Common questions about solar installation
Our expert team answers the most common questions we receive about solar.
We asked: Christina Ngo, Solar Operations Manager
“It really varies from house to house, from household to household. A good estimate is anywhere between €7,000 to €12,000 depending on the number of panels and other variables.”
We asked: Leo Stafford, Services Manager
“Your payback period will depend on your specific energy costs. The higher your consumption, the shorter your payback period will be. We’ve seen customers with payback within four to five years already on their solar systems. With others, it’s more like seven to 10 years. Our team always starts with a free home survey. We can give you a good idea of your payback period before you decide to go forward."
We asked: Jair Lopez, Solar Support Coordinator
“There’s a difference in materials, product, workmanship. When we design someone’s home system, we put ourselves in the position of the homeowner and future-proof it as much as we can. To do that, we add items that other installers typically wouldn’t include. We also support customers with daily monitoring of their systems throughout the first year it's in place. We’re always a call away.”
We asked: Christina Ngo, Solar Operations Manager
“Solar works quite effectively from April to October. The sunnier it is, the more you will generate. But you will still generate even on dark, cloudy days. Even in winter months, you’ll see generation.”
We asked: Christina Ngo, Solar Operations Manager
“It’s not the payback period you should be concerned about. Futureproofing is more important. Ask yourself, will you get an electric vehicle? Is your family growing and how many years will your kids live at home? Will you stay in your home to retirement? Solar is going to deliver for the next 30 years and beyond, adding value to your home. Think about your energy use for the next 20, 30, 40 years and install a system that can provide that.
“You could have a short-term phase one and phase two plan. This is where a good installer like Bord Gáis Energy will sit down and discuss it with you."
