Administered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), this scheme provides grants up to €162,600 The grant amount you receive is based on the standard output of your solar PV system. A solar PV system with an output of a maximum 1000kWp can be grant funded through the scheme.
Solar Thermal Scheme
Solar thermal technology captures energy from the sun and in turn uses it to heat water. It is typically sized to meet 60% of the total hot water load of a building. It can be used to service any system where thermal energy is a requirement. This grant provides up to 30% of the overall costs of a new solar thermal installation. Grants of up to €15,000 are available.
Building Fabric Upgrades
How well your building retains heat directly impacts your fuel costs. The SEAI offer a grant of up to 30% for a range of wall and roof fabric upgrades.Grants of up to €120,000 are available.

Pumps
As an essential element of systems in a building, pumps can significantly impact the running costs of building. Get a grant of up to 30% towards pump upgrades.Grants up to €10,000 are available. The exact grant value is based on your building type, size and the technical selections you make.
Air Handling Unit:
Air handling units supply and extract air from a building. They're used in mechanically ventilated buildings (as opposed to buildings with openable windows). In older buildings, these units don't recover heat. Instead it's exhausted to the atmosphere. New air handling units or retrofit options reclaim this waste heat in the extract, which in turn is used to heat incoming fresh air. The fan technology in these units can also lower electrical running costs.
