Why County Mayo is ideal for solar
- Better solar potential than expected: While Mayo is known for its rugged coastline rather than endless sunshine, modern solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not just direct sun, making them highly effective even on overcast days.
- High electricity costs: Irish consumers pay almost 30 per cent more than the European Union average for electricity, meaning the potential for substantial energy bill savings is significant for Mayo households.
- Generous grant support: The SEAI solar electricity grant currently provides up to €1,800 for home installations.
- Microgeneration payments: Thanks to the Clean Export Guarantee scheme, homeowners can sell any surplus electricity their panels 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 entire 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, so they perform well even on overcast days. Most Irish homes see significant electricity bill reductions with properly sized systems.
How much does a solar panel system cost?
Typical residential systems cost between €8,000 and €12,000 before grants. The final price depends on your system size and your roof's characteristics — factors like multiple 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 are expected to generate electricity for 30 years or more with minimal maintenance. They are a long-term investment that provides decades of savings.
Do I need planning permission?
Most residential solar panel installations are exempt from planning permission. The main exceptions are for protected structures and homes within architectural conservation areas. Your installer will confirm if permission is needed for your specific property.
How does the SEAI grant work?
The grant provides up to €1,800 and is handled by your installer. It is paid directly to them, which reduces your upfront cost. To qualify, your chosen installer must be registered with the SEAI.
