Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What size commercial PV panel system does my business need?

Commercial PV panels in Ireland typically range from 2kW for small offices up to 400kW or more for large warehouses and factories, with the right size depending on your roof space and annual electricity usage. A site survey and a copy of your previous year's ESB bills are usually enough for an installer to recommend an appropriately sized system.

What is the payback period for commercial PV panels in Ireland?

Commercial PV systems typically pay back within 3 to 8 years, depending on system size, equipment quality, and how much of the generated electricity your business uses on-site during operating hours. Businesses with high daytime electricity usage, such as manufacturing or retail, tend to see faster payback than those with lower daytime consumption.

Can commercial PV panels be installed on any type of roof?

Yes. Commercial PV panels can be engineered for installation on membrane, bitumen, or metal roofs, with non-penetrative mounting options available to avoid compromising the roof's waterproofing. An experienced installer will calculate roof capacity and wind loadings as part of the design process to ensure the system is safe and compliant.

Are there tax benefits to installing commercial solar PV in Ireland?

Yes. Under the Accelerated Capital Allowance scheme, businesses can write off 100% of the cost of qualifying solar equipment against taxable income in the first year, which can significantly improve the overall return on a commercial PV investment when combined with the NDMG grant.

How much does a commercial solar PV system cost in Ireland?

Commercial solar PV typically costs between €850 and €2,000 per kWp installed, so a 50kWp system might run €40,000 to €55,000 before grant support. Larger systems generally cost less per kWp due to economies of scale, and your final price depends on roof type, equipment quality, and site complexity.

Do I need planning permission for commercial PV panels?

In most cases, no. Commercial buildings can install up to 300 square metres of rooftop solar without planning permission, and for buildings outside Solar Safeguarding Zones near airports or helipads, roof-mounted systems are generally unrestricted in area. Ground-mounted commercial arrays and large-scale solar farms are treated differently and may require full planning permission.

As part of the conservation plan of LVP Renewables, we plant a tree for every solar system we sell. This is our way of offsetting any carbon footprint created by our team visiting your premises when we survey and install a solar system.
