What to know about solar in Wicklow
Wicklow runs from the coast up into the mountains. Met Éireann notes that upland areas tend to get less bright sunshine, especially on slopes facing the prevailing wind, while coastal areas tend to get more. So a house in the hills and a house in Greystones can do quite differently, and we look at your actual site and shading before we give you a figure.
Planning
Rooftop solar on a house is often exempt from planning, but the exemptions have conditions, for example for protected structures and Architectural Conservation Areas. We check yours before we quote. In Wicklow, the planning authority is Wicklow County Council.
Choosing a solar installer in Wicklow
SEAI's advice is to use an SEAI-registered company, get a written quote, and ask how much energy the system will produce in a year, what it costs in total, what warranty comes with it, and whether your roof suits solar. We're an SEAI-registered solar PV company, and our written proposal gives you named equipment, a clear price and the yearly generation we expect from your roof. We don't publish prices, because every roof and every home's usage is different.
