Solar Photovoltaic panels (PVs) are a great way to generate renewable, clean energy in your home. They use daylight as a source of free, natural energy.
Solar PV panels for home use that generate renewable electricity.
If your system generates less energy than is required, the grid can also use the extra energy sent there to meet the deficit.
Solar PV is also known as Photovoltaic. It uses the sun’s energy to transform daylight into renewable electricity. You can then use the electricity in your home to reduce the need for energy. Solar PV systems that produce more electricity than the home requires can feed it to an immersion heater. Solar PV and Solar Thermal are not the same thing. Solar Thermal is a system that only heats water. Solar PV, on the other hand, provides you with free electricity as well as hot water. For more information, watch our pro-motional videos.

Back to the national grid
Recently, the Government cut the VAT rate on solar panels for supply and installation from 13.50% to 0%. We are pleased with this decision, and we will pass the full discount on to our customers. Our highly competitive supply and installation prices will remain unchanged. Ireland has taken another step in its journey towards cleaner, cheaper renewable energy.
US-backed research has shown that high heat may actually cause solar panels to work less efficiently. Nevertheless, today’s technology requires rigorous testing of solar panels to ensure high efficiency and effectiveness.
SEAI Solar Electricity Grant is relevant to you if we are installing your solar PV system.
There are three main types of solar PV panels most commonly found on the Irish market; thin-film PV panels, mono-crystalline, and polycrystalline PV panels.
Paying after this will take between 4 and 6 additional weeks.
SEAI grants can help individuals, small businesses, large industries, and communities reduce their ener-gy bills and greenhouse gas emissions.
You can learn how to maximise energy efficiency and save energy in your home by using the right appli-ances and products.
You can save money on your household appliances by choosing the right products.
You can calculate the amount of energy required to power your house, business or
After that, allow 4 to 6 weeks for payment. Inspections are not always required.
Microgenerators generate clean, renewable energy to meet some or all of the electricity demands of a household or business.The Government Microgeneration Support Scheme is now available so that those with a registered microgeneration device can sell any excess electricity back to Ireland’s electricity grid.This will help households reduce their carbon footprint and save money.
Installing a Heatpump can save you money.
Solar Share helps customers to make the best decisions.
Most solar share microgenerators have Solar PV installed on their roof. Your Solar PV installer would have registered an NC6 form on your behalf to ESB Networks. This form provides us with the information we need to set you up.
Payment can take up to six weeks. Inspect the property before paying.
�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
