Solar PV (also called Photovoltaic) uses sunlight to produce renewable energy. This electricity can be used in the home and reduces your dependence on energy suppliers. Solar PV systems can produce more energy than is needed by a household. The excess energy can be used to power your immersion heater. Solar PV should not be confused with Solar Thermal. Solar Thermal only heats the water, while Solar PV provides free electricity and hot running water. Click here to watch our promotional video for more information.
All the documentation related to your installation will be sent to you.
This is based on the estimated costs of installation, self consumption and annual solar production from a south-facing roof in Dublin City. Savings based on an average electricity rate (41c/kWh) and a microgen-eration rate (21c/kWh) that is exported. All prices are calculated at 0% starting 1st of May 2023.
The solar expert who inspects your property will be in a position to give you a number of useful tips.
Solar Share helps our customers to make better choices about energy, protecting our planet and the people who matter most. Discover more about sustainable living with our comprehensive sustainability guide.
Data on solar consumption, both historical and current data.
This grant is based on the date the electricity meter was installed, and it is different from other grants where the home must have been constructed before 2011.
A typical Solar PV installation would consist of 10 panels, a hot-water diverter and an average price of EUR7.975 (before grant). However, the exact quote is dependent on a site survey. After grant of EUR2,400, the price for this 10 panel system (4.1kWp), would be EUR5,575. Solar Share will maintain pric-ing for all installations with deposits paid after 1st may 2023. Installed, you could save up to EUR 1,190 per year (based upon 2,280kWh solar electricity that is self-consumed and 1,220kWh exported to the grid). With the current electricity rate of 41c/kWh compared to microgen's 21c/kWh you can expect a return on investment of approximately 5 years.
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.
You can learn how to maximise energy efficiency and save energy in your home by using the right appli-ances and products.
If you’re on our microgeneration tariff, when your excess electricity is sent back to the grid, we’ll pay you (in the form of a credit on your bill).Almost all systems installed in Ireland are grid-connected as a solar system will rarely deliver the full electricity requirement for a home for a full year.
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.
Most important is that you get the grant for solar power.
Our solar installers will produce a report for your home using bespoke software that uses your location to determine the potential output of your system. Determining factors include, location, system size and roof orientation; south-facing is best but east-west orientation also works very well.
You can expect to pay around EUR6,500 for one of our PV solar systems. But the solar expert who con-ducts your property assessment will be in a position to give you specific advice based upon your circum-stances.
Many MC panels fitted also use a new technology called PERC Technology (Passive Emitter and Rear Cell) designed to capture reflected light at the rear of the panel to improve efficiency.
Prices for solar panels and solar energy systems vary according to
Below we've laid out an estimation of potential annual savings and payback periods for solar panel in-stallations.
Microgen export plan allows you to sell surplus solar energy back to the national grid.
Savings from solar panels can vary greatly depending on several factors. On average, homeowners in Ireland could save around �200-�400 annually on electricity bills. It's important to note that savings will depend on factors such as solar panel efficiency, energy consumption, and sunlight exposure. 8 Feb 2023
Feed-in tariff for non-domestic solar installations These non-domestic solar installations, will get �0.135/kWh in 2023. 28 Mar 2023
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.
