What Our Customers Say
Five stars for Solar PV Panels Ireland! They recently installed a 10 kW system (22 panels) and 16 kWh of Sigenergy battery storage at my home.
Joe Reilly, the owner and lead engineer, was onsite both days. He treated our home with the utmost respect, delivering an incredibly clean, neat, and tucked-away installation. Meanwhile, Claire Connolly made the administrative side effortless, handling everything from quotes and grants to the final BER assessment.
Joe and his team did a fantastic job on our solar installation. From start to finish, the work was completed efficiently, and the site was left spotless. It has been nearly two years since the installation of our 20-panel ground mount system and 10kw battery (We completed a concrete base ourselves) We are delighted with the impact on our energy costs. Having an Air to Water heating system, we previously faced extremely high electricity bills. In 2025, we only had to pay for 1.5 bills, both occurring during the winter months.
I’m extremely happy with my solar installation from Solar PV Ireland. From the initial contact to project completion, everything was handled professionally, clearly, and efficiently. The quotes were detailed and well-presented, and I received a wealth of useful information throughout the process. Joe Reilly was outstanding — knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to explain all my options, including future upgrades like a DC charger and backup power. On installation day, the team arrived on time, and both the roofers and electricians were highly skilled, helpful, and professional.
We recently had an off‑grid solar system installed by Joe and the team at Solar PV Panels Ireland – 42 panels and a 50kW battery to power our van and electric bikes. The whole process was smooth from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout, and Joe was always easy to reach when we had questions. The system is working perfectly and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Highly recommend this team for their expertise and great service!
Our experience with Solar PV Panels Ireland was very good, from our initial contact to the completion of the work. They answered any queries we had in advance of the work, they came on the date and the time that they said they would, they were very professional, very curtious, explained what they were doing, and okayed anything that might impact us (e.g. where was the best place to locate battery). I can’t fault anything, would definately recommend.
The team at Solar PV Panels Ireland installed 22 Solar panels and a 10kw battery at our house in Longford town recently. We are one month post install and are absolutely thrilled with the results. Even at this time of year (March) this system will cover our full electricity usage, with this likely to improve as the summer months come in. The install was very professionally finished, with Joe and team arriving here at 8am and finishing all works by 5pm. The work is very tidy and Claire in the office was super helpful with numerous quotes based on discussions before we went ahead. I couldn’t recommend Solar PV Panels Ireland enough, excellent service!

Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Solar PV Panels and How Do They Work in Ireland?
Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels convert sunlight into electricity, even on cloudy Irish days. They produce direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted into alternating current (AC) for home use via a solar inverter. In Ireland, solar PV panels are becoming a popular choice for homeowners looking to lower their energy bills and reduce their reliance on fossil fuels. These systems operate efficiently year-round, making them ideal for the Irish climate.
How Much Do Solar Panels Actually Cost in Ireland?
The average cost of a solar PV system in Ireland ranges from €7,000 to €10,000 after applying SEAI grants. The final price depends on the size of the system, the need for battery storage, and the brand of panels and inverters used. While the initial cost can seem high, long-term energy savings and government support make it a smart investment.
What Grants Are Available for Solar Panel Installations in Ireland?
The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) offers a Solar Electricity Grant of up to €1,800 for eligible homeowners. Your home must be built and occupied before 2021, and the system must be installed by an SEAI-registered installer. These grants significantly reduce upfront costs and help accelerate payback periods for residential systems.There are also grants available to help Irish farmers install solar panles on farms across Ireland.
Do I Need Planning Permission to Install Solar Panels On My Home?
Most homes in Ireland no longer need planning permission to install rooftop solar PV panels. This includes systems on homes, farms, schools, commercial premises and community buildings. However, there are some conditions related to panel size and placement that must still be followed.
How Much Can I Save On Electricity Bills With Solar Panels?
A well-sized solar panel system can reduce your electricity bills by up to 60% annually. Homes that include battery storage or optimise their daytime usage see even greater savings. These reductions help insulate households from rising energy costs and create long-term financial benefits.
What Is The Payback Period for Solar Panels in Ireland?
The average payback period for a solar PV system in Ireland is between 5 to 7 years, depending on the system size, energy usage, and grant support. After this period, the electricity your system generates is essentially free for the remainder of its 25+ year lifespan. This makes solar panels one of the most cost-effective home energy upgrades available.
Do I need a battery to go solar in Ireland?
No, you don’t have to have a battery, but adding one can increase the benefits of your solar system. Without a battery, you’ll use the energy generated by your panels in real time, and any excess power will be sent to the grid. However, if you add a battery storage system, you can store any extra energy for later use, like at night or on cloudy days. This allows you to maximise the use of your solar energy and save even more on electricity costs.
Can I Sell Excess Electricity Back to the Grid?
Yes, under Ireland’s Microgeneration Support Scheme, you can receive payments for any unused electricity exported to the grid. For example, Electric Ireland currently pays 19.5c per kilowatt hour (kWh) for excess generation. This provides an additional revenue stream that shortens your payback period and improves the return on your solar investment.
Are Solar Panels Effective in Ireland’s Climate?
Even in Ireland’s often grey and overcast weather, solar PV panels will produce substantial electricity, about 75% of total annual output is generated between May and September. Modern solar technology is designed to function efficiently in diffused sunlight, making it perfectly suited to Ireland’s mixed weather.
What Types of Solar Panels Are Available in Ireland?
In Ireland, homeowners typically choose between monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin-film panels. Monocrystalline panels are the most efficient and space-saving which makes them ideal for residential roofs. The type you choose will depend on the size of your roof and your individual budget and needs.
Can Solar Panels Power My Electric Vehicle (EV)?
Solar PV panels can indeed be used with an EV charger, letting you charge your electric vehicle with clean, renewable energy. This not only cuts your fuel costs dramatically but also further reduces your overall carbon footprint. Many Irish households are now pairing solar systems with home EV chargers for a more eco-friendly setup.
Where In Ireland Do You Install Solar Panels?
We install solar panels for homes and businesses all over Ireland, including in Longford, Meath, Roscommon, Galway, Offaly, Laois, Sligo, Westmeath, Kildare, Mayo and Dublin. If you’re interested in installing pv solar panels then please get in touch to discuss your options.
How long does the solar panel installation process take?
Installing solar panels is a fairly quick process. The on-site installation itself usually only takes 1–2 days for a standard home system. And the bulk of the work is completed outside so there is very little disruption for the homeowner. But be aware that the whole process can from signing a contract and submitting grant applications to having your system up and running will typically a few weeks. Most residential projects are completed within 4–8 weeks from the time you place an order to the moment your panels are generating power.
How long do solar panels usually last in Ireland?
Solar panels are built to last a long time. The average lifespan of solar panels is about 25 to 30 years, and many panels continue to produce energy beyond that. Over time, the efficiency of your solar panels will gradually decrease, but they’ll still generate electricity. It’s worth noting that most solar manufacturers offer warranties for 20-25 years, so you’ll have peace of mind knowing your investment is protected.
