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.
The Irish government has put several incentives into place to encourage Irish consumers switching to solar energy.

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.

Solar PV systems with 10 panels and a diverter for hot water are the most common. The average cost of the system is EUR7.975 (before grant). The site survey will determine the exact quote. This 10 panel sys-tem (4.1kWp) would cost EUR5,575. Solar Share has agreed to keep the same pricing for all installations that have paid deposits by May 1, 2023. Once installed, you can save up to EUR 1,190 per year (based on self-consumption of solar electricity of 2,280kWh plus exporting 1,220kWh into grid). At the current elec-tricity rate of 41c/kWh, your investment will be repaid in about five years.
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.
