If a thorough examination is required, a second inspection might be necessary.
SEAI will receive electronic copies of all documentation related to the installation.
Solar PV systems that already exist can have a battery storage system added. It's not mandatory but it's nice to have. Our team will advise you about your options.
CSP technologies produce electricity by focusing sunlight to produce heat and drive an engine connect-ed to a generator. They’re usually found in countries with year-round sunshine, so are less common in Ireland.Given the constraints of CSP, solar PV panels are more popular in terms of demand, affordability and reliability for Irish homeowners and businesses.

Please allow up to six weeks for the payment. Additional time may be required if a thorough inspection is needed.
What you can do to increase the energy efficiency of your appliances?
The above is based on estimated installation costs, self-consumption and annual solar generation from south facing roof in Dublin City. Savings base on average electricity rate of 41c/kWh and microgeneration rate of 21c/kWh that is exported. All prices calculated at 0% since 1st May 2023.
Solar PV Scheme Applications Guide: Terms and Conditions
We're engaging with schools and communities across Ireland to change the way your community thinks about energy.
All homeowners, including private landlords, whose homes were built and occupied before 2021 can ap-ply. This is defined as the date your electricity meter was installed. The grant value is calculated on the total maximum output of the Solar PV system, measured in kWp. The grant value is €900 per kWp up to 2 kWp and €300 for every additional kWp up to 4kWp. The total maximum grant value is capped at €2400. A post works BER assessment must be carried out before the grant can be processed.

Our Microgen Export plan will help you to grid your system.
SEAI can provide grants to help with the costs (subjected to meeting the eligibility requirements).
Your products and appliances
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.
�2,400 The amount you get depends on the system size you have installed, measured by your solar panel's peak power output (in kW / kWp). �2,400 is the maximum grant. Larger installations still get this amount. Other things you get installed (such as batteries and immersion diverters) do not effect the amount of the grant.
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
