Choosing to equip your Newcastle home with solar panels is an astute decision that brings considerable rewards for your property, the environment, and your finances. By producing your own environmentally-friendly and renewable electricity, you stand to make substantial reductions in your electricity bills, with typical savings ranging from 70% to an impressive 95%. Attaining these savings is straightforward with solar panel systems that are professionally designed and installed.

Our expert team, specialising in solar PV panel and system installations, holds full SEAI registration and insurance, ensuring the highest standard of workmanship. We have exclusive collaborations with the top manufacturers in the solar equipment sector, offering you the benefit of long-term warranties, usually extending for more than 25 years. These warranties are key in securing continuous financial returns from your solar panel investment.

The installation of solar panels is not just a wise financial move; it also significantly improves your Building Energy Rating (BER) score, often leading to a higher overall BER rating. This enhancement can greatly increase your property’s market value, as BER ratings are increasingly important in property assessments. Homes with a BER score of B3 or higher may also be eligible for green mortgages at lower interest rates, translating into considerable savings over the mortgage’s lifetime.

In addition to the monetary benefits, a well-designed solar photovoltaic (PV) or solar PV system substantially lowers your carbon footprint. By generating clean and sustainable electricity, you contribute to the preservation of the environment and show a commitment to sustainable practices.

For those with or planning to install a heat pump, it’s important to note that these systems, while energy-efficient in heating, require electricity to operate. As a result, this might lead to an increase in your electricity bills.

Newcastle homeowners, particularly those with properties built and occupied before December 31, 2020, can take advantage of a SEAI government grant of up to €2,100 for installing solar panels. This grant offers a perfect opportunity to switch to solar energy, enabling significant savings on both electricity and gas bills. Additionally, incorporating a hot water diverter system and smart heating controls can yield further savings every year.
