What solar options can Solar123 help me explore?
We help homeowners understand panel, inverter and battery options and request quotes from installation providers.
How long does it take to get solar quotes?
After you send an enquiry, installation providers contact you to arrange a survey and a quote. Timing varies by provider, and installation dates are set by the installer you choose.
What maintenance is required for solar panels?
Solar panels generally need little maintenance, but ask your installer about inspections, monitoring and warranty terms. Solar123 does not carry out maintenance or repairs.
Can I add a battery to an existing solar system?
Often you can. We explain the options and help you request quotes from installers, who confirm whether your system is suitable.
How does solar battery storage work?
It stores excess solar energy during the day, so you can use it at night or during power outages.
Can I monitor my solar system remotely?
Many modern inverters and batteries include a monitoring app. Ask each installer which monitoring is included in their quote.
Are there government grants for solar?
Yes, SEAI offers grants for eligible homes. We explain the schemes and what to check, but you apply through SEAI. See our Solar Grants page for details.
What should a solar quote include?
A good quote lists panel and inverter models, system size, any battery, the price, warranties and what is not included. We can help you compare quotes.
What is the lifespan of a solar panel system?
Solar panels typically last 25 to 30 years or more, though inverters and batteries may need replacing sooner.
Is solar energy really worth the investment?
It depends on your home, usage and the quotes you receive. Solar can reduce electricity bills, but savings are not guaranteed.
What warranties come with solar systems?
Warranties are provided by the manufacturer and installer. Ask each installer for warranty terms in writing.
