01How much do solar panels cost in Ireland in 2026?
+
As a dated market benchmark, a 2026 report based on SEAI scheme data gives an average pre-grant cost of €10,529 for systems installed in 2025, averaging 6.23 kWp. It estimates about €9,450 without a battery and €12,800 with one; the national average was €1,689 per kWp and the Meath average €1,725 per kWp. These figures cover different properties and specifications and are not a current Fennor quotation. Your roof, access, electrical work, equipment and storage choice determine the actual price.
02How much is the standard solar grant?
+
The current standard domestic Solar PV grant is capped at €1,800. An eligible battery of at least 5 kWh can have separate support of up to €600. Property, previous-funding, provider and approval conditions apply; the scheme administrator determines the award.
03Is the cheapest solar quotation the best value?
+
Not necessarily. Compare the roof assessment, named equipment, system design, installation work, electrical upgrades, output assumptions, monitoring, warranties, exclusions and aftercare. We take you through those lines before asking you to decide.
04Does a battery always improve the payback?
+
No. A battery adds cost and conversion losses. Its value depends on available surplus, evening demand, time-of-use tariffs, export value and what else you want storage to do. We compare solar alone and storage rather than treating a battery as automatic.
