The project must meet the eligibility criteria.
Eligibility requirements
The most important thing is to get a grant for solar energy.
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.

Payment options include: 1) Pay the entire amount up front or 2) pay 50% after survey, and the final bal-ance at installation.
All properties occupied before 2021 are eligible.
Heat pumps are an alternative energy efficient home heating system to the conventional one. They can help you save on your electricity bills.

SEAI grants of up to EUR 2,400 are available right now. Recent government decisions to eliminate VAT on solar panel supply and installation have also lowered costs. In average, it takes your PV panel invest-ment less than five years to pay off.
Solar expert inspecting your property can give you valuable information.
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.
Modern design, using matching black cells, backsheet and frames with a long lifespan make this panel option increasingly popular throughout Ireland.

An average size Solar PV install would include 10 panels and a hot water diverter with average price of €7,975 (before grant) but is dependant on site survey for accurate quotation. The price after grant of €2,400 for this 10 panel (4.1kWp) system would be €5,575. All installs with deposits paid since 1st May 2023, will benefit from 0% VAT and Solar Share are committed to maintaining pricing following this an-nouncement. Once installed, you can save an estimated €1,190 each year (based on 2,280kWh of solar electricity being self consumed and 1,220kWh being exported to grid). At current electricity price of 41c/kWh and microgen rate of 21c/kWh, your investment payback is an estimated 5 years.
SEAI can provide grants to help with the costs (subjected to meeting the eligibility requirements).
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
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
Without a solar battery connected to your solar PV system, any excess energy generated would be fed back into the National Grid. Adding a solar battery to your system is an excellent and efficient way to preserve and use renewable energy, helping you maximise the energy you generate for your home. 6 Apr 2023
