The above is based on estimated installation costs, self-consumption and annual solar generation from south facing roof in Dublin City. Savings based on average electricity rate of 33 c/kWh and microgeneration rate of 19.5c/kWh that is exported.
*An average solar PV system can save up to 60% per year on electricity, based on an average consumption of a house being 4200kWh/units. 8 x Solar PV panels or 3.2kWp will generate approx. 2700 units per year (60% of 4200 kWh/units = 2520 kWh/units).

Solar PV panels FAQs
Solar PV, also called Photovoltaic, uses the sun's energy to convert daylight into renewable energy. The electricity is then consumed within the home, reducing your need to buy energy from a supplier. When a Solar PV system produces more energy than a home needs, the extra energy can go to your immersion heater. Solar PV is not to be confused with Solar Thermal - while Solar Thermal heats water only, Solar PV gives you free electricity and hot water. Watch our promotional video here for even more information.
The cost of a solar PV installation ranges in price from approximately €5,900 upwards. The cost depends on the number of panels and any additional features, like a hot water diverter, you may include as an added benefit.
As part of our solar PV offer we provide each customer with a full consultation to ensure you are getting the optimal size solar PV system for your home and energy needs.
All installations include the following:
High quality solar PV panels.
Recommendation of a string or hybrid inverter. Our team will help you decide which is more suitable for you. An inverter converts electricity from DC to usable power (AC) for your home.
A hassle-free grant process- we deduct the grant directly from the cost, so you don’t have to worry about claiming it back later.
Submission of NC6 form to ESB Networks so you can avail of Microgeneration tariff for any exported electricity. Electric Ireland currently offers a rate of 19.5c p/kWh for any electricity exported.
Our experienced fitting crews follow a strict health and safety approach to protect you and our staff.
We also offer advice on optional products like a hot water diverter to send excess electricity to heat your water, and the benefits of adding battery storage.
All homeowners, including private landlords, whose homes were built and occupied before 2021 can apply. This is defined as the date your electricity meter was installed.
The grant value is calculated on the total maximum output of the Solar PV system, measured in kWp. The grant value is €900 per kWp up to 2 kWp and €300 for every additional kWp up to 4kWp. The total maximum grant value is capped at €1800.
A post works BER assessment must be carried out before the grant can be processed. For more information on the Solar PV Grant and to complete application please visit SEAI.ie

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 we install the Electric Ireland Solar battery in your home, it is usually placed as close to the main electrical distribution board as possible. The location will be agreed beforehand with the homeowner. Installation typically takes one day to complete. Most of the work will be in the area of the distribution board, minimizing any disruption.
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.
Microgenerators generate clean, renewable energy to meet some or all of the electricity demands of a household or business.
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.
Most Electric Ireland microgenerators have Solar PV installed on their roof. Your Solar PV installer would have registered an NC6 form on your behalf to ESB Networks. This form provides us with the information we need to set you up.
Electric Ireland is pleased to offer a rate of 19.5c 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 installation of 10 panels would be about €150 per year).
Payment is made in the form of a credit on your electricity bill reflecting your microgeneration export in that period.

The battery is normally installed in the garage or utility room, location can be agreed at time of site survey. Installation normally takes less than a day to complete.
The battery stores the unused generated electricity from your solar PV array for use later in the day. This ensures that you use practically all the power your PV has generated. The battery can also be set to charge on cheaper night rate electricity which can then be used during the day for further savings.
The Dyness battery comes with a warranty of 7 years. The battery’s warranty can be extended to 10 years with Dyness’ approval by registering on their official website: http://www.dynesstech.com/sign.html. The battery should offer over 6,000 charge cycles at a 90% depth of discharge and will maintain 70% of its installed capacity after 6,000 cycles or 10 years, whichever occurs first. For more information visit Dyness’ website.
