FENNOR / SOLAR PANEL COSTS

What does solar cost?
Start with a complete quotation.

There is no responsible one-price answer for every roof. Fennor explains what changes the installed cost, how current grants fit and what a useful solar quotation should include before you compare totals.

YOUR PROJECT WITH FENNOR

The price is more than a panel count.
Compare the complete scope.

We explain the choices, the work involved and what happens next, so you can decide with a clearer picture.

01

A useful Irish benchmark — with context.

A 2026 market report based on SEAI Solar PV Scheme data puts the average pre-grant cost of grant-supported systems installed in 2025 at €10,529, with an average size of 6.23 kWp. Its estimates are about €9,450 without a battery and €12,800 with one. These are historic market averages across different homes and specifications, not a Fennor price list or a quotation for your property.

02

The roof and electrical work shape the price.

A quotation needs the measured layout, access, roof condition, cable route and the findings for the existing electrical installation. Extra panels are only one part of cost; scaffolding, protection, distribution work and making good can matter too.

03

Equipment needs a named specification.

We show the proposed panel, inverter, mounting system and any battery or accessories, including their capacities and warranties. That lets you compare what is actually being supplied rather than treating two different systems as the same package.

04

Grants reduce eligible cost, not design responsibility.

Eligible domestic PV can receive up to €1,800 and an eligible battery of at least 5 kWh can receive up to €600 under the current 2026 routes. We show the full installed price and possible support separately; SEAI eligibility and approval determine the award.

05

Savings need assumptions you can inspect.

The appraisal separates expected generation, direct use, export and tariff assumptions. We do not turn the most optimistic scenario into a guaranteed payback. You can see what changes if your routine, electricity price or export value changes.

USEFUL ANSWERS

Solar costs in 2026.
What should you compare?

Plain language. No pressure to have it all figured out.

01

How 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.

02

How 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.

03

Is 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.

04

Does 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.
