What's happening?

Many people don’t realise that they could be saving money on their energy bills with solar panels.
Even in Ireland’s sometimes gloomy weather, savvy homeowners are able to save, as photovoltaic solar panels are dependent on daylight and can produce electricity even when it’s cloudy.
The government’s latest solar grant helps eligible individuals claim up to €3000 towards the cost of installing solar panels.2
And this grant don’t just cover the cost of the solar panels themselves, but also the cost of installation as well.
Solar: The Future of Cheap Energy
According to studies in the UK, solar energy is set to become the 2nd cheapest form of energy within the next few years.3
This means that there’s never been a better time to jump on the bandwagon.
Most houses in Ireland are suitable for a 2 kiloWatt solar panel installation, which is enough to supply over a third of all your electricity needs.4
And remember, once you’ve paid for the installation, all of the electricity produced is completely free. This can reduce the cost of your electricity bill enormously.
-
Solar panels will even work in places where the weather is gloomy.
-
You could reduce your bills by using the energy you produce in your own home.
-
Solar energy is much more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels.
