The average Solar PV system would have 10 panels with a hot water diverter. Its average cost is EUR7,975 before grant. However, an accurate quote will depend on the site survey. This 10 panel (4.1kWp system) would cost EUR5,575. Solar Share has committed to maintain the pricing of all installs that have deposits paid by 1st May, 2023.
Microgenerators can provide all or part of the energy needs of a home or business. Government Micro-generation Support Scheme allows those who have a microgeneration device registered to sell excess electricity back into Ireland's electrical grid. This scheme will allow households to reduce their carbon footprint while saving money.
Solar PV is installed on the roof of most solar share microgenerators. Your Solar PV installer will have submitted an NC6 to ESB Networks on your behalf. This form gives us the information needed to set up your account.
Solar Share offers a rate per kWh of 21c. This payment is estimated to range from EUR50-EUR300 annu-ally, depending on your microgeneration system's size and type (a typical installation with 10 panels would cost EUR150).
The payment is in the form a credit to your electric bill, reflecting your microgeneration output in that time period.
Each battery, which is known for its reliability, is an integrated energy storage system that allows users to manage and control energy in a new way.
The battery will be installed in either the garage or utility area. This can be decided at the time of site inspection. Installation usually takes less than one day.
solar panelsBattery can be charged with cheaper electricity at night and used in the day to save even more. Sonnen batteries optimise self-consumption using weather forecasts and self-learning algorithms.
The Sonnen Battery is backed by a warranty that's unmatched in the market. It offers a 10-year warranty or 10,000 cycles of charging, as well as a 20-year battery life. Solar Panel Grants for Businesses The battery's performance guarantee says that it will not be less than 70% its original capacity after 10,000 charge cycles.
If your needs change, you can easily add additional batteries to your Sonnen battery.
The Sonnen battery does require an internet connection for system monitoring. It is essential to have broadband to be able to identify and fix faults remotely online. Regular, free software updates are also required to keep the system up to date. Internet access is included in the warranty.
Solis' free app and web portal offer an easy-to use interface that allows you to monitor and manage en-ergy generation and usage 24/7. View current and historical data, as well as a forecast for solar consump-tion and generation over the next 3 days. You can download the Sonnen app from iOS or Android store - simply search for "solis". The app has a demo function that allows you to test the system's functionality.
The Irish government has put several incentives into place to encourage Irish consumers switching to solar energy.
SEAI's solar electricity grant will be most useful if you plan to install a PV system with us.
Installing solar PV panels on your roof to produce renewable electricity can be made affordable with this grant.
All homeowners including private landlords who built their homes and occupied them before 2021 may apply.
Solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25-30 years, with most manufacturers offering warranties of 20-25 years.
Choose an installer who is SEAI registered, has good customer reviews, offers warranties, and provides a detailed quote with clear pricing.
Yes, solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy days, although their efficiency will be reduced compared to sunny days.
