FAQ
Solar Panel Installer questions, answered
Can I get a grant for solar panels?+
SEAI offers a solar PV grant for qualifying homes. Your TradesHero installer can explain the current grant and handle the documentation.
Do solar panels work in Ireland?+
Yes. Irish daylight is enough to generate worthwhile electricity year-round, with most generation between spring and autumn.
Can I sell electricity back to the grid?+
Yes. Under the Clean Export Guarantee your supplier pays you for surplus electricity you export.
Do I need a battery?+
A battery isn't essential but stores daytime generation for evening use, increasing how much of your own power you use.
