SEAI Solar PV Grant Application Form Guide [Updated for 2023]

Before you start

Confirm whose name will be on the application

To ensure the entire grant process goes smoothly, everything related to the grant should be under one name: the application, bank account details, paperwork, and invoices.

After you have completed the grant application, please let us know whose name this is so we can ensure the paperwork and invoices match the name on the application. Otherwise, your grant payment may be delayed.

Information you'll need:

There are a few bits of information you'll be asked for during the application. We recommend having the following items ready before you begin.

Your Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN). This is an 11-digit number that you'll find on the top right-hand side of your electricity bill.
Your PureVolt Solar Proposal. This contains the size of the system you are installing (in kWp). The SEAI will only pay for the system size specified in your application, so it's crucial to get it right.
The year your house was built and occupied. Usually, this is the date the meter was first installed in the house. Please note, that your house must have been built and occupied before the 1st of January 2021 to qualify for this grant.
Details for the bank account that you'll receive the grant payment. This bank account should be under the same name on the application.

Once you have all of those to hand, you are ready to go!
