The SEAI solar grant, in the right order
This is SEAI's process in general terms. Always check SEAI's grant page for the current rules.

- Apply and wait for your Letter of OfferApproval must be in place before works start.
- Complete the works within SEAI's time windowSEAI's terms currently give 8 months from approval. VERIFY at publish
- Post-works BER and paperworkA BER by an SEAI-registered assessor, then the declaration of works and certificates go to SEAI.
- SEAI pays the grant to you
How much is the grant?
SEAI sets the amount by system size. SEAI's page states the maximum domestic solar PV grant is €1,800, and that it will remain at €1,800 in 2026.
Grant rules can change. We re-check SEAI's current terms with you at quote stage and never start work before your approval arrives.
