Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Solar PV Panels

Does a solar panel system work in both Ireland and Northern Ireland?

Every year, Northern Ireland is exposed to 1000 – 1100 hours of sunlight. Ireland, usually, gets between 1100 and 1600 hours of sunlight each year. With this large amount of UV light, solar PV panels can produce adequate renewable energy to power your home. Northern Ireland is quite similar to the English Midlands, where solar photovoltaic (PV) systems have grown significantly in recent years. Being the most plentiful and cleanest green power source, solar electricity is gaining popularity among Irish homes and companies.

Is my house suitable for installing a solar panel?

Yes, solar panels are likely to work well with your home.

First, ensure that your roof receives adequate sunshine. Therefore, it cannot face north or be entirely in the shade. No matter whether your roof faces east, west, or south, it is appropriate. Secondly, your roof needs to be able to support loads of 120 to 280 kg. This criterion will be met by a vast majority of roofs.

Is it worth adding a battery with a solar PV system?

You would have to feed any extra energy produced by your solar PV system back into the National Grid if there wasn’t a solar battery connected to it. Optimising the amount of energy you create for your house by including a solar battery in your system is a great and effective method to save and use renewable energy.
