Your neighbours are saving thousands
Don't take our word for it. Here's what Irish homeowners are saying after making the switch.
"The year before solar our electricity bill was €3,100. First year with solar? €100. Best decision we've made in years — honestly wish we'd done it sooner."
"I was terrified of cowboys after reading the horror stories. These lads handled everything — SEAI grant, ESB paperwork, the lot. Installation done before lunch. Can't recommend it enough."
"Haven't paid an electricity bill since May. The panels are flying it even on cloudy days. Three neighbours have asked for our installer's number already!"

Straight answers, no jargon
Everything Irish homeowners want to know before going solar. Still have questions? Just ask when you request your quotes.
How much do solar panels actually cost in Ireland?
A typical 10-panel system (4 kWp) costs about €6,500 before the grant, or roughly €4,700 after the SEAI knocks €1,800 off. Prices range from €5,000 to €15,000 depending on how many panels you need and whether you add a battery. Our advice? Get at least 3 quotes and compare — that's exactly what we help with.
Am I eligible for the €1,800 SEAI grant?
If your home was built and occupied before 2021, you almost certainly qualify. You need an MPRN number (your electricity meter reference) and must use an SEAI-registered installer. There's no means testing — it doesn't matter what you earn. The grant is applied directly to your quote, so you pay the reduced amount.
Do solar panels actually work in Ireland? It's always cloudy!
This is the most common myth and it's completely wrong. Solar panels work with daylight, not direct sunshine. Ireland gets enough light for panels to generate 900-1,100 kWh per kWp per year. Over 33,000 Irish homes installed solar in 2025 alone. As one Cork homeowner put it: 'Until they're on the roof it's hard not to doubt, yet here we are on an overcast day, generating electricity.'
How long until the panels pay for themselves?
Typically 5 to 7 years for a standard system without a battery. With electricity prices rising 12% again recently, payback periods are actually getting shorter. After you break even, you're generating free electricity for the remaining 18-20+ years. That's a 300-400% return on your investment.
Should I get a battery? Everyone seems to have a different opinion.
It depends on when you use electricity. If you're out all day and use most power in the evenings, a battery stores your daytime generation for later — that's worth it. If you work from home and use power during the day, you might not need one yet. Batteries add €2,000-€4,000 and extend payback by 2-3 years. Our installers will give you honest advice, not upsell you.
My roof faces east/west, not south. Is it still worth it?
Absolutely. An east/west setup generates about 80-85% of what a south-facing roof produces. Many Irish homes with east/west roofs get brilliant results. In some cases, it actually gives more consistent power throughout the day. Don't rule yourself out because of orientation — it's one of the biggest misconceptions out there.
How do I know I'm not getting a cowboy installer?
This is a real concern — there are chancers in every industry. Here's what to check: verify their RECI number on Safe Electric, search the SEAI registered installer list, look for real Google/Trustpilot reviews, and ask for references. A legitimate installer will happily provide all of these. Every installer in our network has been verified.
Can I sell excess electricity back to the grid?
Yes! Under the Microgeneration Support Scheme, your electricity supplier must pay you for any surplus you export. Rates currently range from 15c to 32c per kWh depending on your supplier. The first €400 per year is tax-free. You'll need a smart meter — ESB Networks installs these free of charge.
