SEAI grants help homeowners, businesses, communities and large industries to reduce their energy costs as well as greenhouse gas emissions.
The payment is in the form a credit to your electric bill, reflecting your microgeneration output in that time period.
An average size Solar PV install would include 10 panels and a hot water diverter with average price of €7,975 (before grant) but is dependant on site survey for accurate quotation. The price after grant of €2,400 for this 10 panel (4.1kWp) system would be €5,575. All installs with deposits paid since 1st May 2023, will benefit from 0% VAT and Solar Share are committed to maintaining pricing following this an-nouncement. Once installed, you can save an estimated €1,190 each year (based on 2,280kWh of solar electricity being self consumed and 1,220kWh being exported to grid). At current electricity price of 41c/kWh and microgen rate of 21c/kWh, your investment payback is an estimated 5 years.
Most solar shares have solar PV installed on their roof
*An average solar PV system can save over 58% per year on electricity, based on an average consump-tion of a house being 4723kWh/units. 8 x solar PV panels or 3.24kWp will generate approx. 2757.5 units per year 3054kWh/units.

Solar panels usually last somewhere between 20-30 years. This does not mean that solar panels stop generating electricity after this timeframe, but rather it means that their efficiency will substantially re-duce.
More effective and efficient when compared to thin films and polycrystalline panels. Monocrystalline (MC) modules are made of a single silicon crystal. Being the most efficient and highest-quality panels, they’re also the most expensive.

The installation of solar panels on domestic properties is exempt from planning permission. Since the 7th of October 2022, there is no longer a limit to the area of solar panels which can be installed on rooftops of homes, anywhere in the country.
When your system is connected to the national grid and you generate more electricity than you require, the extra energy is sent back to the grid. If you’re signed up to our Microgen Export plan you’ll be paid for this in the form of credit on your bill.
A typical Irish home may require a 4kW solar system, typically comprised of 16-20 solar panels. However, this can vary depending on your specific needs, and our team at Going Solar will work with you to determine the appropriate size for your home. 10 May 2023
The Government Microgeneration Support Scheme is now available so that those with a registered microgeneration device can sell any excess electricity back to Ireland's electricity grid. This will help households reduce their carbon footprint and save money.
