The questions everyone actually asks
Grounded in our independent analysis of thousands of real Irish installs — not a sales script.
Three real quotes, side by side. You choose.
Vetted installers quote for your roof in one place — compare like-for-like and pick who you talk to.
No catch. You're not the product.
AskSolar is free for homeowners because installers pay a small fee for a qualified introduction — only when you choose to talk to them.
Qualified homeowner leads in your counties.
Real homeowners who've estimated their cost and asked to compare quotes — not cold names from a list. Pay per lead, nothing else.
The questions before the questions.
Plain answers. If something's still unclear, ask it and we'll answer from our analysis.
Most homes land between €7,500 and €9,200for a typical 6 kWp system after the SEAI grant — though it depends on your roof, system size and whether you add a battery. Our estimator gives you a realistic band in about a minute, with the grant already deducted.
For 2026 the SEAI solar PV grant is a flat €1,800. Your installer typically applies it so you pay the reduced amount — every figure on AskSolar is shown after the grant, so there are no surprises later.
For most Irish homes it's roughly 6–9 years, depending on your bills, roof aspect and whether you export to the grid. Homes on higher bills with south or east-west roofs tend to pay back fastest. The estimator shows your likely yearly saving.
You only share your details when youdecide to request quotes. Vetted installers who cover your area then quote for your roof. Installers pay a small per-lead fee for that introduction — you never pay, and we never push your number out to people you didn't choose.
You can use the estimator and read answers without giving any contact details. When you request quotes, your details go only to the specific installers you picked — never sold on, never handed to call centres. You can ask us to delete everything at any time.
