Solar panels in Ireland reduced from 13.5% to just 5% VAT.

The announcement comes as part of the Green Party’s commitment to tackling climate change and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

Solar panels are a key part of this transition, as they provide a clean and renewable source of energy that can be used to power homes and businesses.

The planned VAT cut will see the rate of VAT on the installation of solar panels reduced from 13.5% to just 5%, making it much more affordable for people to invest in this technology.

This will help to encourage more people to switch to renewable energy, reducing their carbon footprint and contributing to a cleaner and greener future for Ireland.

The reduction in the cost of installing solar panels is also good news for the solar industry in Ireland. It is expected to create new jobs and stimulate investment in the sector, helping to drive innovation and growth in this important area of the economy.

In addition to the VAT cut, the Green Party is also planning to introduce a range of other measures to support the transition to renewable energy sources. These include increased investment in renewable energy research and development, as well as incentives for households and businesses to install solar panels and other renewable technologies.

Overall, Eamon Ryan’s announcement is an important step forward in Ireland’s efforts to tackle climate change and transition to a more sustainable future. By reducing the cost of installing solar panels and supporting the growth of the solar industry.

Now here is a an even greater deal!

Imagine a VAT reduction on solar panels plus having the ultimate all in one solar system installed.

What makes the new SigenStor Neo different from previous battery storage systems?

The SigenStor Neo is an all-in-one residential energy platform that integrates five core components—the PV inverter, battery, power conversion system (PCS), energy management system (EMS), and gateway—into a single, compact unit. Powered by SigenAgent AI through the mySigen App 4.0, it automatically optimizes battery usage based on electricity pricing and weather forecasts while offering true 0ms uninterruptible backup during grid blackouts.

How does the 0ms backup feature work during a power outage?

Unlike conventional backup systems that experience a brief delay or flicker when grid power fails, Sigenergy’s 0ms switchover functions like a commercial-grade Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Connected household circuits retain instant, continuous power, keeping critical appliances, Wi-Fi routers, and electronics running without interruption.

Are Sigenergy products suitable for Ireland’s rainy and cold climate?

Yes. Sigenergy systems feature an industry-leading IP66 ingress protection rating, making them fully dust-tight and resistant to heavy rain and harsh weather. This complete waterproofing allows systems to be safely installed outdoors or in unheated garages across Ireland without risk of weather damage.

How does an AI-powered battery storage system like Sigenergy SigenStor save money?

AI-powered battery systems evaluate real-time weather forecasts and household usage history to predict energy production and consumption. During winter or cloudy periods, the system automatically buys cheap electricity from the grid during off-peak night hours and releases it during peak daytime hours, minimizing your unit rates.

Ready to Future-Proof Your Energy?

Whether you are looking to lower household electricity bills, secure back-up power, or transition your commercial premises to renewable energy, the future of solar is already here.
