We had our solar panels installed by Local Power last summer and couldn’t be happier. The team handled everything professionally—from design to installation—and the system has been performing brilliantly, even on cloudy days. Our energy bills are way down and we feel great knowing we’re using clean energy.
Excellent service from start to finish! Local Power helped us understand our options and made the whole process simple. The panels look great on the roof, and we received the SEAI grant exactly as they explained. Highly recommend to anyone considering solar for their home. I actually recommended them to a few of my friends.
I was impressed with how efficient and knowledgeable the Local Power team was. They answered all my questions and took care of everything—including paperwork for the grant. Even after a few stormy weeks, the system is working perfectly and we’re seeing real savings on our electricity bill.
Why is local power best for residential usage in Ireland?
Solar panels are an ideal choice for residential energy in Ireland, offering greater energy independence, enhanced reliability, and significant environmental benefits. By generating electricity directly where it’s needed, solar power reduces dependence on imported fossil fuels and the national grid—helping lower both energy bills and carbon emissions. With Ireland’s strong solar potential, homeowners can take full advantage of this clean, renewable resource. Solar energy also contributes to stronger community resilience by keeping investment and job creation local, supporting a more sustainable and secure energy future for Irish households.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can 4 solar panels power a house?
In most cases, 4 solar panels alone won’t fully power an average home. A typical solar panel produces around 400–450 watts, so 4 panels would generate about 1.6–1.8 kW of peak power. This can offset some of your electricity use (such as lighting or appliances), but to fully power a home—including heating, cooking, and EV charging—you’ll generally need a larger system.
How many solar panels to run a full house?
For an average Irish home, a typical solar PV system might range from 10 to 16 panels (about 4 to 6 kW), depending on your household’s size, energy use, and roof space.
For example:
A small home or energy-efficient home might run well with 10–12 panels.
A larger family home or one with higher energy use (EV charging, electric heating) may need 14–16+ panels to meet most or all of its energy needs.
How many solar panels are needed to power a house in Ireland?
In Ireland, an average household typically requires about 4–6 kW of solar capacity to cover most of its electricity needs. With today’s high-efficiency panels (around 400–450 W per panel), this works out to about 10–14 solar panels, depending on your roof size, orientation, and energy habits. We always recommend a custom design to match your specific home and lifestyle for the best results.
