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 panels convert sunlight straight into usable electricity. They even do it on dull Irish days. They produce something called direct current (DC) electricity. This then gets converted into alternating current (AC). This can now be used in your home. The solar inverter makes this possible. In Ireland, solar PV panels are quickly becoming a very popular choice for homeowners. Some people are just looking to lower their energy bills. And some people also want to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels. These systems operate super efficiently all year-round. This makes them perfect for the Irish climate.
How Much Do Solar Panels Actually Cost in Ireland?
The average cost of a solar PV system in Ireland goes from about €7,000 to €10,000. This is after applying SEAI grants. The final price at the end depends on the size of the system. It also depends on if you need battery storage and the brand of panels and inverters used. Even though the initial cost can seem high, long-term savings and government support can make it such a good overall investment. A good first step is to use our solar panel calculator to get a rough estimate.
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. This is only for eligible homeowners. Your home has to be built and occupied before 2021. The system must be installed by an SEAI-registered installer like ourselves. These grants lower the upfront costs a lot and help speed up the payback period.There are also grants available to help Irish farmers install solar panels on farms across Ireland.
Do I Need Planning Permission to Install Solar Panels On My Home?
Most homes in Ireland don’t need planning permission anymore to put up rooftop solar panels in Ireland. This includes solar panel systems on homes, farms and schools. It also is the same for commercial solar panel installations and community buildings. But be very careful. There are still some conditions about the panel size and placement that you must follow and stick to.
How Much Can I Save On Electricity Bills With Solar Panels?
A good size solar panel system can slash your electricity bills in Ireland by up to 60% a year. Homes that go for a battery as well or optimise their daytime usage see even more savings again. These reductions, even if they seem small will protect future you from rising energy prices. It is important to think about the long term financial perks.
What Is The Payback Period for Solar Panels in Ireland?
The average payback period for a solar PV system in Ireland is usually somewhere between 5 to 7 years. It really depends on a lot of factors though. The system size, energy usage and grants obtained. After you get to this point, the electricity your system generates is completely free power. And you have this for the rest of its 25+ year lifespan. Solar panels are easily one of the most cost-effective home energy upgrades that exist in Ireland today.
Do I need a battery to go solar in Ireland?
No you don’t have to have a battery. But its good to know that adding one can increase the benefits to having solar panels in Ireland. If you don’t have a battery, you’ll use the energy generated by your panels in real time. Any extra power will be sent to the grid then. If you do add a battery storage system, you can store any extra energy for later use. For example at night or on cloudy days. This allows you to get the most out of your solar energy and save even more on electricity costs!
Can I Sell Extra Electricity Back to the Grid?
Yes you can. This is because of Ireland’s Microgeneration Support Scheme. You can receive payments for any unused electricity exported to the grid. For instance, Electric Ireland currently pays 19.5c per kilowatt hour (kWh) for excess generation. This gives you another additional revenue stream. it will also shorten your payback period and improves the return on your solar investment.
Are Solar Panels Even Effective in Ireland’s Climate?
Even in Ireland’s grey and overcast weather, solar PV panels will produce a good amount of electricity. Roughly about 75% of total output a year is generated between May and September. But modern solar tech is designed to function really well in diffused sunlight. This makes it perfectly suited to Ireland’s mixed and unpredictable weather we all know so well.
What Types of Solar Panels Are Available in Ireland?
Homeowners typically choose between monocrystalline, polycrystalline and thin-film panels in Ireland. Monocrystalline solar panels are the most efficient. They also are small and save a lot of space. That makes them good for residential roofs. The type you choose will depend on the size of your roof. Other factors will include things like budget and energy consumption.
Can Solar Panels Power My Electric Vehicle (EV)?
Solar PV panels can indeed be used with an EV charger. They let you charge your electric vehicle with clean, renewable energy. This slashes your fuel costs and reduces your overall carbon footprint even more. Plenty Irish households are now pairing solar systems with home EV chargers. This is a more eco-friendly setup.
Where In Ireland Do You Install Solar Panels?
We install solar panels for homes and businesses all over Ireland. Some counties include 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 many options.
How long does the solar panel installation process take?
Installing solar panels is a fairly quick process surprisingly. This is another reason its a favourable home upgrade. The on-site installation itself usually only takes 1–2 days. This is for a standard size home system. And the bulk of the work is completed outside so theres actually very little disruption for the homeowner. Be aware though, that the whole process can take longer. From signing a contract and submitting grant applications to having your system up and running. It will probably take a few weeks. Most residential projects we do usually are completed within 4–8 weeks from the time you book in. All the way to the moment your panels are generating power and saving you money.
How long do solar panels usually last in Ireland?
Solar panels in Ireland are built to last a long time. The average lifespan of solar panels is about 25 to 30 years. Some panels continue to produce energy even after that. The efficiency of your solar panels will gradually decrease over time. This is normal. But they’ll still generate electricity. It’s worth saying that most solar panel manufacturers offer warranties for around 20-25 years. This means you can have peace of mind, knowing your solar panel investment is protected.
