We handle everything
You sign once. We file the rest.

Questions
Home solar — straight answers
How much do solar panels cost for an Irish home?
A typical 4–5 kWp home system costs roughly €7,000–€9,500 before the €1,800 SEAI grant and 0% VAT. The free survey gives you an exact figure for your roof, not a guess.
What grant can I get for home solar?
Homes can get up to €1,800 from the SEAI, plus 0% VAT on supply and install. We prepare and submit the SEAI application as part of the job.
How long until it pays for itself?
Most Irish home systems pay back in roughly 5–7 years depending on your usage. Panels are warrantied for decades beyond that — the rest is profit.
Do panels work in Irish weather?
Yes — panels run on daylight, not heat. They generate on grey days too, and Ireland's cool climate actually helps them run efficiently. Your system is sized for real Irish conditions.
Is a battery worth it?
If you're out during the day and use most of your power in the evening, usually yes. We'll show you the numbers with and without a battery at survey and let you decide.
Can I sell power back to the grid?
Yes. The Clean Export Guarantee pays roughly 15–25c per kWh for electricity you export, and the first €400 a year is tax-free. We set up the export registration with your supplier.
