Generation

Electricity Needs

The consumer can expect to spend anywhere from €3000 upwards. Remember, the more PV that you install, the better the return on investment will become. Quality of panels, installation, and after-sales support matter most.

Micro-generation

Sell Excess Energy

You can help offset the price of your solar panels by selling any excess electricity back to the grid. This micro-generation reduces your carbon footprint for you and your community.

Installing Solar Panels in Ireland

Upgrade your home appliances with renewable solar power.

Before you make any decisions on what to get to upgrade the appliances in your home, you need to get as much information as possible on what options are available to you. You may have noticed that there are a lot of places that offer energy efficient appliances. The reason is because technology has evolved to the point where you can get more out of your appliances without spending as much money. When you start thinking along those lines, you can see why solar is a great idea. Consider this as well when you are making a decision:

  • Stop wasting money: Every year for the past decade you’ve seen your energy bill go up. You want to find a renewable source of power that is going to last and save you money for years to come.
  • Get it installed fast: There’s no heavy-duty construction or inconvenient installation, the solar panel system can be installed within a few hours with minimal alterations to your home or business.
  • Don’t worry about the weather: It doesn’t matter if it’s raining, cloudy, snowing or bright and sunny, these panels work off of solar radiation meaning they are still going to get a charge.

LVP's Selection of Solar PV Panels

LVP Renewables offers a great selection of solar panels for use in Irish homes and businesses and has options that are not only affordable but will help you to save a lot of money over the years to come. In addition to the already very reasonable prices of our solar panels, we can help you with applications for SEAI grants. With a number of options for photovoltaic solar power in Ireland, it is one of the most cost-effective solutions available today.

Photovoltaic solar panels generate DC electricity on the roof of homes and use inverter technology to change to AC electricity for use all around the house. They are quite affordable and are very commonly used in new building installations, complying with ‘Part L’ of the building regulations. Not using all the excess energy generated during the day will go back to the grid, or you can use electric battery or water heating storage to store any extra energy generated for use in non-day light hours.

Solar cells in a photovoltaic solar panel use the energy of the photon of light to stimulate electrons in the solar cells’ semi-conducting material. This is an excellent way to harness the energy of the sun and convert it into free energy that is beneficial to every household and commercial building in Ireland.
