How Do Solar Panels Work?

Each solar panel is made up of small photovoltaic (PV) cells which absorb photons emitted from the sun. This generates free electricity through the photovoltaic effect for use in your home.

The electricity generated can also be stored in a battery and released when you need it.

FAQ’s

Some of the most frequent questions we get asked.

For a typical 3-bedroom semi-detached home, a solar PV system (roughly 10 panels or 4.4 kWp) generally costs between €8,000 and €12,000 before grants. With current incentives and 0% VAT, many homeowners see an out-of-pocket cost closer to €5,500 – €7,000.

As of early 2026, the SEAI Solar PV grant is capped at €1,800 for eligible systems. Currently, there is no additional grant available for battery storage, so support applies only to solar PV installations.

Yes. The 0% VAT rate on the supply and installation of solar panels for private dwellings remains in place for 2026, providing an immediate saving of roughly 13.5% compared to previous years.

Absolutely. Solar PV panels run on daylight, not direct heat or constant “holiday sun.” Even on a typical overcast Irish day, panels can still generate 10% to 25% of their rated capacity. Ireland’s cool, temperate climate actually helps efficiency, as panels can underperform in extreme heat.

Most Irish households save between 30% and 70% on their annual electricity bills. By using high-energy appliances (washing machines, dishwashers) during daylight hours, you maximise your “self-consumption” and minimise what you buy from the grid.

Yes, through the Clean Export Guarantee (CEG). Major suppliers like Pinergy, Energia, and Electric Ireland pay customers for excess energy sent back to the grid. Rates in 2026 typically range from 18c to 25c per kWh.

Very little. Because Ireland gets plenty of rain, your panels are mostly self-cleaning. However, a professional check-over every 2 to 3 years is recommended to ensure the inverter is healthy and the wiring is secure.
