Our Step-by-Step Guide to Completing your SEAI Solar PV Grant Application

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.

What you need before you begin
