Firstly, congratulations!! Your new investment will save you money and help reduce Ireland's carbon footprint.
In order to make your life easier, we have put together an easy to follow, complete step-by-step guide to help guide you through the process of applying for your SEAI Solar PV Grant.

Your Meter Point Referency Number (MRPN). This is an 11-digit number that can be found on the top right hand side of your electricity bill.
Your PureVolt Solar Quote - this will contain the size of the system you are installing. The SEAI will only pay for the system size that is contained in your application, so it is important to get this right.
