What is the date your electricity meter was installed?
SEAI can provide grants to help with the costs (subjected to meeting the eligibility requirements).
As a result, costs are falling and there are more varied options available to Irish solar customers.
This grant can help you with the costs of installing solar PV panels in your home to generate renewable electricity.All homeowners, including private landlords, whose homes were built and occupied before 2021 can apply.This is defined as the date your electricity meter was installed and is different to other grant measures where the home must be built before 2011.
Solar PV (photovoltaic panels), most commonly installed on the roof, convert sunlight to electricity with-out producing any carbon emissions. The electricity can be used for heating water, to power your house or stored in batteries. The Microgeneration Support Scheme allows you to receive 21c/kWh credits for any excess electricity exported.
sustainably.
SEAI grants help homeowners, businesses, communities and large industries to reduce their energy costs as well as greenhouse gas emissions.
Learn how to export excess solar power to the grid via our Microgen Export Plan.
SEAI's solar electricity grant will be most useful if you plan to install a PV system with us.
The Sonnen battery does require an internet connection for system monitoring. It is essential to have broadband to be able to identify and fix faults remotely online. Regular, free software updates are also required to keep the system up to date. Internet access is included in the warranty.
The battery storage system is installed together with your Solar PV purchase or can be added to an exist-ing Solar PV system. Nice to have but not mandatory, our team can advise you on your options.
The battery will be installed in either the garage or utility area. This can be decided at the time of site inspection. Installation usually takes less than one day.
If you are considering installing a solar PV with us, the SEAI grant for solar electricity is the most im-portant.
This grant will make electricity more affordable.
For solar panels to be certified for installation on an Irish home, they’re subjected to rigorous reliability tests which include; dump heat tests, thermal cycling, and humidity freeze, among others.
The Irish Government sees solar energy as an important long-term way of expanding the mix of sustain-able energy in Ireland. They have therefore put in place a number incentives to assist Irish consumers in switching to solar.
SEAI’s solar electricity grant is most helpful if your plan includes

The cost includes paying for solar panels, an inverter, batteries, system wiring, and the installation fee. However, as with all new technologies, prices will continue to reduce over time. There are also govern-ment grants available to make the initial costs more manageable.
SEAI provides grants that can help cover the costs of the project (subjective to meeting the requirements for eligibility).
The grant will cover the cost of solar panel installation at
�2,400 The amount you get depends on the system size you have installed, measured by your solar panel's peak power output (in kW / kWp). �2,400 is the maximum grant. Larger installations still get this amount. Other things you get installed (such as batteries and immersion diverters) do not effect the amount of the grant.
around �10,000 - �12,000 The average cost of a 5kW photovoltaic system in Ireland is around �10,000 - �12,000. This includes the cost of the solar panels, equipment, and installation. However, it's important to note that this is just a rough estimate, and the final price will depend on the specific factors mentioned above. 29 Jan 2023
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels are generally installed on a roof and use the energy from the sun to power any electrical appliance in your home, including electric radiators. 17 Jan 2023
