Investing in solar panels can be a smart choice for households and businesses looking to reduce their electricity costs and embrace renewable energy.The above savings are a result of customers reducing the amount of electricity they need to purchase from their electricity supplier/. Please note that you will still pay the same amount on your electricity bill for standing charges and for the Public Service Obliga-tion, but you will reduce the unit rate amount (the amount of electricity consumed).

We engage with schools, communities and individuals across Ireland in order to influence the way that your community views energy.
You can apply if you occupied the land before 2021.
There are grants available through the SEAI to help offset the cost (subject to meeting eligibility re-quirements).
Below we've laid out an estimation of potential annual savings and payback periods for solar panel in-stallations.
Back to the national grid
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.

The Irish Government sees solar energy as an important long-term way of expanding the mix of sustain-able energy in Ireland. They have therefore put in place a number incentives to assist Irish consumers in switching to solar.
Solar PV systems with 10 panels and a diverter for hot water are the most common. The average cost of the system is EUR7.975 (before grant). The site survey will determine the exact quote. This 10 panel sys-tem (4.1kWp) would cost EUR5,575. Solar Share has agreed to keep the same pricing for all installations that have paid deposits by May 1, 2023. Once installed, you can save up to EUR 1,190 per year (based on self-consumption of solar electricity of 2,280kWh plus exporting 1,220kWh into grid). At the current elec-tricity rate of 41c/kWh, your investment will be repaid in about five years.
The estimated cost ranges from EUR50 to EUR300 per annum, depending on the size of your household
