For years, commercial clients have benefited from steadily falling prices in solar and battery systems. Now, as the global supply chain undergoes a shift, we anticipate costs will begin to rise. But there’s good news for businesses in Ireland: the current SEAI grants for commercial solar PV installations remain extremely generous.
What’s changing?
The era of ultra‑cheap Chinese solar modules and batteries is likely coming to an end. Factors like reduced production capacity and the removal of Chinese export rebates mean that costs may rise by roughly 5–10% starting from late 2025.
Why now is the time to act
While these global shifts are on the horizon, the Irish market still offers a significant advantage: SEAI grants for commercial solar PV installations can offset a substantial portion of your investment. These incentives are designed to help businesses reduce energy costs and improve sustainability. By acting now, you can lock in those savings before the market landscape changes.
What this means for your business
-
Secure current grant benefits: The SEAI grants are available now, providing a unique window of opportunity to reduce your upfront costs.
-
Avoid future cost increases: By planning your installation before these global pricing shifts fully take effect, you can benefit from the current lower price environment.
-
Invest in long‑term value: Our team is here to help you navigate these changes, ensuring you receive not only the financial incentives available but also the best possible system design for your needs.
Conclusion
In summary, while the era of ultra‑cheap solar and storage is evolving, Irish commercial clients have a golden opportunity right now thanks to SEAI support. If you’re considering solar for your business, now is the perfect time to take the next step. We’d be delighted to help you lock in these advantages before the landscape changes.
