Steps For Going Solar ➔
Gain complete control over your property's solar generation and energy usage with photovoltaic technology.
Solar PV panels give you control over energy generation at home, farm, or business. Produce your own solar electricity from direct sunlight, reducing reliance on the power grid. Solar generation offers predictability in managing electricity prices, allowing storage of excess solar electricity for periods of low sunlight or peak electricity demand.
Real-time monitoring and hybrid inverter technology enable efficient energy management. Controlling electricity production and consumption keeps your electricity meter low and supports sustainable, cost-effective energy use. Add battery storage to maximise the management of electricity generated and increase the benefits of your solar PV system and solar electricity generated.
Solar PV panels work through a fascinating process that converts sunlight directly into usable electricity. Each photovoltaic cell contains semiconductor material, typically silicon, that creates an electric current when exposed to light. This DC electricity is then converted by a hybrid inverter into AC power that can be used in your home or business.
Modern solar cells have evolved significantly since the first solar cell was developed in the 1950s. Today's photovoltaic technology achieves remarkable efficiency, with premium solar PV panels converting up to 22% of the sun's energy into electricity. This makes solar power an increasingly viable energy source even in regions with variable weather conditions.
When your solar PV system generates more electricity than needed, this excess electricity can be:
Stored in a battery storage system for later use
Used to heat water via an immersion heater
Exported to the national grid for payment
Directed to specific appliances through intelligent power management
While most residential and commercial installations use solar PV panels (called photovoltaic technology), another approach called concentrated solar power is used primarily in solar parks and utility-scale solar projects. Concentrated solar power uses mirrors to focus sunlight, which then produces heat to generate electricity through thermal processes.
For Irish properties, standard solar PV systems are typically more practical and cost-effective than concentrated solar power installations. These systems efficiently convert sunlight into electricity even on cloudy days, making them suitable for Ireland's climate.
With Solar Path, your property becomes both financially advantageous and environmentally responsible through advanced solar PV technology.

Adding battery storage to your solar PV installation transforms how you use the energy generated. A battery storage system allows you to:
Store excess electricity produced during daylight hours
Use your own solar electricity during evening periods
Reduce dependence on the national grid
Maintain power during grid outages
Optimise self-consumption of solar energy
Modern lithium-ion battery systems integrate seamlessly with solar PV panels through advanced hybrid inverter technology. This combination creates a comprehensive energy solution that maximises the value of your solar investment by ensuring more of the electricity generated remains available for your use.
For properties with higher electricity demand or those seeking greater energy independence, battery storage represents a logical extension of solar power technology, complementing the solar array and enhancing overall system performance.
Despite Ireland's climate, modern solar PV panels work effectively even in diffuse light conditions. The average Irish home can generate more than half its electricity needs through properly installed solar photovoltaics.
Individual solar panels continue to improve in efficiency, with today's solar cells capturing more of the sun's energy than ever before. Modern PV systems require less direct sunlight than older energy technologies, making them ideal for Irish weather conditions.
Adding solar battery storage to your installation allows you to store excess power for use during evening hours. This technology maximises self-consumption of solar energy produced and minimises reliance on the electricity network.
With rising electricity prices from traditional electricity suppliers, solar power provides protection against future cost increases. The exported electricity payment scheme also compensates you for sending more electricity back to the national grid than you consume.

The average Irish home requires a 3-4kWp solar PV system to generate significant electricity savings. This typically means installing 8-12 solar panels, depending on their individual power rating. A properly sized solar PV system can produce 2,500-3,500 kWh annually, supplying 50-70% of a typical household's electricity demand.
Yes, solar panels are increasingly worthwhile investments in Ireland. Modern solar PV technology works efficiently even in Ireland's climate, and with rising electricity prices, solar power typically delivers a return on investment within 5-7 years. Government incentives through the solar PV grant and payments for excess electricity further enhance the financial benefits.
Yes, businesses can sell surplus electricity generated by their commercial solar power systems back to the grid through the Micro-generation Support Scheme. The Clean Export Guarantee (CEG) provides payments for this excess energy, creating an additional revenue stream.
This scheme is particularly advantageous for businesses that generate more solar power during weekends or public holidays when their energy consumption is lower.
For commercial solar installations, PERC and monocrystalline panels are generally the optimal choice. These panels deliver higher efficiency ratings (up to 22%), greater power capacity per square metre, superior performance in restricted spaces, improved low-light performance, and extended lifespan and reliability.
