Solar Power for Homes in Ireland

And installing solar power means you have not just made a choice to help the environment and leave a cleaner world for your children, but to also dramatically reduce your household bills.

What type of solar power do I choose?

There are two main types of solar energy. Solar photovoltaic energy, which generates electricity and solar water heating, which obviously produces hot water.

The Benefits of Solar Energy

For a start, your electricity or water bills will be a lot lower which means more money in your pocket. Most systems should last 25 years with virtually no maintenance, so once the system is installed, there are minimal costs because the energy from the sun is completely free.

Claiming the various Irish government rebates can dramatically reduce your initial outlay for. Most people are put off installing solar power for homes due to the initial outlay but most governments are now offering large rebates, which means home-owners can save even more when using solar energy.

Become independent of spiralling energy prices and power shortages. We have seen how volatile world energy can be, so protect yourself from the wild price rises that the utility companies impose on us and become independent.

Preserve the environment for yourself and your children by using clean, renewable energy that is unharmful to our planet and won't add to all the rising pollution and damage we are doing to the planet.

Sell electricity back to the utility companies. Your home solar power system saves any surplus electricity on the utility grid, feeding it back into the grid and generating you money. At night, when there is no sunlight, the system will draw the electricity you need back from the grid automatically. Neat eh?
