What Is Solar PV?

Solar PV stands for Solar Photovoltaics-a technology that converts sunlight into electricity. These systems use silicon wafer cells encased in glass that generate direct current (DC) electricity when light passes through them, which is then converted into usable alternating current (AC) by an inverter. Solar PV is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sources across both the UK and Ireland, and is central to each government's clean energy strategy.

Long-Term Performance Guarantee

All panels sold by Apollo Solar come with a minimum 30 year performance warranty. This means that after 30 years, your panels are guaranteed to produce at least 87.4% of their original output when new!

Do Solar Panels Work in Ireland?

Yes-solar panels work exceptionally well across the island of Ireland, including both Northern Ireland and the Republic. Modern panels are highly efficient and generate electricity even on cloudy days. Ireland receives enough solar radiation to make solar PV a smart investment for homeowners and businesses.

What's the Payback on a Solar System?

The payback period depends on factors like your household's energy usage, shading from nearby trees or buildings, and roof orientation and tilt. At Apollo Solar, we design every system to match your home and lifestyle. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our goal is to deliver the most efficient system possible, using the full range of products available.

  • We aim for a payback period of 6 years or less
  • Average tax-free ROI of 17–20% based on current electricity prices

Battery Storage & Smart Tariffs

Battery storage allows you to store solar energy for use during peak hours. It can greatly decrease the amount of electricity you need to buy!

Solar batteries can increase self-consumption and reduce grid reliance by storing daytime solar energy for use at night or during peak times. The Energy Saving Trust estimates that adding battery storage can greatly increase self-consumption-Solar Together estimates this could be as high as 40%, although factors such as lifestyle and consumption patterns will influence this.

With tariffs from energy providers that offer electricity at rates as low as 14p per unit at night, you can charge your battery at night and allow it to discharge during the day when electricity costs as much as 33p per unit. This can significantly lower your electric running costs.

Key benefits

  • 30-year performance warranty (87.4% output after 30 years)
  • 6 years or less payback target
  • 17–20% tax-free ROI on average
  • Battery storage can increase self-consumption by up to 40%
  • Smart tariff optimisation

Important information

Savings and performance figures are estimates based on typical conditions in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Actual results may vary depending on system design, usage, and energy tariffs. All figures based on Open Solar CRM software in compliance with MCS-approved data. Prices correct as of 27-08-25.

Frequently asked questions

Do you install domestic solar panels across all of Northern Ireland?
Yes. Apollo Solar works with homeowners wherever you are in NI-from Belfast and Lisburn to Derry/Londonderry, Newry, Omagh and beyond. Your free solar assessment confirms roof space, cabling routes and connection options.
Do solar panels work on cloudy days?
Yes. Solar PV generates electricity in daylight, including diffuse light on cloudy days. Yield varies by orientation, shading and location; we model this realistically for Northern Ireland rooftops.
