"Had solar panels installed by Cork Solar & Electrical last spring. The whole process was seamless — David handled the SEAI grant application for us which took all the hassle out of it. The installation was done in a day and the system has been working perfectly ever since. Already seeing a real difference on our electricity bills. Highly recommend."

SEAI Support
SEAI Solar Grants Available
The Irish government provides significant grant support for homeowners installing solar panels and battery storage. Here is what is currently available.
Up to €1,800
Solar PV Grant
The SEAI Solar PV Grant provides up to €1,800 towards the cost of installing solar panels on your home. Available to homeowners whose home was built and occupied before 2021. Must be installed by an SEAI approved contractor.
Up to €1,000
Battery Storage Grant
The SEAI Battery Storage Grant provides up to €1,000 towards a home battery system. A battery stores excess solar generation for use in the evening and at night, significantly increasing the proportion of your own electricity you use.

The Case for Solar
Why Install Solar Panels?
Solar panel installations deliver real, measurable benefits for Irish homeowners — here is what you can expect from a properly installed system.
Reduce Energy Bills
A typical Irish home with a 3–4kWp solar system can generate 2,500–3,500kWh of electricity per year, directly offsetting grid consumption and significantly reducing your annual electricity bill.
Earn Export Payments
Through the Microgeneration Support Scheme (MSS), you can sell excess solar electricity back to the grid at a guaranteed rate. Most Irish energy suppliers now offer export tariffs to solar homeowners.
Increase Property Value
Homes with solar panel installations and higher BER ratings are increasingly sought after by buyers and command higher sale prices. A solar installation is an asset that stays with the property.
Reduce Carbon Footprint
Solar PV generates clean, renewable electricity with zero emissions in operation. A typical Irish home solar installation avoids over a tonne of CO² emissions per year — a meaningful contribution to Ireland's climate goals.
