SOLAR PV
How does it work?
Solar PV (photovoltaic) panels use daylight to produce electricity. These panels generate DC electricity when exposed to light.
This DC current is then passed through an inverter and converted in to AC current, which can be used to run your household appliances and electronics - tv, fridge, cooker, washing machine etc.
The amount of electricity a solar PV array can generate depends on the size of the solar PV system, the size and type of panels, the geographical location and the direction & tilt that the panels are installed.
A solar PV system usually includes solar panels, a mounting system (either roof mounts or grounding mounting) and an inverter. You could also add a battery for storing excess energy produced during daylight hours for later use. Solar diverters are also popular for heating water.
The SEAI currently offers Solar PV grants to householders subject to certain conditions. For more information, please contact us or visit their website www.seai.ie

WHY GO SOLAR?
Simple - if money fell from the sky, would you catch it?
-
Save money on your electricity bills - Switching to Solar PV will significantly cut your electricity bills right from day one. By generating your own energy, you reduce the amount you need to buy from your electricity supplier, making it a smart financial choice. With rising electricity costs, investing in solar not only saves you money now, but also helps secure your energy future. Embrace the power of solar and start saving today.
-
Improve your BER (Building Energy Rating)- by installing solar PV, you will automatically improve your property's BER rating.
-
Increase your property value - as your BER rating improves so too does the value of your property. An enhanced BER not only makes your home more energy-efficient but also attracts potential buyers looking for cost-effective living. Everyone desires a home that is affordable to run, and with energy-efficient upgrades, you can achieve just that. Invest in your property’s future and enjoy the benefits of increased value.
