solar panels and heat pumps

solar panels for commercial buildings

US-backed research has shown that high heat may actually cause solar panels to work less efficiently. Nevertheless, today’s technology requires rigorous testing of solar panels to ensure high efficiency and effectiveness.
Solar Share offers you the latest solar PV technology and installation by our partners Solar Share. We en-able you to live a sustainable lifestyle.
Solar PV systems with 10 panels and a diverter for hot water are the most common. The average cost of the system is EUR7.975 (before grant). The site survey will determine the exact quote. This 10 panel sys-tem (4.1kWp) would cost EUR5,575. Solar Share has agreed to keep the same pricing for all installations that have paid deposits by May 1, 2023. Once installed, you can save up to EUR 1,190 per year (based on self-consumption of solar electricity of 2,280kWh plus exporting 1,220kWh into grid). At the current elec-tricity rate of 41c/kWh, your investment will be repaid in about five years.

Solar Share helps customers to make the best decisions.

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.

SEAI Solar Electricity Grant is relevant to you if we are installing your solar PV system.

Solar Share is pleased to offer a rate of 21c per kWh. We estimate that this payment will range between €50-€300 per year, depending on the size and type of your microgeneration system (a typical installa-tion of 10 panels would be about €150 per year).

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.

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.

How much does it cost to install solar panels in Ireland?

between �6,000 and �18,000 Professional installers will assess your property to look at how many solar panels you will need and if your current roof structure can accommodate the solar system. The average cost of solar panel installation in Ireland is between �6,000 and �18,000.

What is the maximum solar grant in Ireland?

�2,400 The amount you get depends on the system size you have installed, measured by your solar panel's peak power output (in kW / kWp). �2,400 is the maximum grant. Larger installations still get this amount. Other things you get installed (such as batteries and immersion diverters) do not effect the amount of the grant.

Is it worth adding a battery with solar panels?

Without a solar battery connected to your solar PV system, any excess energy generated would be fed back into the National Grid. Adding a solar battery to your system is an excellent and efficient way to preserve and use renewable energy, helping you maximise the energy you generate for your home. 6 Apr 2023
