In 2023, our team at JW Solar completed a one-day solar PV installation on a bungalow in Bagenalstown, Co. Carlow. The aim was simple – to reduce electricity costs, increase energy independence, and take full advantage of available SEAI grants for home solar systems.
⚙️ Solar PV System Details
This home was fitted with a 16-panel array of Jinko All Black 410W panels, paired with a Solis 5kW hybrid inverter. The system has a total capacity of 6.5kWp and includes a HARVI monitoring device, allowing the homeowner to track performance in real-time.
A hot water diverter was also installed, ensuring that excess solar energy is used to heat water, further reducing energy bills.
💡 Energy Production & Savings
This system is expected to generate approximately 5,250kWh of clean electricity each year. Based on the homeowner’s usage, that translates to around €1,102.50 in annual savings and covers roughly 60% of their total energy consumption.
With the SEAI grant of €2,100, the payback period for this installation is estimated at just 5 years – after which the savings will continue for decades.
🛠️ Solar PV Installation Process
The property’s south-facing roof was ideal for capturing sunlight throughout the day, with no shading issues from nearby trees or buildings. Our team completed the installation in a single day with no complications.
