Why County Waterford is ideal for solar
- Excellent solar potential: As part of the "Sunny South-East," Waterford enjoys some of the best conditions for solar energy in Ireland. More importantly, modern panels are powered by daylight, not just direct sunshine, ensuring high performance 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.
- Generous grant support: The SEAI solar electricity grant provides up to €1,800 for home installations in 2025, with additional support available for battery storage systems. This significantly improves the return on investment time.
- Microgeneration payments: Since the introduction of the Clean Export Guarantee, homeowners can sell excess electricity back to the 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 process.
