We engage with schools, communities and individuals across Ireland in order to influence the way that your community views energy.
As a result, costs are falling and there are more varied options available to Irish solar customers.
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).
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.
*A solar PV system on average can save you over 50% on your electricity costs per year. This is based on a typical household consumption of 4200kWh/units. The approximate output of 8 Solar PV panels, or 3.2kWp is approximately. The solar PV panels can generate 2700 units per annum (2100kWh/units).
The grant is designed to help you pay for the installation of solar PV panels that will generate renewable electricity at home.
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.
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.
Solar energy systems can generate electricity in any climate. One of the disadvantages of solar energy is that it's subject to temporary weather disruption. Cloudy days reduce the amount of electricity you produce.
How Much Do Solar Panels Cost per kW System? System Size Estimated Costs Annual Savings on Electricity Bill 3kW panel system �5,000 � �6,000 �850 4kW panel system �6,000 � �8,000 �980 5kW panel system �8,000 � �9,000 �1,460 6kW panel system �9,000 � �11,000 �1,460+
A typical Irish home may require a 4kW solar system, typically comprised of 16-20 solar panels. However, this can vary depending on your specific needs, and our team at Going Solar will work with you to determine the appropriate size for your home. 10 May 2023
