Why County Longford is ideal for solar
- Excellent solar potential: Modern panels are highly efficient and work effectively even on the overcast days common in Co. Longford, not just in direct sunshine.
- High electricity costs: With Irish homeowners paying almost 30 per cent more for electricity than the EU average, the potential for significant savings on your energy bills is substantial.
- Generous grant support: The SEAI solar electricity grant provides up to €1,800 for home installations in 2025. This support makes the switch more affordable.
- Microgeneration payments: Thanks to the Clean Export Guarantee scheme, you can sell any excess electricity your panels generate back to the grid for a credit on your bills.
All the installers we work with are SEAI registered, meaning they can guide you through the grant application process to ensure you don't miss out.

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 overcast days, and most Irish homes see significant electricity bill reductions with a properly sized system.
How much does a solar panel system cost?
A typical residential system costs between €8,000 and €12,000 before any grants are applied.
The final price depends on your system size (a 4kW system costs less than a 6kW system) 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 protected structures and homes in architectural conservation areas.
Your installer will be able to confirm if permission is needed for your specific property.
How does the SEAI grant work?
The grant provides up to €1,800 towards the cost of your system. It is typically handled by your installer and paid directly to them, which reduces your upfront cost. To qualify, your chosen installer must be SEAI-registered.
