Thinking about solar in 2026? Discover the current SEAI grant supports available to Irish homeowners and businesses, and how Solar Energy Solutions handles the entire application for you.


Grant schemes and funding levels shift from year to year, and keeping track of what you're actually entitled to can be one of the most confusing parts of going solar. Here's a straightforward look at the support currently available, and how to make sure you're not leaving money on the table.


What Homeowners Should Know

  • Residential Solar PV Grant – SEAI continues to offer grant support towards the cost of a solar PV system for homeowners, reducing the upfront cost of installation.

  • EV Charger Grant – Homeowners with an electric vehicle can access separate grant funding towards the cost of a home charger.

  • Deep Retrofit Support – Homeowners combining solar with a heat pump or wider energy upgrade may qualify for additional retrofit funding on top of individual technology grants.

  • Grants Are Paid on Completion – Funding is typically issued after installation and inspection, so cash flow planning matters.


What Businesses and Farmers Should Know

  • Commercial Solar Grants – SEAI supports solar PV and battery storage investment for eligible commercial and industrial businesses.

  • TAMS Support for Farms – Irish farmers can access grant aid under the Solar Capital Investment Scheme for on-farm solar installations.

  • Eligibility Varies by Scale – Grant rates and criteria differ depending on system size and building type, so it's worth checking your specific eligibility before applying.
