For your solar panel system to work effectively, the ideal roof is south-facing and unshaded, particularly from other trees or buildings. There needs to be approximately 25 square metres of clear roof space. The system charges in daylight and not just in sunshine, as often thought. Surprisingly, a solar system in Ireland will produce the equivalent of 70% of what it would  generate in the Mediterranean, so we just put up extra panels to reach the level of generation  you need.

We use high quality panels and inverters and only use Tier 1 Rated Panels which are the highest standard in the world

The sun rises every day. That’s why solar power is a completely renewable, reliable and clean energy source. It reduces your reliance on dirty sources of power such as oil, coal and natural gas, which produce harmful emissions affecting our health and environment.

In addition to PV solar panels, our batteries are becoming more affordable, accessible, resilient and efficient. They provide peace of mind and energy security for you when the power goes out or the next storm strikes.

Unlike those from your Utility Electricity Provider, Solarstream customers pay predictable, affordable rates for 25 years. With home solar, you get to control your energy future.

The one key difference you will notice after switching to Solarstream  is in how you pay for your power. You will still continue to receive a monthly bill from your utility supplier . If you are on  the ‘Pay as You Save’ scheme with Solarstream you will have a monthly bill with Solarstream as well. If you are buying the system upfront you will notice your bill dropping and seeing the  savings every month.

How much energy you end up having to buy from your utility supplier  will depend on the size of your solar system and how much electricity you’re actually using.

• Solar panels are made of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to direct current electricity (DC electricity). As long as the sun’s light is  making contact with your roof, your panels are converting solar radiation into DC electricity. Even when it’s cloudy, you can still expect your panels to produce 25% of their normal output
• You need an inverter to get the kind of power you need to turn the lights on. The inverter takes the DC electricity produced by your solar panels and turns it into alternating current electricity (AC electricity). It’s typically installed in the attic, or the utility room
• Solarstream Monitoring App Solarstream. Your Solarstream App monitors your system production and sends the information to you through a wireless signal. And this will give you information at your fingertips as to how the system is performing for you. Since it tracks your energy production 24/7, it will automatically alert us if it detects problems or irregularities

If your app is telling you the wifi connection is not working, follow the instructions in this video. If you have an old datalogger, it may need to be upgraded. Please contact our team to arrange a new data logger.

Solar systems generally operate without the need for much care and maintenance but there are a few things you can do as a solar homeowner to make sure you are getting the most out of your solar system.

Trim back trees

The more sun on your panels, the better. It’s a good idea to keep nearby trees trimmed to allow the sunshine to reach your panels for as much of the day as possible.

Self Cleaning panels

Just a few rainy days a year is enough to keep your panels clean. They are self-cleaning and generally don’t require cleaning in an Irish environment.

No need to worry! Your system should turn itself back on automatically. If not, you might need to restart your system, you can find the instructions to do so here if you have a standard inverter. If you have a hybrid inverter click here.
