We estimated how much energy residents of over 300 towns and villages in Dublin can expect to produce from solar panels. Results of this study form the most authoritative
During the first six months of 2025, 88.725 GWh of solar was curtailed in the Irish Single Energy Market (ISEM), according to a report by Montel Energy, which looks at
With the implementation of significant solar power targets, the city is set to enhance its renewable energy generation and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels.
Many factors impact how much electricity Dublin residents can produce from solar, including shade from surrounding buildings, trees and terrain. Homes in mountainous and hilly
Ireland had over 1.18 gigawatts of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity in operation by 2024, including at least 373 megawatts from
Dublin households can generate an estimated 3,413 to 4,042 kilowatt-hours annually from standard 4-kilowatt systems, which is nearly equivalent to the average Irish
In this guide, we break down solar output in Dublin and Cork, what it looks like across the seasons, and how much energy you can realistically expect from your system year-round.

Dublin residents can expect to produce 3,848.25 kWh of electricity p/y from solar, on average. Overall, Dublin households can generate an estimated 3,413.73 kWh to 4,042.62 kWh annually from a 4kWp system. For context, the average Irish household consumes 4,200 kWh per year, according to the Commission for the Regulation of Utilities (CRU).
Ireland had over 1.18 gigawatts of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity in operation by 2024, including at least 373 megawatts from residential homes alone. Dublin has been at the forefront of this expansion, with at least three large-scale solar farms now feeding the national grid.
According to the Irish Solar Energy Association's (ISEA) Scale of Solar 2024 Report, Ireland has observed a 42.6% increase in solar energy production, reaching 1,185 MW. This growth is driven by energy generated from large solar farms, mini projects, industrial initiatives, and residential installations. 2. Irish Government's Targets:
Here are the key takeaways from the blog: Solar Energy Ireland is on a journey toward renewable energy and a sustainable future. Its solar PV systems help generate electricity from sunlight. Solar electricity generated in Ireland has seen remarkable growth, highlighting the expanding contribution of solar photovoltaics to the country’s energy grid.
