Ballincollig is one of the largest suburbs in the country and most of it went up from the 1980s onward, which means estate housing with consistent roof pitches and very little shading. That is close to ideal: the survey is quick and the install usually straightforward.

Up to €1,800 towards a domestic solar PV system of 4kWp or above, and up to €300 towards a home EV charger. We handle the paperwork and the grant is deducted from what you pay.
Since October 2021 rooftop solar is exempt from planning permission for most Irish homes. The exceptions are protected structures and a small number of zones near airports.
A survey first to confirm the roof and size the system properly, then a typical install of one to two days. Roof work and the electrical side usually run at the same time.
More detail on grants, sizing and maintenance is on our frequently asked questions page, or see what a home solar system involves.
