FAQ

Installing solar panels in Ireland offers several benefits. First and foremost, it allows you to generate clean and renewable energy, reducing your carbon footprint and contributing to a greener environment. Solar panels can significantly lower your electricity bills by generating electricity from the sun’s free and abundant energy. Additionally, installing solar panels can potentially increase the value of your property and provide a reliable source of energy even during power outages.

The amount of energy your solar panels can produce depends on several factors, including the size and efficiency of the panels, the orientation and tilt angle of the installation, and the local weather conditions. On average, a well-designed solar panel system in Ireland can generate around 900-1,200 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per installed kilowatt peak (kWp) annually.

Solar panel systems are designed to be durable and long-lasting. Most solar panels come with a warranty of 25 years, which is a good indication of their lifespan. However, solar panels can continue to produce electricity beyond their warranty period, with some systems lasting 30 years or more.

Solar panels generally require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning of the panels to remove dust, dirt, and debris is recommended to optimize their performance. Additionally, it’s important to ensure that the panels remain unobstructed by trees or other objects that could cast shadows.
