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.
Add additional batteries if your needs change.
We have calculated the savings based on estimated installation costs, solar generation from a south-facing roof and a certain level of self-consumption and export. Savings are based on Bord Gáis Energy’s standard unit rate for Urban 24-hour electricity at 48.19c/kWh (incl. VAT) and a microgeneration export rate of 18.5c/kWh from your electricity supplier.
Industries to reduce energy costs and greenhouse gases emissions.
The payment is in the form a credit to your electric bill, reflecting your microgeneration output in that time period.
Home heating. You could save money on your energy bills.
SEAI grants help homeowners, businesses, communities and large industries to reduce their energy costs as well as greenhouse gas emissions.
The grant is intended to assist you in paying for the installation.
We will send electronic copies to SEAI.
At Solar Share we’re imagining a better way by helping our customers make better energy choices to protect our planet and those we care about. Learn more about sustainable living through our compre-hensive sustainability guides.
Discover how to export excess solar energy into the national grid with our Microgen Export plan.
Please allow up to six weeks for the payment. Additional time may be required if a thorough inspection is needed.
Above is based upon estimated installation costs, annual solar production and self-consumption from a roof facing south in Dublin City. Savings are based on the average electricity price of 41c/kWh, and the microgeneration rate which is 21c/kWh. All prices have been calculated at 0% from 1st May, 2023.
When your system is connected to the national grid and you generate more electricity than you require, the extra energy is sent back to the grid. If you’re signed up to our Microgen Export plan you’ll be paid for this in the form of credit on your bill.
It would cost EUR150.
You should seek advice on the specifics of your situation.
We are working with schools and communities in Ireland to help change the way they think about ener-gy.
area. This can be determined during the site inspection. Installation normally takes place
Solar PV systems with 10 panels and a diverter for hot water are the most common. The average cost of the system is EUR7.975 (before grant). The site survey will determine the exact quote. This 10 panel sys-tem (4.1kWp) would cost EUR5,575. Solar Share has agreed to keep the same pricing for all installations that have paid deposits by May 1, 2023. Once installed, you can save up to EUR 1,190 per year (based on self-consumption of solar electricity of 2,280kWh plus exporting 1,220kWh into grid). At the current elec-tricity rate of 41c/kWh, your investment will be repaid in about five years.
The lower maintenance cost of solar panels means lower system costs, and more savings for you in the long run.
SEAI's solar electricity grant will be most useful if you plan to install a PV system with us.
around �10,000 - �12,000 The average cost of a 5kW photovoltaic system in Ireland is around �10,000 - �12,000. This includes the cost of the solar panels, equipment, and installation. However, it's important to note that this is just a rough estimate, and the final price will depend on the specific factors mentioned above. 29 Jan 2023
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
Solar energy systems can generate electricity in any climate. One of the disadvantages of solar energy is that it's subject to temporary weather disruption. Cloudy days reduce the amount of electricity you produce.
