Solar PV
Systems Grants

Are you looking to make a sustainable switch to solar energy? Whether you’re a homeowner, business owner, or farmer in the Republic of Ireland, there are numerous government grants available to support your investment in solar PV systems. The helpful ÉireVolt team will handle all necessary paperwork for grant applications, ensuring a smooth and efficient process toward achieving energy efficiency and sustainability for everyone.

Homeowners can make their homes more energy-efficient and sustainable with SEAI Home Energy Grants. These grants support domestic energy upgrades, including insulation, solar panels, heat pumps, and other renewable solutions. SEAI Grants provide financial assistance, enhancing home comfort and efficiency while reducing the nation’s carbon footprint. It’s an investment that benefits both the environment and your pocket!

Accelerated Capital
Allowance Scheme

The ACA scheme allows a sole trader, farmer or company that pays corporation tax or income tax on trading or professional income in Ireland to deduct the full cost of the equipment from their profits in the year of purchase. As a result, the business’s taxable profits are reduced by the value of qualifying capital expenditure. By contrast, the Wear and Tear Allowance provides for the same tax reduction, but this is spread evenly over an eight-year period.
Farmers can potentially recover their investment in solar PV in under five years and benefit from a reliable source of renewable energy for more than three decades. This positions solar PV as one of the best investments a farmer can pursue to safeguard the future of their farm.

Eligible farmers can avail themselves of a 60% TAMS grant support for solar PV installations up to 62kWp and battery storage up to 31kWp with an investment ceiling of €90,000. SEAI grant up to €162,600 is also available to farmers.

Eirevolt Energy is registered with both the Department of Agriculture and the SEAI, and handle all the grant and ESB paperwork on your behalf.
