Our team will work with you to ensure that maximise the benefits and savings of your investment in solar energy, making solar panel installation an affordable way for you to adopt renewable energy and decrease your carbon footprint, saving you €€€s in the process .

Who can apply

The SEAI scheme is applicable to all homes built and occupied before 2021 (defined by when the electricity meter was installed), and is open to all homeowners, including private landlords. Energy Management Ireland can help you estimate the payback and check that your home is ready for renewables.

The application process

  • Get your quote

    Energy Management Ireland can provide a quote for the installation, and once we have agreed a contract we will be able to help you move on to the next step.

  • Apply to SEAI for grant offer

    Apply for your grant and wait for your grant offer – we can’t start works until you have received the grant offer, which is valid for eight months.

  • We apply to ESB Networks

    When we are ready to start work, we will apply to ESB Networks so that the solar PV system can be connected to the electricity network. This application process takes at least 4 weeks / 20 working days.

  • Installation of your solar PV panels

    Once the application to ESB Networks has cleared, we will be able to commence the installation of your solar PV system.

  • Building Energy Rating (BER) assessment

    After the installation is complete, a BER assessor will need to evaluate the energy efficiency and publish the BER before your grant can be processed.

  • We send evidence of works to SEAI

    We will submit the documentation to SEAI electronically and provide you with a copy for your own records.

  • SEAI process the claim

    With the evidence sent to SEAI, and the BER completed, SEAI will be able to process your grant claim. This usually takes between 4 to 6 weeks for payment to be released.
