Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Most Irish homeowners save between €400 and €900 per year on electricity bills after installing solar PV panels. With a battery storage system this can rise to €1,200 or more annually.

SEAI offers grants for solar panels (up to €2,400), heat pumps (up to €6,500), biomass boilers (up to €6,000), insulation, and more. The Better Energy Homes scheme covers most technologies.

Yes. Solar panels work on daylight not direct sunshine. Ireland receives enough solar radiation to make PV panels a very worthwhile investment, particularly in the south and east of the country.

Solar panels typically last 25 to 30 years. Heat pumps last 15 to 20 years. Biomass boilers last 15 to 25 years. All come with manufacturer warranties.

In most cases no. Solar panels on houses are exempt from planning permission in Ireland provided they meet certain size and placement conditions under the Planning and Development Regulations.
