How do I apply for a solar export tariff in Ireland after installing solar PV?

A GrantWise Team Answered by

In Ireland, solar export payments are generally made through your electricity supplier under the Clean Export Guarantee, rather than through a separate SEAI grant application. Your registered installer should notify ESB Networks of the microgeneration installation, usually using the relevant NC6 process, and your supplier may then contact you or ask for details such as your MPRN and meter information. Contact your electricity supplier to check its current export tariff, eligibility rules and registration process, as rates and procedures can vary. You can also confirm the technical requirements with ESB Networks or your installer.
