Can't recomend these guys enough. Did an absolutely fantastic job on my solar install and spent plenty of time prior to it making sure I got the right system for my needs. They were also coming in the cheapest too with a quick installation turn around. A1. Thanks again!

I don’t like giving reviews because quality can change over time at a company. However, I can say the job they did in March 2025 was faultless. Attention to detail was superb to hide as much wiring as possible. Delighted with the result. I’ll use them again if I need a car charger in future.

Years of Experience

A solar partner Irish homeowners trust

SPV Energy is an SEAI-registered solar installer with over 3,000 installations completed across Ireland. Your system is designed, installed, registered and supported by one local team based in Kingscourt, Co. Cavan. We also handle the full SEAI grant application on your behalf, so the paperwork never lands on you.

How Much Do Solar Panels Cost for a Home in Ireland?

The cost of a home solar system depends on its size, whether you add a battery, and your roof, so there is no single published price. What is fixed is the support: an SEAI grant of up to €1,800 and 0% VAT both cut what you pay. For a figure built around your home, use the calculator.

Three things set your price:

  • System size. More panels for higher electricity use.
  • Battery or no battery. Storage adds cost, and lifts your savings.
  • Roof type and access. Slate, tile or flat, and how easy the roof is to work on.

The right size depends on your usage and roof. Here is a rough guide:

Your figure depends on your property, and the calculator builds one for you. Run a business or a farm? Systems and grants differ, so see our commercial solar page.

Lower electricity bills

Use your own solar power by day and buy less from the grid. The more you run during daylight, the more you save.

Get paid for surplus power

Your supplier pays you for every unit you export under the Clean Export Guarantee, typically 15c to 20c. The first €400 a year is tax-free until the end of 2028.

Add a battery when it pays

A battery lets you use much more of your own solar in the evening instead of exporting it. We recommend one where your evening usage makes it worthwhile.

Low maintenance, long life

Solar panels have no moving parts. They last 25 years or more, and a quick visual check now and then is usually all they need.

A better BER and higher value

Solar can improve your BER rating and make your home more attractive to future buyers.

FAQ

Solar Panels for Homes: Frequently Asked Questions

How much do solar panels cost for a home in Ireland?

Yes, solar panels work well in Ireland’s cloudy weather. They generate electricity from daylight rather than direct sun alone, so they still produce plenty on overcast days and lower your bills across the year, especially from spring to autumn.

Payback depends on your system size, how much power you use during the day, and your export rate, so it varies from home to home. Panels are warranted to last 25 years or more, and our calculator estimates payback for your own situation.

The SEAI solar grant is worth up to €1,800. It pays €700 per kWp for the first 2 kWp and €200 per kWp up to 4 kWp, so systems of 4 kWp or more receive the full amount. Your home must have been built before 2021, and you must apply and get approval before work begins.

Yes. Solar panels run on daylight, so they generate power on cloudy days too, and Ireland’s cooler temperatures make panels more efficient than hot climates do. Solar is now a fast-growing part of the grid: it reached record monthly highs of around 9 to 10% of national electricity in summer 2026, and grid-scale solar first passed 1 GW in 2026, enough to power roughly 500,000 homes, according to EirGrid. Output is highest from spring to autumn and lower in winter, and the yearly total is what drives your savings.

Yes. Under the Clean Export Guarantee, your electricity supplier pays you for the surplus you export to the grid, typically around 15c to 20c a unit and set by your supplier. The first €400 of export income each year is tax-free, to the end of 2028. You need a smart meter, which we help you arrange.

Solar panels typically last 25 to 30 years, and most come with a manufacturer warranty of around 25 years. They have no moving parts, so they keep generating with very little maintenance, and we support your system long after it is installed.

In most cases, no. Since October 2022, there is no limit on the area of rooftop solar for houses anywhere in Ireland. Planning permission can still apply to protected structures, conservation areas and wall-mounted panels.

The installation itself usually takes a single day. From your first enquiry to a working system is typically under a month, depending on scheduling and the grant process.
