The cost of installing solar panels in Ireland varies depending on system size, your roof, and any optional extras like battery storage. A typical 4kW system costs €7,000–€9,000, with an SEAI grant of up to €1,800, bringing the net cost to around €5,200–€7,200.

This investment often pays for itself in 6–10 years through reduced electricity bills and export payments under the Microgeneration Support Scheme (MSS).

Over 20+ years, homeowners can save thousands, while increasing energy independence and adding value to their home.

Yes, for Irish homeowners, solar is a smart investment. It lowers electricity bills, increases energy independence, adds value to your home, and SEAI grants help reduce upfront costs. Most systems pay for themselves in 6–10 years.

Not strictly—but for many Irish homeowners, it’s a smart long-term investment. Solar helps cut energy bills, protects against rising prices, qualifies for a €1,800 SEAI grant, reduces your carbon footprint, and can boost home value. It’s a practical choice if you plan to stay in your home long term..

Technically yes, but it's not recommended. To qualify for the €1,800 SEAI grant, your system must be installed by a registered SEAI installer. DIY installs may not meet safety, insurance, or grid connection standards. Hiring a certified installer ensures compliance, safety, and grant eligibility.

Choose a SEAI-registered installer, ensure the system size matches your energy needs, and check your roof suitability. Look for strong warranties, consider battery storage, and make sure it offers good value with a 6–10 year payback. Smart monitoring and MSS export payments are a bonus.
