Does my solar PV systems kWp affect my eligibility for a grant in Ireland?

A GrantWise Team Answered by

Your system’s kWp (kilowatt-peak) describes its maximum generation capacity and can affect the grant calculation, but it is not the only eligibility factor. SEAI’s Solar PV Grant generally depends on requirements such as the home’s age, ownership or occupancy details, and using an SEAI-registered contractor, with the work meeting the scheme rules. Grant rates and maximums can change, so do not assume a particular payment based on kWp alone. Check the current conditions on the official SEAI website and ask a registered solar PV contractor to assess your property before starting work.
