SOLAR PV PANELS IN IRELAND
JINKO
One of our most popular panels for residential installs. Jinko panels have 30 year performance warranties, high efficiencies and look great on slate roofs with their all black design. This is one of the most affordable high performance panels on the market.

TW Solar
We use TW Panels for many of our ground mounted systems as they are glass glass. Bifacial panels generally have higher efficiencies and longer life spans and can increase generation from the both sides on ground mounted arrays and reflective roof surfaces.

AIKO
We use Aiko Panels on many of our commercial products due to their higher outputs and watt peak ratings. This allows us to be more competitive on pricing as the team handles less panels to get the highest kWp possible. AIKO ABC modules with Partial Shading Optimisation operate differently. Unlike traditional panels, AIKO panels can bypass individual shaded solar cells without affecting the entire string, ensuring continuous energy production from the rest of the panel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Types Of Solar Panels Are Available?
There are three main types of solar panels commonly used in Ireland: monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin-film solar panels.
Monocrystalline Panels: Monocrystalline> Made from single-crystal silicon, these panels are highly efficient and perform well even in low light conditions. They are generally more expensive but offer a higher power output.
Polycrystalline Panels: These are made from silicon crystals melted together, making them slightly less efficient but more affordable. They are suitable for homes and businesses looking for a balance between cost and efficiency.
Thin-Film Panels: Lightweight and flexible, these panels are made from materials like cadmium telluride or amorphous silicon. They are less efficient than crystalline panels but are useful in large-scale commercial applications where space is not a constraint.
Which Should I Choose?
Monocrystalline panels are typically the best choice for residential properties, while commercial installations might consider polycrystalline or thin-film based.
Do Solar Panels Need Much Maintenance?
Solar panels are fairly low-maintenance and just need the occasional cleaning and an annual check to keep them running at peak performance. Modern solar panels are highly durable, with many offering warranties of 25 years or more.
Will My Solar Panels Charge My Electric Vehicle (EV)?
Solar PV panels can be used to charge an electric vehicle. In fact, many households in Ireland are now pairing solar systems with home EV chargers for a more eco-friendly setup.
How Long Do Solar Panels Last?
Solar panels are designed to be long-lasting, with most systems offering a lifespan of 25 to 30 years.
How Much Energy Can Solar Panels Generate?
The amount of electricity generated by solar panels in Ireland depends on a few different factors like panel efficiency, system size, roof orientation and weather. On average though, a typical 4 kW domestic solar system can produce around 3,500–4,000 kWh per year.Commercial systems, which are generally larger, can generate significantly more power, helping to reduce operating costs and carbon footprint. Solar panels in Ireland are particularly effective from March to October when daylight hours are longer, but modern systems can still generate energy on cloudy days.
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.
Are Solar Panels Worth The Investment In Ireland?
Yes, solar panels are a worthwhile investment in Ireland for both residential and commercial users. The key benefits include reduced electricity bills, energy independence and a lower carbon footprint. With rising energy prices, the savings on bills can be substantial and the SEAI Solar PV grant can help with the upfront costs. The payback period typically ranges from 6 to 8 years for residential systems, depending on usage and system size. Commercial setups may see a quicker return on investment due to larger energy consumption. Additionally, Ireland’s increased focus on renewable energy makes solar a valuable addition for anyone looking to future-proof their property.
