SEAI provides grants that can help cover the costs of the project (subjective to meeting the requirements for eligibility).
If your system generates less energy than is required, the grid can also use the extra energy sent there to meet the deficit.
Solis' free app and web portal offer an easy-to use interface that allows you to monitor and manage en-ergy generation and usage 24/7. View current and historical data, as well as a forecast for solar consump-tion and generation over the next 3 days. You can download the Sonnen app from iOS or Android store - simply search for "solis". The app has a demo function that allows you to test the system's functionality.
A good quality broadband connection is necessary to monitor how much power your home is using. Once installed the homeowner can review both the live and cumulative energy usage in the home on the free energy app from their smartphone.
Conditions of the scheme
Solar PV is installed on the roof of most solar share microgenerators. Your Solar PV installer will have submitted an NC6 to ESB Networks on your behalf. This form gives us the information needed to set up your account.
The government see solar energy as a long-term method of broadening the sustainable energy mix in Ireland so have several incentives in place to help Irish consumers switch to solar energy.
Solar Share helps its clients make better decisions.
Heat pumps can be an energy-efficient alternative to home heating

Solar PV (photovoltaic) panels, most commonly installed on rooftops, turn sunlight into electricity with-out producing carbon emissions. This can be used to power your home, heat your water or be stored in a battery for later use. Through the Microgeneration Support Scheme you can also receive 21c/kWh credit for any excess electricity you export.
Microgenerators are able to provide a portion or all of an individual's energy requirements. The Govern-ment Microgeneration Support Scheme allows microgeneration devices to be registered and surplus electricity can then be sold back into Ireland's electric grid. This scheme allows households to save mon-ey while reducing their carbon footprint.
Solar panels and solar energy systems are priced according to the amount of electricity you require for your home or office.
Allow 4 to 6 weeks after that for payment. If an inspection is necessary, this time will be extended.
The cost includes paying for solar panels, an inverter, batteries, system wiring, and the installation fee. However, as with all new technologies, prices will continue to reduce over time. There are also govern-ment grants available to make the initial costs more manageable.

Battery storage systems can be installed with your Solar PV system or added to an already existing Solar PV system. Our team can help you decide if it is worth the extra cost or not.
With this grant, electricity is affordable.

While solar panels do generate energy during cloudy and rainy days, they may not be enough to meet your home's energy requirements. Of course, any power deficit can be comfortably met with battery-stored energy or from the excess energy sent to the energy grid.
25 to 30 years The industry standard for most solar panels' lifespans is 25 to 30 years. Most reputable manufacturers offer production warranties for 25 years or more. The average break even point for solar panel energy savings occurs six to 10 years after installation.
Next, a 2kW solar system can support a one or two-bedroom house. On the other hand, a 3kW to 3.5kW solar system can be enough for a house with three bedrooms. Lastly, a 4kW to 5kW solar system can support a four to five-bedroom house. 18 Apr 2023
