Residential Solar PV Grant:
There are multiple Solar PV Grants available from the Irish Government.
Homeowners who install residential solar PV at their property through a registered safe electric and SEAI contractor, like Veep Energy, can receive a maximum of 2100 euros in grants from SEAI for their solar PV installation.
This Breakdown is as follows;
€800 for each kWP up to 2kWP and €250 for each additional kWP of Solar Panels, and the grant aid for residential customers up to 4kWP.
For Example;
- A 2.0kW Solar PV Panel consisting of 5 x 400WP Panels receives €1600 of the SEAI grant.
- A 3.0kW Solar PV Panel system consists 7 x 430WP Solar PV Panels could receive up to € 1850
- A 4.0kW Solar PV System, which consists of 10 x 400WP Solar PV Panels, could receive up to € 2100 from SEAI.
The Solar PV (SPV) Application must be made on the SEAI website before work starts, and a registered Solar PV contractor such as VEEP Energy needs to be selected for a successful application.

Upon your solar PV completion, VEEP Energy will typically compile the solar PV handover pack within two weeks and upload all necessary documentation and certification on your behalf.
Also, our in-house compliance team will email you the same for your records.
A Residential Solar PV Grant on VEEP Energy installations is typically paid out within 8-12 weeks after completion.
Another excellent benefit for Homeowners is that Residential Solar PV and battery Customers (since 1 May 2023) are also exempt from VAT if a complete solar PV System with a Solar Battery is installed simultaneously.
This means you can receive your complete turn key Solar PV from VEEP Energy, and while you receive 2100 euros of SEAI Home Solar PV Grant, at the same time, you could save an additional 2000 euros on the VAT as well.
