Yes, you will be compensated for excess power generated by your panels. In February 2022, legislation was passed in The Dáil to enable the payment of a Feed-In Tariff for surplus electricity sent back to the grid.
However, it's advisable to use as much of the power you generate in your own home, as the compensation for selling electricity back to the grid is lower than the cost of buying electricity. Batteries provide an effective solution for storing excess solar energy for future use.
Who makes the best solar PV panels?
For our installations, we only use top-quality equipment and will guide you to the best choice for your specific needs. While many manufacturers produce solar panels, the choice can be based on factors such as market popularity and performance. We ensure you get the most reliable and efficient panels for your solar system.
Solar Energy = Energy Security
Solar PV Panels are a reliable source of energy that complements the Irish grid. Installing solar panels on your home doesn't disconnect you from the grid; instead, it reduces your reliance on it. Solar panels empower you to generate your own clean, renewable energy, ensuring a consistent source of power, regardless of external factors.
Furthermore, solar energy leads to more predictable energy costs. While market fluctuations affect oil and gas prices, solar energy remains free. As energy prices increase over the years due to inflation, your solar panels become an even more valuable investment.
Battery for Electricity Storage
In addition to solar panels, you may choose to install a battery. This is crucial if you aim to utilize all the electricity generated in your home. Solar power should either be used immediately or stored, as excess energy is exported to the grid. The battery provides storage for surplus energy until you need it.
You also have the option to sell any excess energy back to the grid, with different providers offering varying rates per kWh, known as the Feed-In Tariff (FIT).

3 Ways Solar Panels Benefit Everyone
By adopting solar energy, you contribute to more than just personal savings. Homeowners who install solar panels provide substantial benefits to society as a whole:
Economic Boost: By generating their own power, homeowners reduce the need to import fossil fuels, bolstering the local economy and decreasing reliance on foreign energy sources.
Energy Security: Lower dependence on foreign fuels ensures consistent access to affordable energy, reducing the risk of supply disruptions due to international conflicts or environmental catastrophes abroad.
Reduced Carbon Footprint: Switching to solar power results in an annual reduction of approximately 1 metric ton of carbon emissions per average home. Over the system's lifetime, this equates to preventing over 25 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a cleaner environment for future generations.
