.
To qualify for the SEAI solar panel grant, your home must have been built and occupied before 2021. The installation must use new materials and be carried out by a registered installer. A post-installation Building Energy Rating (BER) assessment is also required to confirm the improvement in energy efficiency.
Installing solar panels in Ireland offers several benefits, including reducing electricity bills, decreasing carbon footprints, and increasing property value. Solar energy is a renewable resource, helping homeowners contribute to a sustainable future while potentially earning from feed-in tariffs.
