Expertise & Service
Solar PV systems perform efficiently in Ireland, benefiting from a surprisingly high average number of solar hours per day year-round. While these systems generate more electricity during longer summer days, they also produce free electricity even on the dullest winter days.
Residential Solar PV Systems
Our domestic solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are designed to generate free electricity for your home by converting sunlight into electrical power. AEI installs high-quality solar PV panels at suitable locations on your property, typically on the roof. The panels convert daylight into electricity, powering all household appliances like fridges, freezers, and televisions.
Ground-Mounted Solar Systems
When roof space is limited, ground-mounted solar systems provide an excellent alternative. These systems can be installed in available spaces such as gardens or adjacent fields, making them ideal for rural properties. The ground-mounted panels are wired back to your home, offering the same efficient energy generation as rooftop installations.
Why Choose AEI?
Choosing Ireland’s longest-established renewable energy specialist gives you the comfort of knowing you’re in the best hands possible.
Unique Cashback Guarantee
If your solar PV system underperforms, Autarco will financially compensate you for any loss, adding an extra layer of security and peace of mind.
25-Year Guarantee
Our high-quality solar panels come with a 25 year performance guarantee, so the long-term value of your investment is secure.
Grant Assistance
Grant applications can be daunting. At AEI, we handle all of the paperwork for SEAI grants on your behalf, even claiming the grant back for you!
Real-Time Reporting
Our solar PV app gives you 24-hour access to detailed data on energy generation and consumption.
Remote Performance Monitoring
Autarco also monitors your system performance in real-time and proactively addresses any performance drops, ensuring peak efficiency.
Customer Support and After-Sales
Our dedicated in-house after-sales team is here to help with any issues that arise with remote support and on-site technicians.
Our Process
At AEI, we follow a streamlined process to ensure a seamless and efficient transition to solar energy for your home.
Site Visit and System Design
We start with a no obligation phone survey, followed by a comprehensive site visit to assess your property’s available roof and ground spaces. We also review your electricity bills to understand your consumption patterns. Using this information, we design a custom solar PV system tailored to your specific needs for optimal performance and efficiency.
Paperwork and Grant Handling:
Navigating the paperwork for grants can be daunting. At AEI, we handle all of the paperwork for SEAI grants on your behalf and claim the grant back for you, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
Installation Timeline
From the date of order, our typical lead time for installation is four to six weeks. The actual installation generally takes two days. On the first day, our roofing team instals the solar panels. On the second day, our electricians set up the inverter and activate the system, ensuring everything is operational before they leave.
After-Sales and Maintenance Services
Our solar PV systems are highly reliable and rarely require maintenance. If any issues arise, our dedicated in-house after-sales team is here to help. You can easily log a fault on our website or contact our support team by phone. Many issues can be diagnosed and resolved remotely, or we will dispatch a technician to your property.
Driven By Our Community and Our Environment
While solar panels might be accessible now, this hasn’t always been the case.
At AEI, we are founded from the desire to empower our communities and improve the quality of our environment for generations to come. Our solar PV systems not only help homeowners take control of their own energy generation and reduce their electricity bills, they also help them to contribute to a cleaner environment for decades.
Each system installed by AEI reduces carbon emissions, supporting Ireland’s commitment to sustainable practices and a greener future. We’ve come a long way, but there’s a lot further to go. Get in touch with us today to be a part of this great transformation.
