This ensures optimum use of all solar electricity generated with any remaining energy flowing back to the grid.The energy generated can either be used to power appliances directly, stored in batteries, or sent back to the power grid for distribution to other places.

Private landlords and homeowners alike
There are SEAI grants up to €2,400 available to you right now. The recent Government decision to abol-ish VAT on the supply and installation of solar panels has now lowered costs too. On average it takes less than 5 years for your investment in a PV panel system to pay for itself.
Our engagement with schools in Ireland is changing the way they learn.
Of course, any power deficit can be comfortably met with battery-stored energy or from the excess en-ergy sent to the energy grid.
We engage with schools, communities and individuals across Ireland in order to influence the way that your community views energy.
Heat pumps are an alternative energy efficient home heating system to the conventional one. They can help you save on your electricity bills.
Communities think about energy.
Solar energy is a way for the Irish Government to expand its mix of sustainable energy. They have put in place several incentives to encourage Irish consumers to switch to solar.
All homeowners and private owners whose homes were built
The installation of solar panels on domestic properties is exempt from planning permission. Since the 7th of October 2022, there is no longer a limit to the area of solar panels which can be installed on rooftops of homes, anywhere in the country.

Solar energy is seen by the government as a way to broaden Ireland's sustainable energy mix. Therefore, they have put in place several incentives to encourage Irish consumers to switch to solar power.

The battery can be recharged with cheaper electricity in the evening
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 Share 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.
While solar panels do generate energy during cloudy and rainy days, they may not be enough to meet your home's energy requirements. Of course, any power deficit can be comfortably met with battery-stored energy or from the excess energy sent to the energy grid.
�2,400 The amount you get depends on the system size you have installed, measured by your solar panel's peak power output (in kW / kWp). �2,400 is the maximum grant. Larger installations still get this amount. Other things you get installed (such as batteries and immersion diverters) do not effect the amount of the grant.
Without a solar battery connected to your solar PV system, any excess energy generated would be fed back into the National Grid. Adding a solar battery to your system is an excellent and efficient way to preserve and use renewable energy, helping you maximise the energy you generate for your home. 6 Apr 2023
