Why County Offaly is ideal for solar
- Better solar potential than expected: While the Midlands is not the sunniest part of Ireland, modern solar panels require daylight rather than direct sunshine, meaning they generate electricity even on the many overcast days in Offaly.
- High electricity costs: Irish consumers pay almost 30 per cent more than the European Union average for electricity. This means the potential for substantial energy bill savings is significant for homeowners in Offaly.
- Generous grant support: The SEAI solar electricity grant provides up to €1,800 for home installations in 2025.
- Microgeneration payments: Since the introduction of the Clean Export Guarantee, you can sell any excess electricity your panels generate back to the national grid for a credit on your 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 overcast days, and 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 any grants are applied.
The final price depends primarily on your system size and your roof's characteristics.
How long do solar panels last?
Quality solar panels come with 25-year warranties and typically 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 installations are exempt from planning permission. The main exceptions are for protected structures and homes in 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 typically 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.
