Why your Longford price is what it is

The Longford-specific
cost factors.

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

Scaffold rental
€210–€275

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

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

Panel choice for Longford

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

Inverter lead time
9 days

From order to delivery in Longford: 9 working days. Standard Leinster lead time.

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

Wind & salt hardware

Cost FAQ · Longford

Cost questions,
Longford-specific answers.

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

A 4 kWp solar PV system installed in Longford costs €9,503 fully fitted, or €7,403 after the €2,100 SEAI grant. Range across Longford sizes: €4,872 (2 kWp net) up to €12,915 (8 kWp net). Longford's scaffold rental range (€210–€275) and standard mounting hardware are baked into these figures.
Three local factors push our Longford fixed prices right on the all-Ireland midpoint: (1) scaffold rental in Longford is €210–€275 (Dublin and east-coast urban counties are highest; rural west is lowest). (2) Wind class 2 dictates the mounting hardware grade. (3) Salt exposure (low) determines whether we use galvanised or stainless steel fixings.
For Longford installs we default to Longi Hi-MO 6 430W — chosen for logistics (our nearest distribution warehouse stocks this brand for Leinster), 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 Longford takes 9 working days from order. Standard one-week lead time for Leinster. The full install schedule from quote acceptance to commissioning typically runs 25-35 days.
Every fixed-price Longford 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 Longford-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 Longford 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 Longford homeowners. Monthly payment on the typical €7,403 net install: around €132. Average Longford household monthly ESB savings: €89. Net cash impact from month 1: −€43.
