Solar installation size (kWp) Battery usable capacity (kWh; 0 if none) Was your home built and occupied before 2025? Does the property have an MPRN? Have you previously received an SEAI solar PV grant at this MPRN? Have you previously received an SEAI battery grant at this MPRN?

ESTIMATED STANDARD GRANT

€2,400

This is an estimate only. Grant approval must be in place before works start.

Solar PV€1,800

Battery€600

Checks only the basic property/MPRN/prior-grant conditions and battery size. It does not determine eligibility under enhanced welfare-payment or Dublin rental pilot programmes, check registered contractors, assess roof/electrical suitability or confirm grant availability. Where uncertainty exists, the tool excludes the relevant grant. Do not start work until you have the SEAI grant offer. Grant rates can change.

How the standard PV grant works

PV capacity	Standard grant
2 kWp	€1,400
3 kWp	€1,600
4 kWp or larger	€1,800

The grant is pro-rated for fractional kWp sizes. Battery support is separate; see the battery value calculator. Some qualifying homeowners receiving specified welfare payments may access enhanced solar funding; see the official SEAI conditions.

Apply through SEAI and wait for the letter of offer before work starts.
Complete installation with the registered company and installer, including ESB Networks paperwork.
