Solar PV panels are designed to harness natural sunlight, even on overcast or cloudy days. This means that Irish weather won’t stop homeowners from tapping into the clean, free, and renewable energy from the sun.

The exact amount of electricity produced will depend on several factors, including the size of the solar panel system, the orientation and tilt of your roof, the geographical location, and the amount of sunlight available.

On average, a well-designed and properly installed solar panel system can generate enough electricity to cover a substantial portion of your household's energy needs. In some cases, it may even generate surplus electricity that can be fed back into the grid, allowing you to earn credits or receive compensation from your energy provider.

During your site assessment with South West Solar, our experts will assess your property and provide you with a detailed analysis of the expected electricity generation based on your specific circumstances.

On average, solar panel systems typically have a payback period ranging from 5 to 10 years.

The average payback period for a solar panel system can vary depending on several factors, including the initial cost of installation, the amount of energy generated, local electricity rates, available incentives, and individual energy consumption patterns.

It's worth noting that solar panel systems have a lifespan of 25 years or more, meaning you can enjoy significant financial benefits beyond the initial payback period. Once the system has paid for itself, you'll continue to reap the rewards of reduced energy bills and potentially even earn additional income through excess energy production.

Through the Solar for Schools Programme, we help schools save on energy bills, reduce their carbon footprint, and contribute to a sustainable future. Eligible schools can receive funding for the installation of up to 6kWp of solar panels, including grid connection and monitoring software.

The amount of space required on your roof to install solar panels depends on several factors, including the size and wattage of the panels and your energy consumption needs.

On average, a standard solar panel requires about 15-20 square feet (1.4-1.9 square meters) of roof space. However, it's important to note that this is a general estimate and can vary based on the specific type and size of solar panels you choose.

Our team will design a system that fits seamlessly into your home while maximising the solar energy potential.
