Free electricity from photovoltaic solar panels. Smart!
When we consider financial savings to be had producing & storing free electricity, while also playing a role in the reduction of carbon emissions, installing PV panels in your home makes perfect sense.
Learn how solar PV works in your home.
Solar PV Panels
PV panels function by absorbing daylight and using it to create free electricity. Currents created by all of the panels combined adds up to enough electricity to help power your home.
System Shunt
A solar PV system shunt is a safety mechanism that functions as a circuit breaker. It provides a means to disconnect your electricity supply during an emergency, ensuring safety for you and your home.
Power inverter
The raw energy that is generated from the panels is referred to as DC or direct current. The inverter converts DC into AC electricity (alternating current) for storage and use around your home.
Distribution Board
Your solar panel system is connected directly to your homes distribution (fuse board). Simply put, this is a control panel center for the entire electrical system of the home or business.
Power Diverter
The Eddi is a smart device that channels surplus solar electricity to your immersion heater, ensuring you use every bit of your free energy to heat water instead of exporting it to the grid.
Battery Storage
Highly advanced batteries retain the free electricity sent from your power Inverter. Here it is stored for later use. This eliminates renewable electricity from being exported back to the grid.
Monitoring
Solar PV phone and computer applications provide you with real time information and historical data allowing you to understand your generation from your panels and how it is used in your building.
Car Chargers
Optional. The EV charger is a smart, eco-friendly solution for electric vehicles.
Some grant FAQ’S
Are there government grants available for solar panels in Ireland?
The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) offers grants for solar PV, battery storage, and EV home chargers.
How long does it take to recoup the investment in solar panels?
Payback periods vary based on system size, electricity costs, and government incentives. Typically, it’s between 5-07 years.
Will solar panels increase my property value?
Yes. Solar panels can increase property value by around 4% on average, and in some cases up to 10% through improved Building Energy Ratings (BER).
How do they add value?
Higher BER rating (improves resale appeal, qualifies buyers for green mortgages).
Lower energy bills (often 50–60% savings).
Strong selling point for eco-conscious buyers
Can I sell excess solar electricity back to the grid?
Yes, under the Solar Feed-in Tariff (FIT), you can sell excess electricity to your energy supplier.
