Solar PV panels
Solar PV panels turn daylight into electricity for your home, cutting your electricity bills and lowering your carbon footprint. Any surplus can be sold back to the grid. Solar works well in Ireland, even on cloudy days, because it uses daylight rather than direct sunshine.
SEAI pays up to €1,800 towards solar PV: €700 per kWp for the first 2kWp, then €200 for each extra kWp up to 4kWp. A typical 4kWp system therefore qualifies for the full €1,800.
Heat pumps
A heat pump is the main renewable heating system for Irish homes. It moves heat from the outside air or the ground into your home, producing several units of heat for every unit of electricity it uses. To work well, your home needs good insulation and airtightness, which is why we check those first. Read more on our heating upgrades page.
Getting the order right
Insulation comes first: there is little point generating renewable energy if the heat escapes through your walls and roof. Most homes get the best return by upgrading walls and attic, then adding solar PV or a heat pump. Our guide to SEAI solar PV grants explains the numbers in detail.
