SEAI's solar electricity grant will be most useful if you plan to install a PV system with us.
Solar Photovoltaic panels (PVs) are a great way to generate renewable, clean energy in your home. They use daylight as a source of free, natural energy.
Irish consumers can now switch to solar power with several incentives from the Irish government.
There are grants available through the SEAI to help offset the cost (subject to meeting eligibility re-quirements).
Payment options include: 1) Pay the entire amount up front or 2) pay 50% after survey, and the final bal-ance at installation.
With this grant, electricity is affordable.
Install the system.
Sell surplus solar power with the Microgen export plan
SEAI's grant for solar energy is a great benefit if you are planning to install solar panels.
The building was constructed before 2011.
Our PV solar panels cost around EUR6,500.
SEAI grants are currently available up to EUR2,400. Recently, the government decided to eliminate VAT from solar panels. It takes on average less than 5 year to pay back your investment in PV panels.
The date that your electricity meter is installed is what counts. This is not the same as other grant measures, where the house must have been built before 2011.
The grant is intended to assist you in paying for the installation.
SEAI will receive all documentation electronically your installation.
Solar PV systems with 10 panels and a diverter for hot water are the most common. The average cost of the system is EUR7.975 (before grant). The site survey will determine the exact quote. This 10 panel sys-tem (4.1kWp) would cost EUR5,575. Solar Share has agreed to keep the same pricing for all installations that have paid deposits by May 1, 2023. Once installed, you can save up to EUR 1,190 per year (based on self-consumption of solar electricity of 2,280kWh plus exporting 1,220kWh into grid). At the current elec-tricity rate of 41c/kWh, your investment will be repaid in about five years.
A microgenerator can meet all or part of your energy needs. Government Microgeneration Support Scheme enables those with a registered microgeneration device to sell surplus electricity back into Ire-land’s electrical grid. This scheme allows householders to reduce their carbon foot print while saving money.

The Sonnen Battery does not require an Internet connection
between �6,000 and �18,000 Professional installers will assess your property to look at how many solar panels you will need and if your current roof structure can accommodate the solar system. The average cost of solar panel installation in Ireland is between �6,000 and �18,000.
The Government Microgeneration Support Scheme is now available so that those with a registered microgeneration device can sell any excess electricity back to Ireland's electricity grid. This will help households reduce their carbon footprint and save money.
Introduction. The Solar Electricity Grant provides a once-off grant towards the purchase and installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels for your home. It is administered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI). 24 Jul 2023
