Our energy choices are important to protecting the environment and the people that we care about. Choose energy wisely to protect our planet and the people we love.
Thin film solar panels are produced via the spraying of a thin layer of semiconductor material over an-other surface made of either glass, plastic, or metal. They are incredibly thin (around 20 times thinner than traditional c-Si semiconductor wafers) making them flexible and lightweight.

The battery can be recharged with cheaper electricity in the evening
CSP technologies produce electricity by focusing sunlight to produce heat and drive an engine connect-ed to a generator. They’re usually found in countries with year-round sunshine, so are less common in Ireland.Given the constraints of CSP, solar PV panels are more popular in terms of demand, affordability and reliability for Irish homeowners and businesses.

The eligibility requirements.
The date of the installation of the electricity meter is used to calculate the grant.
Installing your solar PV system
The grant will help with the cost of installing solar panels at your home for renewable electricity.
The cost of solar panels will vary depending on the building.
The original capacity of the battery will not fall below 70% after 10,000 recharge cycles.
When we install the Solar battery in your home, it is usually placed as close to the main electrical distri-bution board as possible. The location will be agreed beforehand with the homeowner. Installation typi-cally takes one day to complete. Most of the work will be in the area of the distribution board, minimizing any disruption.
Installing solar PV panels on your roof to produce renewable electricity can be made affordable with this grant.
How much energy do you need for your home, office or
Please allow up to six weeks for the payment. Additional time may be required if a thorough inspection is needed.
Most solar shares have solar PV installed on their roof
All homeowners (including private landlords) whose homes were constructed and occupied before the year 2021 are eligible to apply.
We engage with schools, communities and individuals across Ireland in order to influence the way that your community views energy.
Solar Share helps customers make better decisions about solar energy
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.
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.
25 to 30 years The industry standard for most solar panels' lifespans is 25 to 30 years. Most reputable manufacturers offer production warranties for 25 years or more. The average break even point for solar panel energy savings occurs six to 10 years after installation.
