“Stephen came out and accessed the Farm Buildings and gave us a quotation. Stephen came back out and signed the contract and looked after all the paperwork for us including the BER Grant for the house, it was a very very simple process to go through.

I’m delighted with the system, when we first looked at installing it was purely for the financial reasons for the cost of energy. I’m doing the sustainable academy with Tirlán and I’m now much more aware of the carbon usage on the farm and for me that’s the biggest advantage of having solar panels. Now it’s the carbon that we’re saving.

I’m really happy with our solar panels and I would highly recommend Tirlán’s FarmGen programme, we were looked after from the very beginning, our first sales calls to the end of the installation and the support afterwards have been incredible, so I would highly recommend it.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a solar PV system cost?
Costs vary depending on the system size and your energy needs. Typical residential systems range anywhere from €8,000 to €14,000 after SEAI grants.
How long does it take to pay for itself?
Most residential systems pay for themselves within 4-6 years through electricity savings and export tariffs. Commercial payback is much faster, but it depends on energy usage.
Do solar panels work in Ireland?
Yes! Ireland receives enough sunlight to make solar panels very effective. They work on cloudy days too.
What grants are available?
SEAI offers grants of up to €1,800 for residential solar PV installations and up to €162,200 for non-domestic (farm and commercial) solar. Additional grants may be available for battery storage.
