Solar panels are becoming more and more popular for many different properties across Ireland. With exceptional grants being available as well as solar panels becoming more affordable than ever – now is the perfect time to invest in solar panels for your property. This article covers everything that you need to know if you are considering solar panel installation, from the benefits that you will expect to see after installing your solar panels to identifying if your property is eligible for solar panel installation.
We cover:
- How you can save money on energy bills by installing solar panels. Solar energy is also the greenest source of energy on the planet so your solar panels also help you become more energy efficient and reduce your carbon footprint.
- How you can take advantage of the various government grants that are available to offset the initial cost of installing your solar panels. This makes solar panels highly attractive for a wide range of properties such as homes, and commercial and agricultural buildings/properties.
- Solar panels can increase the overall value of your property and can make them highly attractive to potential buyers. More and more people are looking to invest or switch to renewable energy sources and to move away from the control of large energy companies. This can make your property more attractive when it’s time to sell and combined with the available grants – offset the cost of increasing the value of your home overall.

Saving Money on Your Energy Bills & Investing in Renewable Energy
Solar panels can save you money on energy bills and due to the fact that they last between 20 to 30 years on average – this provides a long period of time to make money back on your investment. Combine this with the grants that are available and you are able to save money as well as generate your own electricity. Solar panels require little to no maintenance, requiring only to be cleaned to ensure that they are operating at optimal efficiency. Once your solar panels are installed, you can use the electricity generated to power your property or the electricity can be stored in a battery system for future use.
Assessing the Suitability for Solar Panel Installation on Your Property
Solar panels can be installed on a wide range of different properties. Your property will require:
- A south-facing roof. This is the roof that is best suited for solar panel installation. Solar panels can also be installed on east or west-facing roofs but north-facing roofs will not be effective or appropriate.
- In some cases, solar panels can be installed on the ground to circumvent issues such as having a roof that has obstructions present or if your roof is north-facing. Flat roofs can also have solar panels installed but this will depend on if there are any obstructions on your roof. We can advise you on the suitability of your property for solar panel installation.
