With government incentives, zero VAT, and long-term savings, the investment becomes both financially and environmentally rewarding. By lowering greenhouse gas emissions, solar installations support Ireland's goals for reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Long-Term Financial BenefitsSolar panels reduce dependency on grid energy, resulting in lower electricity bills. A typical 3-bedroom home may require 10–12 panels, whereas larger homes may need 16 or more.
Batteries store excess solar energy as direct current, which can later be converted to alternating current for nighttime or cloudy-day use.
