How Leitrim is going solar

222 Leitrim homes installed grant-supported solar in 2025
25th of 26 counties for solar installations in 2025
3,643 kWh Typical annual output of a 4.2 kWp system in Leitrim
153 SEAI-registered installers serving the county (13 local specialists)

222 households in Leitrim completed a grant-supported solar installation in 2025 under the SEAI Solar PV Scheme — below the national county average, and the 25th highest count in the country out of 33,049 installations nationwide. Every one of those systems was fitted by an SEAI-registered installer like the ones listed above.

Our model estimates that a typical 10-panel (4.7 kWp) south-facing system in Leitrim generates around 4,058 kWh a year, with a modelled generation range of 3,653–4,464 kWh. The county adjustment is based on PVGIS output, where Leitrim ranks 20th of the 26 counties. That produces a modelled savings range of €690–€1,286 a year across different yield, tariff and self-consumption assumptions, with central savings of €985 a year and simple payback on first-year savings of 5.9 years. Battery storage, panel count and your roof's orientation all shift that number — which is exactly what a good installer quote pins down.

EnergyBase model uses the Leitrim PVGIS yield adjustment (0.959×), 35% central self-consumption without a battery, import at €0.35/kWh and export at €0.185/kWh. Savings range varies yield, tariffs and self-consumption assumptions.

Leitrim solar questions, answered

What homeowners in Leitrim ask before going solar.

How much do solar panels cost in Leitrim?

Our estimate model puts a typical 10-panel (4.7 kWp) system at €7,650 before the €1,800 SEAI grant, or €5,850 after it. The displayed estimate range is €4,800–€6,900. Prices in Leitrim follow the same model — your roof, system size and whether you add a battery can change the result. Comparing at least 3 quotes is the reliable way to find out what your home costs.

How many solar installers work in Leitrim?

153 SEAI-registered solar installers currently serve Leitrim, including 13 local specialists focused on the county and its neighbours. All of them are listed (and filterable) on this page.

Do I need planning permission for solar panels in Leitrim?

In almost all cases, no. Since 2022, rooftop solar on houses is exempt from planning permission across Ireland, with limited exceptions near protected structures and in some solar safeguarding zones. Your installer confirms this during the site survey.

Is the SEAI grant available in Leitrim?

Yes — the SEAI Solar Electricity Grant (up to €1,800) is available nationwide, including Leitrim, for homes built and occupied before 2021. Your installer typically handles the paperwork.

How do I choose between installers in Leitrim?

Look for an SEAI registration (everyone on this page has one), strong recent Google reviews, a few years of trading history, and a detailed written quote. We've written a full guide on choosing a solar installer — and getting multiple quotes is the single best protection.
