Your Eircode, house type and electricity bill decide whether panels pay for themselves. Eligible homes can get up to €2,400 in SEAI grants for solar panels and a battery.

Key Points:

  • Thousands in Ireland get free electricity all year round. Plus you could earn up to €550/year by selling extra power back to the grid.1
  • New next-gen solar panels work even in gloomy weather and are 30% cheaper.2
  • SEAI grants of up to €1,800 for solar panels, plus €600 more if you add a battery (up to €2,400 in total)

Many people don’t realise that they could be saving money on their energy bills with solar panels.

Even in Ireland’s sometimes gloomy weather, savvy homeowners are able to make these savings because photovoltaic solar panels are dependent on daylight and can produce electricity even when it’s cloudy.

The cost of solar panels has tumbled more than 30% in the past few years.2  With generous government grants available, and 0% VAT, there’s never been a better time to go solar.
