Meeting your energy needs with your own installed solar energy system will cut your energy bills. The amount saved by the system depends on its size and the energy demands of your home; the current recommendation from the SEAI is that a solar system should be sized to cover a maximum of 70% of annual electricity usage.
The grant amount is determined by the date that the electricity meter has been installed.

*A typical solar PV system will save 50% of the electricity consumed by a home, which is 4200kWh/units. Approx. 8 x Solar panels or 3.2kWp can generate. 2700 units/year (2100kWh/units).
Solis' free app and web portal offer an easy-to use interface that allows you to monitor and manage en-ergy generation and usage 24/7. View current and historical data, as well as a forecast for solar consump-tion and generation over the next 3 days. You can download the Sonnen app from iOS or Android store - simply search for "solis". The app has a demo function that allows you to test the system's functionality.

The average Solar PV system would have 10 panels with a hot water diverter. Its average cost is EUR7,975 before grant. However, an accurate quote will depend on the site survey. This 10 panel (4.1kWp system) would cost EUR5,575. Solar Share has committed to maintain the pricing of all installs that have deposits paid by 1st May, 2023. You can save approximately EUR 1,190 a year once installed (based on solar electric-ity self consumption of 2,280kWh and exporting 1,220kWh to grid). Your investment will pay off in ap-proximately five years at the current electricity rates of 41c/kWh.
