What Are Solar Panels and How Do They Work?

Solar panels, also known as solar PV (photovoltaic) panels, convert sunlight into electricity. These panels contain silicon cells that create an electric field when exposed to sunlight, causing electricity to flow.

This electricity is converted from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) through an inverter, making it usable for all household appliances like fridges, freezers, and televisions.

Do Solar Panels Work in Ireland?

Yes! Solar panels are highly effective in Ireland, benefiting from a good average number of solar hours per day throughout the year. While the panels generate more electricity during longer summer days, they also produce free electricity even on cloudy or dark winter days.

Almost all types of domestic dwellings in Ireland are suitable for solar panels, except those with no installation space, such as certain apartments. For homes lacking roof space but with available ground area, ground-mounted solar systems offer an effective alternative.
