Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about installing solar panels in Ireland.
How much do solar panels cost in Ireland?
It depends on the system size, battery and your property. The starting estimate is illustrative, not an installer quote; AirPV can help you understand the options before a partner installer surveys and quotes for your home.
What is the SEAI Solar Electricity Grant?
The SEAI Solar PV grant can reduce the upfront cost if you are eligible. The starting estimate shows the assumed grant separately from the price before grant; the final amount and eligibility need confirmation.
What are export payments and the Clean Export Guarantee (CEG)?
Under the Clean Export Guarantee (CEG), suppliers must pay you for surplus electricity that you export to the grid. Rates vary by supplier and plan but the average right now is around 20 c/kWh. AirPV includes this in the calculator to show you the full picture of your savings.
Do I need a battery with solar panels?
A battery is optional. The main benefit of a battery is storing your own solar electricity to use later, which means you rely less on the grid. But instead of storing it, you could export that electricity for about 20 cent/kWh. For this, a battery only saves the difference between what you’d earn and what you’d otherwise pay (typically around 35 cent/kWh). A standard battery adds about €2,000 to the system cost and usually leads to slightly longer payback times overall. That said, prices are falling, and AI-managed systems can unlock extra savings through energy arbitrage — charging when prices are low and discharging when high. These systems can reduce the overall payback time and are getting better all the time.
