How Solar Works

Turn your home into a renewable power station and generate clean, free electricity for the next 30 years.

Clean free Electricity

How solar works is a combination of technology, economics, and expertise.

Technology

The Solar Panels

During daylight hours your panels are working to produce power for your home. When light hits your solar panels the silicon in the panels reacts to generate direct current (DC) electricity.

The Solar Inverter

We connect your solar panels to a small inverter in your attic that then converts the electricity from direct current (DC) to alternate current (AC), which is what you need in order to power your home

The Free Electricity

We connect the inverter to your existing fuse board and then you enjoy clean, green and completely free electricity in your home.

The Hot Water Diverter

Any excess power you produce can be diverted to heating your water so that you will always have a full tank of hot water when you need it. In addition, you will notice a big reduction in your oil or gas bills as they won’t be used to heat your water.

The Battery

To ensure no electricity is wasted your smart battery stores excess power so that you can enjoy the benefits of solar energy even at night.

The Grid

Heretofore, any excess power produced at this point was sent back to the grid and you didn’t get paid for it. That has all changed with the launch of Ireland’s new Feed-in Tariff scheme which will see you paid for every excess unit of electricity you produce.

Economics

Panel Prices

Solar Panel prices have fallen 90%, there has never been a better time to install panels on your home

Price Hikes

Electricity prices in Ireland are increasing every month. High inflation, global shocks, and carbon taxes mean this trend will likely continue into the future.

Government Incentives

Generous grants and a new feed-in tariff mean that investing in solar panels has never made more sense than it does today.

Expertise

Solar Specialists

As more and more people in Ireland choose to go solar, many electricians and plumbers are now offering solar. Some companies also do heat pumps, roof insulation, boilers, and windows and so now they’ve decided to do solar too. We take a different approach. We believe that if you are putting a system on your roof that will perform every day for the next 30 years you must make sure it is designed and installed by experts whose sole focus is on solar power generation.

Aftercare Service

We monitor every panel we install 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We ensure your system is performing as it should and are always on hand to answer any queries and provide advice on how to maximise the benefit you get from your new solar system. Our mission is to help Ireland go green by harnessing the potential of solar power and that goal depends on you being so happy with your experience that you tell everyone you know about how great it is to go solar with Blue Solar.
