Solar PV grant

PV image from SEAI siteAs of the 31st July 2018, there has been grant funding in place for homeowners who install a solar PhotoVoltaics (PV) system in their home.

This scheme supports the installation of solar PV panels for the generation and self-consumption of renewable electricity. The scheme is grant aided and there are additional grants available to those who install battery storage to capture the electricity they generate for use at a later date (available for larger systems only).

The 2018/2019 pilot scheme ran until Dec 2019. In Jan 2020, the grant switched to a more traditional grant scheme model, much like the existing insulation grants, etc. The scheme remains open for business but please note that the grant amounts have changed from the original pilot scheme.

 

Grant amounts available*:

Support for systems up to 2kWp: €900 per kWp

Additional support for systems up to 4kWp: €300 per kWp**

Support for a battery installation: €600


* Support is available to all owners of dwellings built and occupied before 2011 and where SEAI have not previously provided support for solar PV system at that address.

* The homes energy performance following installation of solar panels must be BER C or better.

** This additional support is only available if you also install a battery with the system
