How Much Will a PV Solar System Save Me?

Depending on the location of your home and the way in which you use your electrical appliances. A PV Solar power systems can save you up to 40% on your annual electricity bill.

Solar Energy is fast becoming one of the cheapest forms of renewable energy and is a great plus for the environment.

Does the system have a warranty?

All systems come with a manufacturer’s warranty of 25 years on your panels. For more information on individual products please contact a member of our team.

Is my home suitable for a solar panel system?

For your solar panel system to work effectively, the ideal roof is south-facing and unshaded, particularly from other trees or buildings. There needs to be approximately 25 square metres of clear roof space. The system charges in daylight and not just in sunshine, as often thought. Surprisingly, a solar system in Ireland will produce the equivalent of 70% of what it would generate in the Mediterranean, so we just put up extra panels to reach the level of generation you need.

Why should I switch to Solar?

The sun rises every day. That’s why solar power is a completely renewable, reliable and clean energy source. It reduces your reliance on dirty sources of power such as oil, coal and natural gas, which produce harmful emissions affecting our health and environment.
