SEAI GRANT

SEAI Grant

The Sustainable Energy Authority Ireland (SEAI) offers grants to Irish households (privately owned residential houses and apartments only) to help them invest in sustainable energy sources such as solar power. The grant comes as a one time payment to the homeowners elected bank account after all work has been completed.

We have summarised the details of the grant, including eligibility, below. You can also visit the SEAI website and review their Solar PV Scheme Guide, for up to date information.
