Homeowners

The home grant in detail

The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) provides generous grants to homeowners who install solar PV systems. The grant covers a significant portion of your installation costs, making solar energy more affordable than ever.
In addition to the SEAI grant, residential solar panel installations benefit from 0% VAT, further reducing the overall cost. Combined with energy savings of up to 70%, solar panels pay for themselves within a few years.
As SEAI Registered installers, Green-house Solar Energy handles the entire grant application process on your behalf, so you can sit back and enjoy the savings.
