Financing for Your Home Solar Panels

Getting solar panels for your home is a significant upfront investment. Even though they will pay for themselves many times over, some people might not be able to afford that cost.

There are multiple financing options available in Ireland to reduce or eliminate that upfront price and make solar power more widely available.

Our guide explains how such financing options will affect the long term costs and savings for solar panels.

Understanding Solar Panel Specifications

Solar panels are a highly advanced piece of technology, with a language of their own to describe how they operate.

Our glossary will help you to understand some of the key terminology for describing the performance of solar panels so you can feel more confident in making your choice.

What Size Solar Inverter Does Your Home Need?

The solar inverter is the heart of any solar PV system, connecting the panels to your home and converting their output into something you can use.

However, you need the right capacity of solar inverter to be paired with the output of your solar panels and the demands of your home.

We explain the factors that go into selecting the right capacity solar inverter for your home.
