Let's start with a disclaimer: only a Qualified ASEI Energy Specialist can determine with certainty how much you can save with solar panels during your free consultation.

But as a point of comparison, let's examine the typical circumstance of an Irish homeowner.

How to calculate solar power savings

In terms of savings on solar panels, you can estimate how much your savings will be by understanding how much in energy costs you currently are paying. In Ireland, the average electricity rate is 45 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) (as of April 2023). (1) According to the CRU, the average yearly electricity consumption for homeowners is 4,200 kilowatt hours (kWh), or an average of about 350 kWh per month. If you do the maths, that adds up to around €1890 in electricity bills each year. Which means if you have a solar system installed that covers the amount of electricity your home consumes and added a solar battery for energy storage, you could avoid paying for energy for the entire life of your solar energy system. A typical ASEI pv system can produce 1,500 to 7,000 kWhrs per annum. Up to is 50% savings is based on an average usage of 2,100kWh. Up to 70 - 80% saving may be made depending on customers usage and system size.
