Technical FAQs 4

Will Irish citizens be able to pay for rooftop solar?

Irish citizens will be entitled to payment for exporting power they generate themselves and rooftop solar planning restrictions are due to be eased. The EU Solar Energy Strategy sets out a growth trajectory for solar PV with provision for all new residences to have rooftop solar PV from 2029.

How many rooftops in Ireland are suitable for solar PV?

National estimates suggest over 1 million rooftops in Ireland are suitable for solar PV. Unlocking that potential is essential if we’re to meet our 2030 Climate Action Plan (CAP) targets and build a secure, decarbonised electricity system.

Is solar a good option for residential electricity generation in Ireland?

Ireland is known more for wind and waves rather than sunshine, but advances in solar technology and reductions in cost now make it an attractive technology for residential electricity generation in Ireland. Solar panels that produce electricity are known as solar photovoltaic (PV) modules.

What is the growth of solar energy in Ireland?

The growth of solar energy in Ireland is remarkable. We now have over 140,000 customers harnessing the power of solar panels. In total, 1.7 GW of solar electricity generation is connected across the transmission and distribution networks with continued strong growth expected over the years ahead.
