Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most often from homeowners, business owners, and farmers across Roscommon.

How much does a solar installation cost in Roscommon?

The cost depends on the size of the system, the type of panels, and whether you're adding battery storage. For a typical Roscommon home, a 4kWp system might range from €6,000 to €9,000 before the SEAI grant is applied. The 2026 SEAI Solar PV grant provides up to €1,800 for a 4kWp or larger system, calculated at €700 per kWp for the first 2kWp and €200 per kWp from 2 to 4kWp. We provide a detailed written quote for every enquiry at no charge.

What SEAI grants are available for solar in Roscommon?

The 2026 SEAI Solar PV grant provides up to €1,800 for residential installations, calculated at €700 per kWp for the first 2kWp and €200 per kWp from 2 to 4kWp. As an SEAI approved installer, Saunderson Solar handles the grant application on your behalf.

How long does a solar installation take?

Most residential installations in Roscommon are completed in one to two days. Commercial or larger agricultural installations may take longer depending on the scale. The full process from consultation to system going live typically takes four to eight weeks, much of which involves the grant application and grid connection paperwork rather than physical installation time.

Will solar panels work on a cloudy day in Ireland?

Yes. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not direct sunshine. Even on overcast days, your panels will produce power. Ireland receives enough sunlight annually to make solar a very worthwhile investment.

Is my roof suitable for solar panels?

Most roofs in Roscommon are suitable for solar, including south, south-east, and south-west facing roofs. East and west-facing roofs also work well. Our surveyor will assess your roof during a free site survey.

Can I sell my excess solar electricity back to the grid?

Yes. The Clean Export Guarantee scheme allows eligible households and businesses in Roscommon to receive payment for solar electricity exported to the grid. We register your system with ESB Networks as part of our installation process.

Do solar panels require much maintenance?

Solar panels are largely maintenance-free. Rain generally keeps them clean in Ireland. We recommend a professional inspection every two to three years. Our maintenance packages include inspections, cleaning, and performance reports.
