(Meeting the eligibility requirements).
Allow 4 to 6 weeks after that for payment. If an inspection is necessary, this time will be extended.
The government views solar energy as an important way to diversify Ireland's energy mix. The govern-ment has put into place a variety of incentives in order to encourage Irish consumers switch to solar power.
Add additional batteries if your needs change.
You can expect to pay around EUR6,500 for one of our PV solar systems. But the solar expert who con-ducts your property assessment will be in a position to give you specific advice based upon your circum-stances.
The amount of electricity that you need for your home or business.
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.
A good quality broadband connection is necessary to monitor how much power your home is using. Once installed the homeowner can review both the live and cumulative energy usage in the home on the free energy app from their smartphone.
Reduce your energy consumption.
What you can do to increase the energy efficiency of your appliances?
SEAI can provide grants to cover costs.
If you're considering a solar PV installation with us, we recommend that you contact the SEAI.
The payment of your application will only be processed after all documents have been uploaded, and the BER certification has been completed and published by you BER assessor.
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.
Heat pumps can be an energy-efficient alternative to home heating
The payment comes in the form of a credit on your electric bill.

Solar panels cost depends on how many solar panels you need.
�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.
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
