About Solar Photovoltaic Cells
At the heart of our solar installations are engineering marvels called photovoltaic cells. These work by converting sunlight into electricity. Incredibly efficient, these work even without direct sunlight (perfect for Ireland!) and can save you money on your energy bills, and are guaranteed to continue doing so for over twenty years!
With obvious benefits for businesses and householders, solar energy also helps to protect the environment.
Cutting Costs with Solar Panels
Both residential and commercial customers can make big savings on their utility bills with a solar panel installation. An average household can expect to save €1100 annually on their electricity costs.
With the rise in energy costs showing no signs of abating, Solar PV systems let you break free of this burden and lock in your own electricity costs for 25 years.
Contact us today to find out more about how Solar PV systems can slash your electricity costs by up to 70%!
Other Benefits of Solar Photovoltaic Systems
- The benefits of solar PV systems don’t just save you money on your energy bills. There are numerous other major benefits of installing a solar energy system. Amongst the other huge plusses are:
- Reduced Carbon Emissions – We are all acutely aware that we need to take action to reduce our carbon emissions. By helping to break our reliance on fossil fuels, Solar PV systems can help protect the environment by reducing your carbon footprint.
- Battery Storage – Battery storage can save excess electricity until you need it!
- Water Heating – A solar PV system can heat your water when there is a supply excess.
- Supply the grid – Excess power can be sold to the power grid, further reducing costs.
- Low Maintenance – Solar PV cells are virtually maintenance-free and are designed and guaranteed to run for over twenty years.
- Silent – Unlike other renewable energy systems like wind power, a solar PV system is completely silent, making it perfect for urban and residential applications.
How Solar PV Systems Work
The technology behind Solar PV systems is not new, but modern systems are far more efficient. This efficiency allows them to produce more power from less solar energy. A simple explanation of how solar PV systems work is described below:
- A semi-conducting material in the photovoltaic cell uses sunlight to create Direct Current (DC) electricity.
- The DC electricity is routed to an inverter that converts the electricity to Alternating Current (AC) – The amount of electricity that a cell can optimally produce is known as kilowatt peak (kWp).
- Excess electricity can be used to heat water, charge batteries, or get exported to the grid.

Sustainable Energy Authority Ireland Grant
At McArdle & Traynor, we are proud to work with the SEAI. SEAI grants are available to help pay for the materials and installation of your solar PV system.
The amount of funding available is dependent on the power of the solar PV system you install. The following figures show the level of funding available (correct at the time of writing):
- €900 per kWp up to 2 kWp
- €300 for each additional kWp up to 4 kWp
This means that a 3 kWp installation will be eligible for a €2100 grant, and a 4 kWp will be eligible for €2400. This is the maximum payment allowed in the scheme.
