The Irish Government sees solar energy as an important long-term way of expanding the mix of sustain-able energy in Ireland. They have therefore put in place a number incentives to assist Irish consumers in switching to solar.
SEAI’s solar electricity grant is most helpful if your plan includes
Grid with our Microgen Export Plan
This grant can help you with the costs of installing solar PV panels in your home to generate renewable electricity.All homeowners, including private landlords, whose homes were built and occupied before 2021 can apply.This is defined as the date your electricity meter was installed and is different to other grant measures where the home must be built before 2011.
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.
sustainably.
The cost includes paying for solar panels, an inverter, batteries, system wiring, and the installation fee. However, as with all new technologies, prices will continue to reduce over time. There are also govern-ment grants available to make the initial costs more manageable.
SEAI provides grants that can help cover the costs of the project (subjective to meeting the requirements for eligibility).
The grant will cover the cost of solar panel installation at
If you are considering installing a solar PV with us, the SEAI grant for solar electricity is the most im-portant.
This grant will make electricity more affordable.
For solar panels to be certified for installation on an Irish home, they’re subjected to rigorous reliability tests which include; dump heat tests, thermal cycling, and humidity freeze, among others.
Installing your solar PV system
Solar PV Scheme Application Guide includes the full list of terms.
Your payment will be processed only after you have submitted your application
The Sonnen battery does require an internet connection for system monitoring. It is essential to have broadband to be able to identify and fix faults remotely online. Regular, free software updates are also required to keep the system up to date. Internet access is included in the warranty.
The battery storage system is installed together with your Solar PV purchase or can be added to an exist-ing Solar PV system. Nice to have but not mandatory, our team can advise you on your options.
The battery will be installed in either the garage or utility area. This can be decided at the time of site inspection. Installation usually takes less than one day.
By installing our Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels your home can generate clean, green renewable energy from daylight - a free and natural resource.
The grant will assist with the costs of installing solar panels on your home.
Solar PV Scheme Application Guide contains the following terms:
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.
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.
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.
