We are in a unique position to provide you with specific advice, based on your particular circumstances.
It is not like other grants that require the home to be built.
After all documents are uploaded, your BER certification will be issued.
Allow 4 to 6 weeks after that for payment. If an inspection is necessary, this time will be extended.
The solar expert who inspects your property will be in a position to give you a number of useful tips.
A thin film panel may last for over ten years, which is usually less than the average crystalline panel. However, with consistent technological advances improving the durability of thin films, they could soon reach a twenty-year lifespan.
Paying after this will take between 4 and 6 additional weeks.
Advice on your specific circumstances
Solar PV Scheme Applicant Guide contains the terms and conditions for the scheme.
Thermal energy has various everyday uses like heating your home during cold weather or heating water with solar energy instead of traditional gas boiler and immersion systems. Other popular applications of solar energy include things like powering security and lighting systems, electrifying fences, and aerating garden ponds.
How to save energy and maximise energy efficiency is something you can learn.
The government see solar energy as a long-term method of broadening the sustainable energy mix in Ireland so have several incentives in place to help Irish consumers switch to solar energy.
energy decisions possible. It helps us to protect the planet and all its inhabitants.
All homeowners (including private landlords) whose homes were constructed and occupied before the year 2021 are eligible to apply.
Our PV solar panels cost around EUR6,500.
Payment can take up to six weeks. Inspect the property before paying.
The amount of energy you need to power your home, business or other building will determine how much you spend on solar panels.
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. Savings are based on Bord Gáis Energy’s standard unit rate for Urban 24-hour electricity at 48.19c/kWh (incl. VAT) and a microgeneration export rate of 18.5c/kWh from your electricity supplier.
This grant is based on the date the electricity meter was installed, and it is different from other grants where the home must have been constructed before 2011.
Our comprehensive guide to sustainability will help you learn more about living sustainably.
Once all the documentation is uploaded and your BER cert has been published, you can submit a pay-ment request.
around �10,000 - �12,000 The average cost of a 5kW photovoltaic system in Ireland is around �10,000 - �12,000. This includes the cost of the solar panels, equipment, and installation. However, it's important to note that this is just a rough estimate, and the final price will depend on the specific factors mentioned above. 29 Jan 2023
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels are generally installed on a roof and use the energy from the sun to power any electrical appliance in your home, including electric radiators. 17 Jan 2023
25 to 30 years The industry standard for most solar panels' lifespans is 25 to 30 years. Most reputable manufacturers offer production warranties for 25 years or more. The average break even point for solar panel energy savings occurs six to 10 years after installation.
