Going Solar in Cork: 2025 Sees Surge in Home Installations


Cork homeowners are embracing solar energy like never before, with a significant rise in residential solar panel installations across the county in 2025. From west cork to the city families are making the switch to clean, renewable energy—cutting their electricity bills and increasing home value in the process.

Why More Cork Homes Are Installing Solar Panels

Several factors are driving this residential solar boom:

  • SEAI Grants Up to €2,400
    The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) offers generous grants for homeowners who install solar PV systems.

  • Lower Electricity Bills
    With rising energy costs, solar panels offer Cork families long-term savings—often reducing bills by 50–80%.

  • Boosted Property Value
    Homes with solar installations are more attractive to eco-conscious buyers and can see increased resale value.

  • Environmental Impact
    Solar energy helps reduce your carbon footprint and supports Cork’s efforts toward a low-carbon future.


What’s Included in a Typical Home Installation?

Most Cork homeowners choose:

  • 6–10 solar PV panels

  • Hybrid inverter

  • Optional battery storage

  • Smart monitoring system

  • SEAI-certified installation
