Free site survey
We measure roof space, check for shading, confirm access, and review the electrical set-up. We will ask about your usage patterns, smart meter status, and future plans like EV charging.

Solar PV installation is a building and electrical job. We treat it that way: proper roof fixings, weatherproof penetrations, safe isolators, and a handover that shows you how to monitor generation and savings.
Our solar PV installation service (Dublin and Leinster)
SolarField is a Dublin 3 based solar PV installer focused on long-term performance. In 2026, many households search for “best solar panels Ireland” or “solar installers Dublin” and end up comparing brands. The reality is that a good outcome comes from design, fitting, and commissioning. Panels are part of a system that also includes mounting, cable routes, isolators, inverter sizing, and monitoring. When those details are done correctly, you get predictable generation, safer electrics, and less hassle over the life of the system.
We install domestic solar PV across the Greater Dublin Area, with regular work in North Dublin and Clontarf. We also cover Wicklow, Meath, Kildare, and Louth, and we can take on suitable projects nationwide. Whether you want a straightforward PV system to cut bills or you want to plan for battery storage, we design with practical Irish usage in mind.
System design
We recommend a system size (kWp) based on your roof and your annual consumption. We explain expected generation in kWh and how to increase self-consumption with simple scheduling.
Professional installation
Roof mounting is fitted to suit your roof type and exposure. We keep cable runs neat and weatherproof, and we install isolators and protections to current standards for safe operation.
Commissioning and monitoring
We commission the system, confirm generation, and set up monitoring so you can track performance. We also explain what “good” looks like so you can spot changes quickly.
Grant-friendly installation and paperwork
Many customers choose SolarField because they want the SEAI Solar Electricity Grant handled cleanly. As an SEAI-registered installer, we provide the documentation that supports your application and helps you avoid common delays. If you want to understand the grant before you commit, our guide explains the current maximum of €1,800, how grant bands work, and what eligibility typically involves.
What makes a good solar PV system in Ireland in 2026?
The best solar panels in Ireland are the panels that are matched to your roof and installed with a proper electrical design. For Dublin homes, we often see two common goals: reduce electricity bills for a family home and improve predictability of monthly costs. Solar PV can do both, but performance depends on shading, roof orientation, and how much of your generated electricity you use on-site instead of exporting.
A practical design starts with the roof. South and south-west faces are strong in Dublin, but east-west roofs can also work well, often spreading generation across the day. We check for nearby trees, chimneys, and dormers that create shade. We also assess whether a split array will suit your roof layout and whether your inverter sizing supports the output without unnecessary clipping.
Next is your usage. If someone is at home during the day, solar can directly power appliances and reduce imports immediately. If the home is busy in the evenings, battery storage can increase self-consumption by storing surplus generation. We discuss this during your survey and can build a “PV-ready” layout that makes a battery addition straightforward later.
Typical outcomes we plan for
- Reduce imported electricity by increasing daytime self-consumption.
- Clear monitoring to track generation, usage, and export over time.
- Neat, safe electrical work with properly labelled isolation points.
- Grant-friendly paperwork through an SEAI-registered installer.
Solar PV installation process (step by step)
A simple process, communicated clearly. We keep you informed from the first call to the final handover. If you want to move quickly, we can often complete survey and proposal within days, followed by installation scheduling.
1
Consultation
We learn what you want to achieve: bill reduction, more energy independence, EV charging readiness, or planning for a battery. We also confirm the property location for Dublin and Leinster scheduling.
2
Survey
We inspect the roof, shading, access, and electrical set-up. We will discuss your meter, typical daily use, and when you are at home. This is where the design becomes accurate.
3
Quote in 48 hours
You receive a clear, itemised quote covering panels, inverter, mounting, cabling, protections, and monitoring. We outline estimated generation and how it translates into savings.
4
Installation
We install the array and inverter equipment, test connections, and keep the site tidy. We coordinate access and ensure safe isolation points are in place. Most domestic installs are completed efficiently once scheduled.
5
Commissioning
We commission the system and set up monitoring. You will see how to view generation and how to optimise usage. We confirm any SEAI documentation steps required for eligible homes.
6
Aftercare
If you have a question, you can reach our Dublin 3 team. We explain what to watch for in the app and how seasonal changes affect output, so performance makes sense all year.

Solar PV installation FAQ
Straightforward answers to common questions from Dublin homeowners and Leinster customers. If your roof is in Dublin 3, Clontarf, or nearby, we can often arrange a survey quickly.
How long does a domestic solar PV installation take?
Most domestic installations are completed efficiently once scheduled, but exact timing depends on roof complexity, access, and electrical work required. We confirm the plan after the survey so expectations are clear.
Do I need a south-facing roof for solar panels in Dublin?
A south or south-west roof is excellent, but not essential. East-west roofs can perform very well by spreading generation across the day. We assess shading and usable roof space during the site survey.
Will SolarField help with the SEAI Solar Electricity Grant?
Yes. We are an SEAI-registered installer and we provide the documentation required for eligible projects. Our grant page explains the current maximum of €1,800 and the steps involved.
Can I add battery storage later?
Often, yes. Many customers install solar PV first and add a battery when they have a year of usage and generation data. We can design with future battery integration in mind.
How do you estimate savings for a solar PV system?
We combine expected annual generation with your usage patterns to estimate self-consumption and export. Savings are mainly driven by how much solar you use in the home, so we discuss practical ways to shift loads to daytime.
Do you cover areas outside Dublin?
Yes. We prioritise Dublin and the Greater Dublin Area, and we regularly install in Wicklow, Meath, Kildare, and Louth. Nationwide projects are considered when they fit our schedule and service model.
