FAQ
Solar in Ireland, answered
The questions West-of-Ireland homeowners ask us most about grants, costs and going solar.
1. Do I need a battery?
Not necessarily. A solar PV system works perfectly without a battery. The battery simply stores any excess electricity you generate during the day so you can use it in the evening or at night. Without a battery, any surplus electricity is automatically exported to the grid. If you do add one, SEAI now offers a €600 grant for a home battery (5kWh), on top of the solar PV grant.
2. What happens if I generate more electricity than I use?
3. Will solar panels work on cloudy days?
4. Will I have electricity during a power cut?
5. How much will I save?
6. How long does installation take?
7. Do the panels need much maintenance?
8. What warranties come with the system?
9. Can I add a battery later?
10. How do I monitor my system?
11. Is the SEAI grant included?
12. Is my roof suitable for solar?
