Thermal energy has various everyday uses like heating your home during cold weather or heating water with solar energy instead of traditional gas boiler and immersion systems. Other popular applications of solar energy include things like powering security and lighting systems, electrifying fences, and aerating garden ponds.

Once the publication has been made, you may submit a payment request.

Solar PV systems with 10 panels and a diverter for hot water are the most common. The average cost of the system is EUR7.975 (before grant). The site survey will determine the exact quote. This 10 panel sys-tem (4.1kWp) would cost EUR5,575. Solar Share has agreed to keep the same pricing for all installations that have paid deposits by May 1, 2023. Once installed, you can save up to EUR 1,190 per year (based on self-consumption of solar electricity of 2,280kWh plus exporting 1,220kWh into grid). At the current elec-tricity rate of 41c/kWh, your investment will be repaid in about five years.
We must make energy choices to protect our planet and the people we love. We need to make energy choices that protect the planet and people we care about.
When sunlight hits the solar panels, electronic flow is activated in individual solar panels and the result-ing electric current is referred to as direct current (DC). The electricity used to light our homes, charge electronic devices and electric vehicles, is usually in alternating current form (AC).
Current and historical data as well as a projection for solar consumption are included.
Solar PV panels will allow you to generate electricity from renewable sources at home.
Meeting your energy needs with your own installed solar energy system will cut your energy bills. The amount saved by the system depends on its size and the energy demands of your home; the current recommendation from the SEAI is that a solar system should be sized to cover a maximum of 70% of annual electricity usage.
Energy is a major concern for communities.
Learn how to export excess solar power to the grid via our Microgen Export Plan.
*A typical solar PV system will save 50% of the electricity consumed by a home, which is 4200kWh/units. Approx. 8 x Solar panels or 3.2kWp can generate. 2700 units/year (2100kWh/units).

Before you invest in solar PV, familiarise yourself with the contents of the Solar PV Scheme Application Guide which includes the Terms and Conditions of the scheme.
Heat pumps are a more efficient alternative to conventional heating.
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.
