Add additional batteries if your needs change.
We are engaging with schools across Ireland and changing the way communities think about energy.
Naturally, solar panels work best during summer months, with less solar energy produced during winter months. The main reason for this is how long the sun shines (as much as 18 hours a day in summer and as little as 8 in winter months) and how high the sun is in the sky (again, much lower during winter).

Solar Battery Systems can be added to Solar PV systems to maximize savings and store energy for future use. If you have a Home Electric+ time-of-use Smart Meter plan, batteries can be programmed at a lower night rate.
Conditions of the Scheme
When was your electricity meter installed?
You can schedule an inspection at any time.
SEAI grants benefit homeowners, businesses and communities
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.
This time will need to be extended.
If a thorough examination is required, a second inspection might be necessary.
Prices for solar panels and solar energy systems vary according to
We will send electronic copies to SEAI.
Like anything with a list of pros, there are also some cons to consider when deciding if solar is for you.
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.
The Irish government has put several incentives into place to encourage Irish consumers switching to solar energy.
Installing the panels will be done to the highest standard. A tutorial will follow so that you feel comforta-ble with Solar PV.
Solar PV Scheme Applicant Guide contains terms.
�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.
Feed-in tariff for non-domestic solar installations These non-domestic solar installations, will get �0.135/kWh in 2023. 28 Mar 2023
between �6,000 and �18,000 Professional installers will assess your property to look at how many solar panels you will need and if your current roof structure can accommodate the solar system. The average cost of solar panel installation in Ireland is between �6,000 and �18,000.
