A typical 4.5 kWp system on a 3-bed home is €9,800 — minus the €2,100 SEAI grant brings it to €7,700. Most homes pay it back in 6–7 years.
Yes — Ireland gets enough irradiance for solar to be profitable. Your panels generate even on cloudy days, just at lower output. We size every system using your specific location's irradiance data.
€2,100 grant for systems up to 2 kWp installed (€700/kWp). We file the application for you — most grants are approved within 10 working days. Your home must be built before 2021.
Yes, but a much smaller one. The standing charge stays (~€20/month) but your unit consumption can drop 70–90% with battery. Many customers actually receive payments from ESB in summer.
No — since 2022, rooftop solar is exempt from planning permission for most Irish homes. We'll confirm during the survey.
25 years on panels (performance + product), 10–12 years on inverters, 10 years on batteries, and 5 years on workmanship. We back every install ourselves — not a third party.
