By installing our Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels your home can generate clean, green renewable energy from daylight - a free and natural resource.
As a result, costs are falling and there are more varied options available to Irish solar customers.
In this guide, we’ll bring you through some of the core mid to -long-term benefits of embracing solar energy to dramatically reduce your energy bills while helping to reduce carbon emissions and protect our environment.
All homeowners (including private landlords) whose homes were constructed and occupied before the year 2021 are eligible to apply.
The grant will help you to pay for the installation.

energy decisions possible. It helps us to protect the planet and all its inhabitants.
Above is based upon estimated installation costs, annual solar production and self-consumption from a roof facing south in Dublin City. Savings are based on the average electricity price of 41c/kWh, and the microgeneration rate which is 21c/kWh. All prices have been calculated at 0% from 1st May, 2023.
This time will be extended if necessary.
Solar Battery Systems can be added to Solar PV systems to maximize savings and store energy for future use. If you have a Home Electric+ time-of-use Smart Meter plan, batteries can be programmed at a lower night rate.
SEAI Grants are available to businesses, homeowners, and communities.

The SEAI offers grants to offset costs (subject only to eligibility requirements).
Solar energy is seen by the government as a way to broaden Ireland's sustainable energy mix. Therefore, they have put in place several incentives to encourage Irish consumers to switch to solar power.
Charge your battery at night with cheaper electricity
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.
Payment is made in the form of a credit on your electricity bill reflecting your microgeneration export in that period.Known for their reliability, each battery is a fully integrated energy storage solution enabling users to change the way they manage and control their energy.The battery is normally installed in the garage or utility room, location can be agreed at time of site survey. Installation normally takes less than a day to complete.
The solar experts who conduct your property survey will be able to give you a lot of information.
SEAI Solar Electricity Grant is relevant to you if we are installing your solar PV system.
While solar panels do generate energy during cloudy and rainy days, they may not be enough to meet your home's energy requirements. Of course, any power deficit can be comfortably met with battery-stored energy or from the excess energy sent to the energy grid.
25 to 30 years The industry standard for most solar panels' lifespans is 25 to 30 years. Most reputable manufacturers offer production warranties for 25 years or more. The average break even point for solar panel energy savings occurs six to 10 years after installation.
Next, a 2kW solar system can support a one or two-bedroom house. On the other hand, a 3kW to 3.5kW solar system can be enough for a house with three bedrooms. Lastly, a 4kW to 5kW solar system can support a four to five-bedroom house. 18 Apr 2023
