🚐 Electrify your fleet — charge from your commercial solar
Commercial solar and an electric fleet are the most powerful combination for Irish businesses. Your roof generates free electricity during working hours — your vans charge overnight or during the day from that solar output. SEAI offers €7,600 per vehicle for commercial vans on top of your solar grant. See the full EV Vehicle Directory — 205+ vehicles including vans, trucks and buses.
⚡ Commercial solar + electric fleet — the business case
A 50kWp commercial solar system generates approximately 45,000 kWh/year — enough free electricity to power a fleet of 10 electric vans for their entire annual mileage. Vehicles charge overnight from battery storage or directly from daytime solar output. SEAI van grants of €7,600 per vehicle stack on top of your solar grant. Accelerated Capital Allowance applies to both the vehicles and the solar installation in year one.
📊 Example: 50kWp solar + 10 × Ford E-Transit Custom vans = near-zero fleet fuel cost. SEAI grants on both solar and vehicles. ACA write-off in year one for all equipment.

⚡ Compatible inverters
The Tiger Neo N-type 580W is compatible with the following inverters — click any to see full specs, pricing and system cost estimates. See the Solar Inverter Directory to compare all 15 inverters available in Ireland.
✅ The Tiger Neo N-type 580W is compatible with all major Irish inverter brands. Your installer will recommend the best pairing based on your roof size, usage and budget — hybrid inverters (Huawei, Fronius, Sungrow, SolarEdge) are recommended for any home that may want battery storage now or in future.
🔧 Complete your solar system
The Tiger Neo N-type 580W is Step 1 of a complete solar installation. Here's what you need next:
🧠 Energy Management Systems — get more from your solar
Solar panels generate electricity — an energy management system makes sure it's used at the right time and never wasted. EMS devices can reduce grid import by 10–25% beyond the panels alone, by coordinating generation, battery charging, hot water heating and EV charging. See the full Smart Energy Directory for all EMS products in Ireland.
💡 Why add an EMS to your solar system? Without an EMS, your solar system exports surplus energy to the grid at low export rates (typically €0.09–0.18/kWh via the Clean Export Guarantee). An EMS diverts that surplus to a hot water cylinder, battery, or EV charger — capturing value at your household electricity rate (€0.33–0.36/kWh) instead of the export rate.
🌡️ Pair with a heat pump — maximise your SEAI grants in Ireland
Solar panels and a heat pump are the most powerful renewable combination available to Irish businesses today. Solar generates free electricity — a heat pump converts that electricity into heat at 3–5× efficiency. Both qualify for substantial SEAI grants. See the full Heat Pump Directory for all models available in Ireland.
💰 Commercial solar + heat pump — combined grant opportunity
Commercial properties installing both solar and a heat pump system may qualify for multiple grant schemes simultaneously. Solar via SEAI Non-Domestic Microgen or TAMS III (agri, up to 60%); heat pump via SEAI Better Energy Communities or commercial heat pump grants. An Accelerated Capital Allowance (ACA) write-off may also apply to both technologies in year one, significantly improving cash flow and project ROI.
Why solar + heat pump for commercial buildings: A commercial heat pump moves 3–5 units of heat for every unit of electricity consumed (COP 3–5). When that electricity is generated by your rooftop solar, the heating cost is near zero during solar generation hours. For offices, hotels and schools with daytime occupancy, solar generation and heating demand align closely — maximising self-consumption and minimising the payback period on both investments.
🔌 Pair with fleet EV chargers — power your vehicles from commercial solar
Commercial solar and fleet EV chargers are the most cost-effective combination for Irish businesses with vehicles. Your solar generates free electricity; your chargers distribute it across your fleet overnight or during the working day.
🔌 Solar + fleet EV chargers: close the loop on energy costs
Commercial solar paired with fleet chargers is the most cost-effective way to run an electric fleet in Ireland. Your roof generates free electricity during working hours; your vehicles charge from that output during the day or from battery storage overnight. Dynamic load balancing means multiple charge points share your available supply — no expensive grid upgrades needed.
The Tiger Neo N-type 580W forms the generation core of a complete commercial energy solution. Combined with battery storage, EV charging infrastructure and smart energy management, it transforms energy costs, reduces carbon reporting obligations and opens new revenue opportunities.

A fully installed 4kWp system using the JinkoSolar Tiger Neo N-type 580W costs approximately €4,620 before grants — covering 7 panels, a compatible hybrid inverter, mounting and installation. After the SEAI Solar PV Home Grant of up to €1,800, the net cost is around €2,820. System cost varies by county, roof type, installer and whether you add battery storage.

For a typical Irish home (3–4 bedrooms, ~4,000–5,000 kWh/year electricity use), a 4kWp system using the JinkoSolar Tiger Neo N-type 580W requires 7 panels (each at 580W). This generates approximately 3,600 kWh per year in Ireland — enough to cover 60–80% of average household consumption. Homes with EVs or heat pumps typically benefit from a 5–6kWp system (9–11 panels).
The JinkoSolar Tiger Neo N-type 580W comes with a 30-year performance warranty and a 12-year product warranty. The performance warranty guarantees that the panel will still output at least 87–88% of its original rated power at year 30. The product warranty covers manufacturing defects. Annual degradation is 0.4% — lower than standard PERC panels due to the N-type cell technology.
Yes — the JinkoSolar Tiger Neo N-type 580W is well suited to Ireland's climate. Its low-light performance is rated Very Good, which matters because Ireland receives a high proportion of diffuse, overcast light rather than direct sunshine. The temperature coefficient of −0.30%/°C means it loses NaN% efficiency per degree above standard test conditions — in line with industry standards. A 4kWp system in Ireland generates approximately 3,600 kWh/year despite our cloud cover.
N-type TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) is a premium cell technology that offers two key advantages over standard PERC panels. First, it has no Light Induced Degradation (LID) — standard PERC panels lose 1–2% output in their first months of operation; N-type panels produce full rated power from day one. Second, the annual degradation rate is lower (0.4%/yr vs 0.5–0.6% for PERC), meaning more cumulative kWh over the 30-year warranty period. For Irish conditions, the difference over 25 years is typically 3–5% more lifetime energy yield.
Commercial installations using the JinkoSolar Tiger Neo N-type 580W may qualify for several SEAI schemes: the Non-Domestic Microgen grant for smaller commercial systems; TAMS III providing up to 60% grant aid for qualifying agricultural buildings; and Accelerated Capital Allowance (ACA) through Revenue allowing the full equipment cost to be written off against tax in year one. For systems over 50kWp, larger incentive structures may apply. Always verify current eligibility and application procedures at seai.ie before proceeding — grant values and thresholds change annually.
A 50kWp commercial system using the JinkoSolar Tiger Neo N-type 580W (580W) requires 87 panels — compared to 117 panels for a 430W residential panel. At commercial scale, every panel saved means one fewer mounting bracket, one fewer roof penetration and less installation labour time. A 50kWp system generates approximately 45,000 kWh/year in Ireland, enough for a medium-sized office or warehouse to cover 60–80% of daytime electricity use.
Light Induced Degradation (LID) is a brief output reduction that occurs in PERC panels during the first months of operation — typically 1–2% of rated output. For commercial projects with financial modelling over 25–30 years, LID creates a discrepancy between projected and actual yield in year one. N-type TOPCon panels (like the JinkoSolar Tiger Neo) have zero LID — output matches rated specifications from day one, making financial models more accurate.
Multiple schemes may apply: SEAI TAMS III (up to 60% for agri buildings), SEAI Non-Domestic Microgen grant for smaller commercial systems, and Accelerated Capital Allowance allowing full equipment cost to be written off against tax in year one. Verify eligibility at seai.ie before proceeding.
