A rough number in thirty seconds.
Size it by roof or by panels. Because we're electricians, this calculator also knows the ESB connection rules, so you'll see straight away whether your system stays inside the free NC6 limit or needs a paid NC7 application.
- SEAI grants worked out on the real 2026 rates
- ESB NC6 / NC7 connection path included
- Battery storage modelled on real evening usage
- Inverter suggestions sized to the ESB limits
- Free consultation first, then a fixed quote at the site survey
Nearly all Irish homes are single-phase. Farms, workshops and bigger premises are often three-phase.
Most 2026 panels are 430-470W.
A battery stores daytime spare solar for the evening, usually the difference between using ~35% and ~75% of what you generate.
Within the free NC6 micro-generation limit (25A single-phase). We just notify ESB Networks: no fee, no waiting for approval. Panels can go up to about 10 kWp (≈22 × 450W) on a 5 kW inverter before you'd leave NC6.
Indicative only. Panels, inverter and connection path are confirmed with a fixed quote after your free consultation and site survey. Grants per SEAI 2026 (domestic grant: homes built before 2021).
Solar, batteries, chargers, and proper electrical work
Solar that pays for itself
Start to finish. Site survey, system design, any electrical prep your house needs, the panels and battery, commissioning, and the SEAI grant paperwork.
- Cut electricity bills by up to 70%
- Up to €1,800 SEAI grant secured for you
- Battery storage for night-time use
- Microgeneration export payments
How solar actually works
Panels catch daylight
Even grey Irish daylight generates. No direct sun needed.
The inverter makes it usable
DC from the roof becomes the AC your house runs on.
A battery stores the spare
Daytime spare powers your evening instead of going to waste.
Extra earns you credit
Whatever you don't use exports to the grid, and you get paid for it.
How it works
Free consultation
A no-obligation chat about what you're after: your bills, your roof, and what's realistic. Straight answers before anyone calls out.
Site survey & fixed quote
We come out, check the roof, the fuseboard, and your bills, then give you a detailed proposal with a fixed price. If a grant applies, we file the paperwork.
Install
Our own electricians on site, usually 1-2 days. No subcontractors. We tidy up after ourselves.
Commissioning & handover
We test the system, walk you through the app so you can see what your roof's generating, and hand over the certs and warranties.
Why people ring us back
Bright Star Electric is run by a strong operations and electrical team with over 25 years combined experience in the industry. We pride ourselves on our knowledge and quality of installations. People call us back because we're reliable, supply quality materials and our workmanship is neat and tidy. We build systems that last.
While solar is extremely popular these days, we were electricians first and will continue to be electricians long after your install. This is our business, and we are proud of it. You can be rest assured that if you need us in the future, we'll be only a short phone call away. For us the install is the start of a long relationship, not the end of one.

The install is the start, not the end.
A lot of solar companies fit the panels, hand over the certs, and move on to the next roof. We see it differently: switching on your system is the beginning of a long arrangement, and we want you confident in it for years, not just on handover day.
That's why support isn't a department here. It's a person, with a name, who knows your installation.
More about our aftercareA person, not a ticket queue
Every customer gets a named support contact: someone who knows your exact system, because they helped put it in. No call centre, no explaining your setup from scratch every time.
Help when something looks odd
App showing strange numbers? Something tripping? Ring your contact and they'll talk you through it, and if it needs eyes on it, they know exactly what's on your roof and in your fuseboard.
Room to grow
Thinking about adding a battery, an EV charger, or more panels down the line? Your contact already knows what your system can take, so the conversation starts halfway finished.
What people say once the scaffolding comes down
"The team at Bright Star were fantastic. They handled everything from the initial survey to the SEAI grant paperwork. The lads who did the install were tidy, polite, and very professional. Highly recommend for anyone in Dublin looking at solar."
Declan Murphy
Swords, Co. Dublin
"Got a 6kW system and battery installed last month. The whole process was seamless. They explained exactly how the app works and we're already seeing a massive drop in our bills. Top class service from an Irish company."
Sarah O'Connor
Douglas, Cork
"We needed our consumer unit upgraded before getting solar, and Bright Star managed the whole project. It's great having one company handle the electrical and the solar side. Very transparent pricing too."
