Solar energy for residences and commercial units is gaining significant popularity across Ireland due to rising energy costs and environmental awareness. The number of people and businesses going solar has grown exponentially globally. This green energy source is making the electric grid more dependable while enabling solar homeowners to save money on electricity bills and improve the value of their homes. Apart from it, the access to solar PV grants also makes it cheaper for homeowners and businesses to buy solar panels in Ireland.
The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) offers grants for solar panel installations, including the Solar Electricity PV grant for homeowners and the Non-Domestic Microgen Scheme for businesses. Availing these grants and installing solar panels can be beneficial in many ways, such as
- A warmer and more comfortable home
- Reduced heating bills
- Improved energy efficiency and lower carbon footprint
- Reducing the upfront cost of installing solar panels
Homeowners in Ireland can now make solar energy more affordable with SEAI’s grants for solar panels, offering up to €1,800 for solar panel installations to homeowners in Ireland. These grants aim to encourage the adoption of renewable energy, reducing costs while increasing energy efficiency for residential properties. The domestic solar power grant
1.€900 per kWp for the first 2 kWp
2. Maximum €1,800 per household
No extra grant available beyond 2kWp unless battery storage is also supported
The dwellings must have been constructed and occupied before 2021 to be eligible for grants, as the assistance is targeted toward older houses that need energy improvements. A 0% VAT rate on domestic solar installations was introduced in 2023, making solar energy more affordable for homeowners.
Eco Green Resource help homeowners access SEAI solar grants to reduce installation costs and achieve energy independence with high-efficiency solar PV systems. SEAI solar panel grants can ease the burden with up to €1,800 for homeowners and €162,600 for businesses.
The new Non-Domestic Microgen Grant has been announced by SEAI to provide financial assistance to companies in Ireland to enable them to install solar PV systems. This technology increases supply security, reduces commercial electricity prices, and helps businesses embrace sustainability. Grant value for businesses is based on system size, with a cap of €162,600 for systems up to 1000kWp under SEAI’s Non-Domestic Microgen Scheme. Grants are tiered per kWp installed, not a flat payment.
