Some Companies benefiting from PV Installer Training PV Solar Installation Information News Solar panels can now save homeowners more than €24,000 Homeowners who add solar panels to their homes can now cover the cost of the work in seven years – and they can make net savings of more than €24,000 over 25 years after installation costs, a new survey reveals. The Irish Independent Swyft Energy Solar PV Index shows that a standard 12-panel system can completely pay for itself in seven years. The repayment period has dropped by almost half – it was 12 years in 2021. Experts said this was due to the fact that average Irish electricity market prices are 53pc higher than in 2021. The removal of Vat on solar panel installation has also meant the pay-back time has reduced. Chief executive of Swyft Energy, Adrian Casey, said: “The figures show that, on average, Irish householders could make net savings of €24,327 over the next 25 years by installing solar PV (photovoltaic) panels now.
