Why County Sligo is ideal for solar

  • Better solar potential than you think: While Sligo is known for its dramatic landscapes, it also receives more than enough daylight for effective solar energy generation.
  • High electricity costs: Irish homeowners pay almost 30 per cent more for electricity than the European Union average. This means the potential for substantial savings on your energy bills is significant when you generate your own power.
  • Generous grant support: The SEAI solar electricity grant provides up to €1,800 for home installations currently.
  • Microgeneration payments: Thanks to the Clean Export Guarantee scheme, 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 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 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 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 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 for solar PV systems. It is typically handled by your installer and paid directly to them, which reduces your upfront cost.

To qualify, your chosen installer must be registered with the SEAI.
