Irish Homeowners Are Accessing Grants Of Up To €2,100 Towards The Cost Of Installing Solar Panels
... and here's how eligible homeowners have done it
By Lennon Solar Last Updated: 3 April 2026
Thousands of homeowners have already received the benefits of installing solar panels.
You've worked hard to put a roof over your families head...
... and pay more than enough on energy bills each year too.
So isn't it about time you had a choice to pay less on your energy bills? Shouldn't that be your right?
Yet, each year, Irish homeowners continue to pay more than their European counterparts for their energy unit price rate.
And with no let up in sight for energy costs to lower anytime soon, you could find:
- Continued price hikes from the major energy suppliers
- A 12-month increase of 130% rise in government PSO levies.
- Added energy usage during Covid lockdowns.
However, homeowners now have more options than ever before to take control of their energy costs.
One of those options is to avail of the government funded solar grants >>>
Right now, the government is offering eligible homeowners cash reimbursement of up to €2,100 towards the cost of solar panels.
People across Ireland are taking advantage of this offer.
But the scheme is set to end soon, so people are taking action before it's gone!

Solar can be a confusing subject and it’s hard to know exactly what information to believe. Many people don’t realise that they could be saving money on their energy bills with solar panels.
Solar can be a confusing subject and it’s hard to know exactly what information to believe.
Many people don’t realise that they can save money on their energy bills with solar panels.
To give you a few examples of what could happen by not installing solar panels:
- Even in Ireland's sometimes gloomy weather, savvy homeowners are able to make these savings because photovoltaic solar panels are dependent on daylight as opposed to direct sunlight so they can produce electricity even if it's cloudy.
- The Government helps out eligible individuals with the cost of installing solar panels through their Solar Grants scheme. This allows you to claim up to €3,000 towards the cost of installing solar panels.
- The best bit is that these grants don't just cover the cost of the solar panels themselves, but also the cost of installation as well!
1. Become self sufficient with year round energy supply.
2. Solar energy has lower carbon emissions and is environmentally friendly.
3. Installation of solar systems is cheaper than ever due to demand.
4. Gives you more control over your electricity.
5. Low maintenance costs.
6. Increases the value of your home.
7. Gives you peace of mind that you're reducing your energy bills.

These are just three potential benefits of installing solar.
With solar energy set to become the 2nd cheapest form of energy within the next few years, there's never been a better time to install solar panels.
With most houses in Ireland suitable for a 2 kiloWatt solar panel installation, this gives you enough to supply over a third of all your electricity needs.
Don't forget, once your installation is paid for, the electricity you produce from your system is completely free.

Top Benefits Of Going Solar
Free sunlight:
Once you’ve paid for the panels you can start reaping the rewards, with free sunlight.
Receive payment for installation costs:
Generous government grants can cover a large part of the up-front cost of solar panels, meaning that there's literally no reason to put off getting them.
Reduce your carbon footprint:
The average household can reduce their carbon footprint by up to 30% by generating their own electricity with solar panels.
So What Are Your Options?
Firstly, obviously, you could do nothing.
Continue to get hit with yearly energy price increases. Leaving you and your family with more and more expensive bills.
However, I expect this is not the option for you. The idea of being hit with increased energy costs each year is too hard to think about...... potentially leaving your family with less money to spend on the nicer things in life.
You could change energy providers. But this is only a temporary solution and the increased levies and rates will follow.
Thankfully, there is one other option. A way to get a fast, affordable solar quote to meet your exact energy requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
I am a deferred/former member of an Occupational Pension Scheme- can I unlock my pension benefits?
In June 2016, The Minister for Finance amended the legislation governing occupational pension schemes and extended the access of more flexible retirement options to members & former members of occupational pension schemes. This means the Approved Retirement Fund, more commonly known as the ARF option has been applied to all individuals with Personal Retirement Bonds/Buy out Bonds.
In simple terms, what does the Approved Retirement Fund (ARF) option mean?
If you have already transferred out of a previous defined benefit pension scheme, or you are currently considering taking a transfer value, you will have increased options on how you can draw down these benefits. You will have both
- the option of taking your benefits based on your years’ service and final salary
- or the new ARF option which allows you to take 25% of the fund as tax free cash and reinvest the balance subject to certain restrictions.
What does the Introduction of this new option mean for former members of defined benefit Schemes?
The introduction of these new flexible options means that former members of occupational pension schemes can
- Access their benefits from age 50 onwards (provided the previous scheme rules allowed or were amended to allow this option)
- Take 25% of the value of the accumulated fund as tax free cash (up to a lifetime limit of €200K) & then transfer the residual amount to an Approved Minimum Retirement Fund & Approved Retirement Fund (see AMRF/ARF).
