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.
Solar PV panels and some faqs
How much is a solar grant?
Your eligible grant amount (up to a maximum of €1,800) is deducted directly from your invoice at the time of purchase.
We simplify the SEAI grant process for you. This means you receive the full grant value immediately, with none of the hassle or waiting as our team manages all the necessary paperwork on your behalf after installation.
How long will grants be available?
The SEAI grant scheme is a temporary pilot programme.
Its future is regularly reviewed by the government, and the end date is not confirmed. We encourage all interested homeowners to begin their project as soon as possible to take advantage of the grant in its current form.
Does Solar PV heat water?
Yes. Get the most out of your solar panels with a smart energy diverter. This intelligent device automatically sends any unused solar power directly to your hot water cylinder’s immersion, ensuring that no energy goes to waste.
Do you get paid for your excess solar power?
Yes. Your energy supplier will pay you for any electricity your solar system sends back to the grid. The amount is officially called a Clean Export Guarantee (CEG) payment, and it’s based on the actual amount of electricity your system exports. The rate you get is set by your energy provider, so it’s a good idea to check their specific offers.
What size Solar PV system do I need?
This is largely determined by your electricity bills. We will analyse these with you and that is the base line we use to design your system. You are billed in kilowatt hours and Solar PV systems are rated in kilowatt hours so the calculations are relatively straightforward.
How long does a solar panel last?
Various manufacturers offer distinct warranty terms. Nevertheless, we consistently strive to raise awareness regarding the potential risks associated with limited warranties, particularly in the case of single glass solar panels. Our glass-glass panels come with both a performance and product guarantee lasting 30 years, and they boast a useful design life extending to 60 years.
Do I need a battery?
In almost all installations a battery will greatly enhance the performance of your system. Unless it is a business with a steady daytime consumption which will use ALL the electricity generated by the panels, there will be what is termed ‘export’. This means that your electricity is fed into the grid and while it is possible to get paid for this, the feed-in tariffs are always much lower than the tariff you pay. Also, you are ‘export limited’ to a very small amount of electricity that you are allowed to export. Therefore, it makes sense to store all your own excess electricity and use it at night.
