Why Choose Solar PV for Your Home?
Own Your Own Power and Save on Bills
Solar PV panels let your home or business generate its own electricity, cutting reliance on the grid and shielding you from fluctuating energy prices. Surplus power can be sold back to the grid, while a battery stores excess energy for later use. You can even add a hot water diverter to use extra electricity for heating water and charge your electric vehicle for free.
Improved BER Rating
Solar panels boost your Building Energy Rating (BER) by cutting energy use, reducing carbon emissions, and enhancing efficiency. A high BER means lower energy bills, a smaller carbon footprint, and increased property value.
SEAI Grants Incentives
Great news! You could be eligible for SEAI incentives that can significantly lower your installation costs. With grants of up to €2,100 for homes, you can reduce your payback time and make your solar system more affordable. It’s the perfect boost to kickstart your solar journey!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are solar panels?
The term ‘solar panel’ can refer to a wide range of solar technologies. It is often used interchangeably between the panels that generate electricity and those that generate heat. Solar panels which produce electricity are referred to in the industry as ‘solar photovoltaic (PV) modules.
These are panels made from materials which generate DC electricity when exposed to light. When considering purchasing solar panels it is important to consider whether you would like a system which generates electricity (solar PV panels) or a system which heats water (solar thermal panels). The questions in this document are all in relation to the electricity generating panels.
How much electricity will solar panels generate?
The amount of electricity generated annually will depend on a range of factors including the hardware chosen, size of system, the geographical location and the direction in which the panels are installed.
With the most common silicon solar panels typically 1 sq. m of panels will generate ~150W of power on a clear sunny day (that’s enough to power a laptop computer).
A home solar PV system sized at 20 sq. m (~3kW) would generate around 2,600kWh of electricity a year if well-located, over 40% of the typical annual electricity demand of an Irish home.
Do solar panels work in Ireland?
Yes, solar PV systems will still generate electricity when there is daylight, so they will still function on overcast days in Ireland.
In these conditions they will not be able to produce power at their maximum rated capacity (the figure in kilowatts (kW)), rather at some fraction of this figure.
Solar panels will perform at their best in direct sunlight and therefore solar PV systems in Ireland will typically produce less than other, sunnier countries such as Spain.
As mentioned above, a home solar PV system sized at 20 sq. m (~3kW) would generate around 2,600kWh of electricity a year if welllocated, over 40% of the typical annual electricity demand of an Irish home.
How much do solar panels cost?
The cost of purchasing and installing solar panels has come down considerably over the last 10 years.
The cost of a solar PV system depends on a range of factors including the hardware chosen, size of system, accessibility of the roof or site, and the installer used.
Broadly speaking home PV systems should range from around €1,500 – €2,000 per kW installed (ex-VAT), but prices will vary depending on the factors mentioned above.
Are solar panels right for my home?
There are a variety of considerations when determining whether or not solar panels are right for your home.
Some thought must go into how much of the generated electricity you will use as this will affect how economic it is as a solution for your home.
Solar PV systems generate electricity only during daylight hours, predominantly around the middle of the day when you may be at work. Also, around 75% of the annual energy from a solar PV system is produced from May-September.
You need to consider how much of the generated electricity you will use in your home, based on the pattern of generation from the solar PV system, and the pattern of energy usage and occupancy for your house.
Without any additional systems, a lot of the generated electricity can be spilled (exported) to the grid, and there is currently no mechanism for homeowners to claim a payment for this (see question 2.9).
You also need to consider if your roof is suitable for solar PV considering the age and condition, the orientation of your house, and any potential shading from nearby trees or buildings.
The best rooftops for maximising electricity generation are those that are south-facing, in good condition and with minimal shading from trees or adjacent structures.
Finally, it is worth considering other options to improve the energy performance of your home, such as insulation, draught-proofing, improved windows, boiler controls, or some other renewable generating technology. Speaking to a BER assessor is a good first step.
Do I need planning permission to install solar PV on my roof?
Larger solar PV systems on domestic rooftops will typically require planning permission.
Solar PV systems installed in a domestic setting under 12 sq. m (and representing less than 50% of the total roof area) are exempt from planning.
