Buying solar panels for your home involves an initial investment, which can vary based on several factors. Find out how much solar panels cost and calculate your solar panel costs below.
HOW MUCH DO Solar PanelS COST?
Cost and Financing Options
On average, the price of an installed solar system ranges between €5,000 and €13,000. Many financial institutions offer green loans at lower interest rates for solar systems helping to ensure the investment is manageable and cost-effective.
Key factors influencing this cost include:
Solar System Size
Larger systems that generate more electricity tend to cost more upfront. Your system size and design will typically be identified during your free site visit.
Additional Components Like Batteries
Adding a battery storage system increases the overall cost but enhances your energy savings and the flexibility of your solar system.
Type of Solar Panels
All black, monocrystalline solar panels like ours are best-suited to Irish homes as they offer the highest efficiency and look better than polycrystalline solar panels.
Return On Investment
How Quick is the Payback Period of Solar Panels?
The typical payback period for a solar PV system is between five and seven years.
Our solar panels can save you anywhere between 50-80% on your annual electricity costs.
After recouping your initial investment, you can enjoy 18 to 20 years of free electricity, as the guaranteed life expectancy of our solar panels is 25 years.

Available Grants and Incentives
All of our solar panel systems are eligible for SEAI grants and VAT exemption which lowers your initial investment, delivers a faster return on investment, and enhanced affordability of advanced systems with battery storage.
SEAI Grants
Homeowners in Ireland can benefit from Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) grants, which offer up to €2,100 for installing solar PV systems. This grant significantly reduces the upfront cost, making solar energy more accessible.
VAT Exemption
A recent government initiative has made solar panel installations VAT-free. This further reduces the overall cost, providing an additional financial incentive to switch to solar energy.
