Solar PV grants guide
We design & install — you apply directly
SEAI supports domestic solar PV when it’s specified and commissioned to current standards. We survey your site, model realistic yield and recommend the best placement — pitched roof, flat roof on ballast frames, garage/shed or a compliant ground-mount. You submit the application; we supply the survey data, system design, photos and post-works BER for your claim.
What’s typically funded
- PV modules & mounting — roof or ground-mount frames engineered for wind loads.
- Inverter & protection — AC/DC isolation, earthing, surge protection; ESB Networks NC6 notification.
- Commissioning & BER — testing, sign-off and post-works BER to complete your claim.
Grant values and rules change — we’ll confirm the latest SEAI figures during your survey.

Quick answers
Roof only?
No — SEAI supports compliant roof and ground-mount systems. We’ll confirm which delivers the best yield on survey.
Do you apply for me?
No — you apply directly via SEAI. We supply the survey data, designs, photos and post-works BER for your claim.
Is a battery required?
No. Batteries are optional. Many homes start without one and add storage later if usage justifies it.
Planning needed?
Most rooftop systems are exempt. Ground-mounts are usually exempt within size/setback limits — we’ll advise if any consent is needed.
Post-works BER?
Yes. A post-works BER is required to complete the grant; we arrange it after commissioning.
Export payments?
Surplus electricity is paid under your supplier’s Clean Export Guarantee. We’ll help you get set up.
