How much does a solar panel system cost?

Do I need planning permission?
Most residential solar panel installations are exempt from planning permission. Exceptions may apply for protected structures and designated 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.
