Technical FAQs 4

Do inverters work in Ireland?

Inverters are the unsung heroes of any solar system — they convert DC electricity from your panels into the AC power your home uses. In Ireland, the right inverter type can boost your energy efficiency and even enable future battery storage.

How many watts can a solar inverter run in Ireland?

The official amperage limit for solar inverters in Ireland is 25 Amps. This works out to 5.75 kW assuming the official Irish voltage of 230 Volts. However, for a long time, you could get permission to install any inverter up to 6 kW, without issue. This is changing, as ESBN are now looking to strictly enforce the 25 A limit.

Are thin film solar panels used in Ireland?

Thin film panels are flexible and portable, but rarely used in Irish homes. Inverters convert solar energy into usable electricity, string inverters are most common in Ireland. Microinverters and hybrid inverters offer better performance for shaded or complex roofs. SEAI-approved systems must use certified inverters and panel types.

How much solar power will Ireland generate by 2024?

18 April 2024 Ireland’s Climate Action Plan sets a clear target of generating 8GW (8,000MW) of solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity by 2030.
