Something for Everyone

Available Solar PV Grants and Incentives

Switching to solar energy has never been easier or more cost-effective. Through the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) and other national schemes, homeowners, farmers, schools, and businesses can now access generous solar PV grants that significantly reduce upfront installation costs and accelerate return on investment.

Fitzgerald Energy Solutions makes the entire process seamless – from eligibility checks to full grant application support.

SEAI Domestic Solar PV Grant

Homeowners can claim up to €1,800 toward the installation of a solar PV system.

  • Available for homeowners, including landlords.
  • Eligible for homes built and occupied on or before 31st December 2020.
  • Systems must be installed by an SEAI-approved solar PV installer.
  • Post-installation BER assessment required.

Combined with 0% VAT on solar panel installations, the savings make solar power one of the best ways to reduce energy bills and improve your home’s BER rating.

SEAI Battery Energy Storage System Grant

The SEAI Battery Energy Storage System Grant offers a €600 grant towards an eligible home battery installation, helping households store electricity for use when they need it.

The scheme is open to qualifying homeowners, private landlords, Owner Management Companies (OMCs) and Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs).

You can apply for the battery grant separately, even if you already have solar PV installed, subject to eligibility. Battery storage can help you make better use of surplus solar electricity.

Important: You must receive your SEAI Grant Offer before starting installation work. Where solar PV is present, a post-works BER assessment by a registered SEAI BER Assessor is required before the grant can be claimed.

Grant approval and payment are subject to SEAI eligibility criteria and scheme conditions.

Enhanced SEAI Solar Grant

Eligible homeowners in Ireland may now qualify for up to €9,000 in enhanced SEAI grant funding towards a solar PV system and battery storage. This enhanced support is designed to help households receiving certain Department of Social Protection payments reduce their electricity bills and enjoy the benefits of renewable energy.

  • Up to €8,400 towards a solar PV system of up to 4kWp.
  • An additional €600 towards a qualifying battery storage system of 5kWh or larger.
  • Up to €9,000 in total grant support, subject to eligibility and SEAI approval.

Eligibility depends on the full scheme criteria and your individual circumstances.

For commercial and public sector buildings, this scheme supports small-scale renewable generation.

  • Grants available up to €162,600, depending on system size.
  • Ideal for retailers, manufacturers, offices, warehouses, and hospitality businesses.
  • Allows companies to reduce operational energy costs and improve sustainability credentials.

Solar for Schools Programme

Introduced to support energy efficiency in Ireland’s education sector, this scheme funds solar installations in primary and post-primary schools.

  • Promotes clean energy education and operational savings.
  • Helps schools align with Ireland’s Climate Action Plan.
