Why your Leitrim price is what it is

The Leitrim-specific
cost factors.

All our prices nationwide are based on the same labour and panel rates. Where Leitrim differs from Longford or Roscommon is in three specific local cost drivers — and we show them transparently.

Scaffold rental
€210–€275

Below the all-Ireland midpoint — rural Leitrim has lower scaffold rental costs than urban counties.

Scaffold is 2-day rental during install. Included in your fixed-price quote.

Panel choice for Leitrim
Longi Hi-MO 6 430W

Our default panel for Leitrim based on Connacht distributor stock, warranty terms (25-year linear + product), and Tier-1 status. Longi Hi-MO 6 430W beats competitors on west-coast availability and salt-air tolerance.

Substitutable on request: Longi, SunPower, Trina, Risen — all priced identically.

Inverter lead time
11 days

From order to delivery in Leitrim: 11 working days. Above the all-Ireland average due to Connacht distance from our main warehouse. We order at quote acceptance to compress this.

Sungrow / SolaX / GoodWe hybrid inverters stocked. EV-ready models available.

Wind & salt hardware
Class 3 · salt low

Standard wind-rated mounting (KSeven Solo or Mounting Systems S:FLEX) — wind class 3 in Leitrim is within the standard kit spec.

Galvanised mounting hardware is fine across Leitrim — minimal salt exposure inland.

Cost FAQ · Leitrim

Cost questions,
Leitrim-specific answers.

All the cost questions Leitrim homeowners ask before signing. Numbers below reflect actual Leitrim scaffold rates, panel brands and inverter lead times — not all-Ireland averages.

A 4 kWp solar PV system installed in Leitrim costs €9,503 fully fitted, or €7,403 after the €2,100 SEAI grant. Range across Leitrim sizes: €4,872 (2 kWp net) up to €12,915 (8 kWp net). Leitrim's scaffold rental range (€210–€275) and standard mounting hardware are baked into these figures.
Three local factors push our Leitrim fixed prices right on the all-Ireland midpoint: (1) scaffold rental in Leitrim is €210–€275 (Dublin and east-coast urban counties are highest; rural west is lowest). (2) Wind class 3 dictates the mounting hardware grade. (3) Salt exposure (low) determines whether we use galvanised or stainless steel fixings.
For Leitrim installs we default to Longi Hi-MO 6 430W — chosen for logistics (our nearest distribution warehouse stocks this brand for Connacht), warranty terms (25-year linear + product), and Bloomberg Tier-1 status. We can substitute Longi, JA Solar, SunPower, Trina or Risen on request — all priced identically.
Inverter delivery to Leitrim takes 11 working days from order. Leitrim is one of our longer lead times due to Connacht logistics — we order at quote acceptance to compress the timeline. The full install schedule from quote acceptance to commissioning typically runs 25-35 days.
Every fixed-price Leitrim quote we issue includes: Longi Hi-MO 6 430W panels, hybrid inverter, standard mounting hardware, scaffolding (rental €210–€275, included), all electrical works, Safe Electric (RECI) cert, ESB Networks NC6/NC7 notification, the SEAI grant application + tracking, a Carrick-on-Shannon-area BER reassessment coordinated with a local SEAI-approved assessor, and 25-year panel + 10-year workmanship warranty.
Major roof repairs, fuse-board upgrades (only ~5% of pre-2000 Leitrim homes need this), tree pruning, off-grid systems, asbestos cement roof replacement, and apartment-block systems (need management company approval — separate scheme). If your survey flags any of these, we issue an addendum BEFORE work begins. Battery storage is also optional — +€4,200 for a 5 kWh unit.
Yes. We partner with several Irish credit unions and An Post for 0% finance over 5 years for Leitrim homeowners. Monthly payment on the typical €7,403 net install: around €132. Average Leitrim household monthly ESB savings: €87. Net cash impact from month 1: −€45.
Our peak demand month in Leitrim is June. Booking in January-February typically means an install in June (4-6 week schedule). October-December bookings get January installs — quietest months with the shortest lead times. SEAI grant approval (11 working days for Leitrim) is the same year-round.
