If you need to have an inspection, please call 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.
An average size Solar PV install would include 10 panels and a hot water diverter with average price of €7,975 (before grant) but is dependant on site survey for accurate quotation. The price after grant of €2,400 for this 10 panel (4.1kWp) system would be €5,575. All installs with deposits paid since 1st May 2023, will benefit from 0% VAT and Solar Share are committed to maintaining pricing following this an-nouncement. Once installed, you can save an estimated €1,190 each year (based on 2,280kWh of solar electricity being self consumed and 1,220kWh being exported to grid). At current electricity price of 41c/kWh and microgen rate of 21c/kWh, your investment payback is an estimated 5 years.
Reduce your energy bills and greenhouse gases by reducing the use of industry and community.
Microgenerators are able to provide a portion or all of an individual's energy requirements. The Govern-ment Microgeneration Support Scheme allows microgeneration devices to be registered and surplus electricity can then be sold back into Ireland's electric grid. This scheme allows households to save mon-ey while reducing their carbon footprint.
The cells on polycrystalline PV panels are formulated by melting together several fragments of silicon rather than a single silicon crystal like in mono-crystalline panels. Poly-crystalline panels are less efficient and usually need to be larger to generate enough energy but they’re also a cheaper option.
energy decisions possible. We can then make the best possible energy decisions.
If you're considering a solar PV installation with us, we recommend that you contact the SEAI.
The project must meet the eligibility criteria.
Sunlight is harnessed directly through the use of solar panels. Solar panels are made up of transparent photovoltaic (PV) glass as well as PV cells which are responsible for converting sunlight into electricity.
The minimum price for our solar PV system is EUR6,500. However, the solar expert performing your property inspection will be able give you advice based on the specifics of your situation.
Installing solar PV panels on your roof to produce renewable electricity can be made affordable with this grant.
Once fitted, the solar panels on your roof are connected to an inverter and in some cases a battery.
Be sure to read this guide before you invest in solar PV.
This time indicates that energy production will decrease on the basis of what the manufacturer consid-ers to be the optimal average production.Perhaps the most common question we get asked in relation to solar energy in Ireland! Thankfully, modern solar panels still work properly during cloudy, wet and rainy days.
More effective and efficient when compared to thin films and polycrystalline panels. Monocrystalline (MC) modules are made of a single silicon crystal. Being the most efficient and highest-quality panels, they’re also the most expensive.
Battery will be installed either in the garage or utility
Solar PV is installed on the roof of most solar share microgenerators. Your Solar PV installer will have submitted an NC6 to ESB Networks on your behalf. This form gives us the information needed to set up your account.
The dedicated solar hot water heating system can be a single tank (as illustrated above) or a dedicated solar tank can provide pre-heated water to a main hot water tank.

Savings from solar panels can vary greatly depending on several factors. On average, homeowners in Ireland could save around �200-�400 annually on electricity bills. It's important to note that savings will depend on factors such as solar panel efficiency, energy consumption, and sunlight exposure. 8 Feb 2023
Introduction. The Solar Electricity Grant provides a once-off grant towards the purchase and installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels for your home. It is administered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI). 24 Jul 2023
between �6,000 and �18,000 Professional installers will assess your property to look at how many solar panels you will need and if your current roof structure can accommodate the solar system. The average cost of solar panel installation in Ireland is between �6,000 and �18,000.
