Douglas mixes older detached houses with newer estate development, so the roof is the variable rather than the household. It is also one of the areas where we most often fit a battery, because a lot of homes here are empty through the day and using the power in the evening.

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.
