Check Your Quote Solar PV

Seventy Plus

When we are seeking a solar PV installation we think of: the number of panels; a hybrid or a string inverter; a battery; or a diverter. In addition optimisers might be needed.

Use the following to work out a price for negotiation with installers. There are different inverter and different panels etc. Which would make for variation.

10 Panels with standard inverter €5,400

Plus for hybrid inverter €500

Plus for each additional panel 1/2 €150

Plus for further additional panels €125

Plus for each optimiser if necessary €50

Plus for diverter €600

Plus for 5K battery €2,500

Plus for BER if included €250

At present panels seem to be at least 435w

Your total will be a gross price before grant and this is the amount you will be paying Installer.

If an Installer quote is far off these figures it is excessive.

There will be differing views as to these amounts, the intention is to assist people get the best value. The trajectory on prices is downwards, and the above will be amended from time to time.

Do not confine yourself to getting quotes from local installers, many operate Nationwide.

At an early stage you should seek clarification on deposit protection; and any additional costs as to: optimisers if required; earth rod issues etc.

The SEAI places an obligation on the Installer and Applicants for grants to enter into a Written Contract. Insist upon this as it is important for clarification in case of dispute.
