Solar PV
Domestic Solar PV
How Solar PV Works
Solar PV systems work by converting daylight into electricity using photovoltaic cells, making them a reliable energy solution even on cloudy days. Because they don’t require direct sunlight to generate power, solar panels are perfectly suited to Ireland’s changing weather conditions. With minimal maintenance and long lifespans, they offer a consistent, eco friendly way to reduce your electricity bills year round.
How Much Can You Save?
On average, a 4kW solar PV system can help homeowners save between €930 and €1,120 annually on their electricity bills by generating clean, renewable energy directly from daylight. These calculations are an estimation and the actual results are based on variable factors.

Are there planning permission requirements in Ireland?
Planning permission is not required for most domestic solar PV systems, thanks to updated regulations from October 2022. This includes roof mounted panels, provided they meet size and positioning guidelines. However, permission may still be needed for protected structures, conservation areas, or large ground mounted systems. We’ll advise if your system requires it.
