The SEAI Grant Solar Home Scheme is a great way to help save the environment. It’s also a good way to make your home greener and more energy efficient, which will ultimately save you money on your electricity bill.
The SEAI Solar Home Scheme
The SEAI Solar Home Scheme is a grant that helps you to install solar panels on your home. It covers up to 70% of the cost of the panels, as well as installation costs. The grant is paid directly to you, so there are no repayments or interest charges involved.
- Up to 70% off: The SEAI Solar Home Scheme will cover up to 70% of your solar panel system’s cost (including installation). This means that if you spend €10,000 on installing a 5kWp system with 10x 250Wp panels, they’ll pay back €7000 towards it!
- Simple application process: Once approved under this scheme (which only takes five minutes), we can start work immediately – no waiting around for paperwork like with other grants schemes! You’ll also receive an instant rebate cheque from us once installation is complete – so there’s no need for any additional paperwork after completion either!
Why should I choose the Solar Home Scheme?
The Solar Home Scheme is a government-backed initiative that provides homeowners with up to €10,000 in funding to install solar panels on their homes. The money comes from SEAI through the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment (DCCAE).
The Solar Home Scheme is designed for residential use only; it does not cover businesses or multi-unit dwellings such as apartment blocks or student accommodation. You can only apply if you own your property outright and have lived there for at least three months before submitting your application.
How do I know if I’m eligible for Solar Home Funding?
The first step to applying for SEAI funding is to ensure you meet the eligibility requirements. You must be a homeowner or tenant, and you must own your home. You also need to have an electricity bill in your name, which will prove that you live in Ireland (this can be from another person if they are on the same property).
Your application will not be accepted if:
- The applicant is not an individual (for example, companies cannot apply)
- The applicant does not have their own SEAI account
If these conditions are met then it’s time to get started!
How much will my solar panel cost with the SEAI Solar Home Scheme?
If you choose to go down the SEAI Solar Home Scheme route, the SEAI will pay for half of your solar panel installation. The grant is paid directly to the installer and it’s tax-free, so it reduces your overall cost significantly.
The exact amount depends on which kind of solar panels you have installed (roof-mounted versus ground-mounted), but generally speaking you can expect your total bill for an average sized house at around £10k-15k depending on what kind of system you go with and whether or not any additional work needs doing such as rewiring or adding additional panels etcetera.
Do I need to pay any money upfront for my solar panels?
No, you don’t need to pay anything upfront for your solar panels. You will be able to get a grant from the SEAI and/or a loan from them as well.
What’s the process for applying for a grant from the SEAI Solar Home Scheme?
If you’re interested in applying for a grant from the SEAI Solar Home Scheme, there are several steps you’ll need to take. The first step is to visit their website and fill out an application form. You can also do this over the phone by calling them , but if you choose this option, be sure that someone else is available who has experience installing solar panels (this could be your installer) so they can help guide through each step of filling out the form correctly.
The next thing they’ll ask for is proof of eligibility–for example: if your house is older than 30 years old; if it’s been renovated recently; if it has any special features like insulated walls or double glazing windows etc… They’ll also want verification from a registered electrician stating whether or not these upgrades have been made as well as certification that all wiring work was done properly according to safety regulations set out by ESB Networks Ireland Limited (formerly ESB Electricity Supply Board).
