What it is
Toward rooftop solar panels for your home.
Who can get it
- You own the home, including private landlords, owner management companies and Approved Housing Bodies
- The home was built and occupied before 2021 and has an electricity connection (an MPRN)
- The home has not had a solar PV grant before at this MPRN
- You get grant approval before the work starts and use an SEAI registered contractor
Good to know
- The grant is paid per kWp of panels: €700 for each of the first 2kWp, then €200 for each extra kWp, up to the €1,800 maximum (held at €1,800 for 2026).
- Once you have grant approval you have 8 months to finish the work and send in the documents.
- A post-works BER is needed after the panels go in.
- You can only use a One Stop Shop for solar if you are doing several upgrades at once. Otherwise apply yourself with a registered contractor.
- Questions: SEAI on 01 808 2004 or solarpv@seai.ie.
