Why County Galway is ideal for solar
- Better solar potential than expected: Modern solar panels perform well even in diffuse light, making Galway's climate more suitable for solar than many homeowners realise.
- High electricity costs: Irish consumers pay almost 30 per cent more than the European Union average for electricity, meaning the potential for substantial savings on your energy bills is significant.
- Generous grant support: The SEAI solar electricity grant provides up to €1,800 for home installations in 2025.
- Microgeneration payments: Thanks to the Clean Export Guarantee scheme, homeowners can sell any excess electricity they generate back to the national grid for a credit on their bills.
All the installers we work with are SEAI registered, meaning you won't miss out on grants, and they'll be able to guide you through the application process.

Frequently asked questions about solar panels in Ireland
Do solar panels work in Irish weather?
Yes, modern solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not just direct sunlight. They perform well even on the overcast days common in Ireland, allowing most homes to see significant reductions in their electricity bills.
How much does a solar panel system cost?
A typical residential system costs between €8,000 and €12,000 before grants are deducted.
The final price depends on the system's size and your roof's characteristics. Factors like multiple roof angles, difficult access, or the need for scaffolding can increase installation costs.
How long do solar panels last?
Quality solar panels come with 25-year performance warranties and can be expected to generate electricity for 30 years or more with minimal maintenance.
Do I need planning permission?
Most residential solar panel installations are exempt from planning permission. The main exceptions are for properties that are protected structures or located in architectural conservation areas. Your installer will confirm if permission is needed for your specific home.
How does the SEAI grant work?
The grant, which provides up to €1,800 in 2025, is handled by your installer. It is paid directly to them by the SEAI, reducing your upfront cost.
To qualify, you must use an SEAI-registered installer.
