Solar panels are naturally most efficient on sunny days because of the direct sunlight being harnessed. However, even during bad weather conditions, solar panels will still generate power as solar cells are usually powered by light and not heat.
Solar PV Scheme Application Guide contains the following terms:
Conditions for the Scheme
Weather forecasts and algorithms that learn themselves.
SEAI will receive electronic copies of all documentation related to the installation.
Communities think about energy.
Solar energy is seen by the government as a way to broaden Ireland's sustainable energy mix. Therefore, they have put in place several incentives to encourage Irish consumers to switch to solar power.
Microgenerators can provide all or part of the energy needs of a home or business. Government Micro-generation Support Scheme allows those who have a microgeneration device registered to sell excess electricity back into Ireland's electrical grid. This scheme will allow households to reduce their carbon footprint while saving money.

Installing your solar system
The Sonnen Battery does not require an Internet connection
Like anything with a list of pros, there are also some cons to consider when deciding if solar is for you.
Industry reduces their energy consumption.
The BER certification is complete and all documents have been uploaded.
We’ll give you the documentation related to your installation and submit copies to SEAI electronically.
The battery stores the unused generated power from your solar PV array for later use, this ensures that you use practically all the power your PV has generated .The battery can also be set to charge on cheap-er night rate electricity which can then be used during the day for further savings. The Sonnen battery optimises self-consumption by using weather forecasting and self-learning usage algorithms to create an individual usage profile to maximise self-consumption in the home.
The government see solar energy as a long-term method of broadening the sustainable energy mix in Ireland so have several incentives in place to help Irish consumers switch to solar energy.
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.
