SOLAR INSTALLATIONS IN IRELAND AND NORTHERN IRELAND

Ireland's energy costs are rising. Your roof is sitting on a solution. Heat Recovery Direct — trusted across Ireland and Northern Ireland for over 15 years of energy-efficiency expertise — is now bringing expert solar panel installations to homes and businesses across the island of Ireland.

Whether you're in Dublin, Belfast, Galway, Derry, Cork or anywhere in between, our certified installation teams deliver high-performance solar PV systems designed specifically for Irish conditions — and we handle everything, from your free site survey right through to your SEAI grant application.



☀️  Why Switch to Solar Now?

Over 170,000 Irish rooftops have already made the switch to solar energy. Ireland added a record 1 GW of solar capacity in 2025 alone. The myth that Ireland doesn't get enough sun has been well and truly busted — modern solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not just direct sunshine, and cooler Irish temperatures actually improve panel efficiency.


With electricity bills at record highs and the SEAI solar grant currently offering up to €1,800 for homeowners in the Republic, there has never been a better time to invest in solar. The grant is reducing year on year and is due to end in 2029 — act now to maximise your return.

💰  How Much Can You Save?

The savings from solar panels in Ireland are real, proven, and significant. Here is what homeowners across Ireland and Northern Ireland are experiencing:


• Cut your electricity bill by up to 50–70% once your system is installed and running
• Typical payback period of just 5 to 8 years on your initial investment
• Export surplus electricity back to the grid and earn additional income through microgeneration tariffs
• Protect your household from future energy price rises — your solar energy is free once the panels are up
• Add value to your property — solar panels improve your BER rating and make your home more attractive to buyers
• Combine with a battery storage system and use your own solar electricity day and night


A typical 4 kWp system on an Irish home generates enough electricity to cover the majority of an average household's annual energy needs. Our surveyors will calculate your personalised savings estimate during your free consultation.

🏠  SEAI Solar Grant — Up to €1,800 for Republic of Ireland Homeowners

As a registered solar installer working across the island of Ireland, we support homeowners in the Republic through the SEAI Solar Electricity Grant — the government-backed scheme that makes going solar significantly more affordable.


Who qualifies for the SEAI solar grant?
• You own the property (homeowners and private landlords are eligible)
• The property was built and occupied before 31st December 2020
• You have not previously claimed a solar PV grant on this property
• You use an SEAI-registered installer (Heat Recovery Direct is fully registered)


How much is the SEAI solar grant?
• €700 per kWp for the first 2 kWp of peak output
• €200 per kWp for each additional kWp up to 4 kWp
• Maximum grant: €1,800 for systems of 4 kWp and above
• 0% VAT on all solar panel installations in the Republic — saving you up to €1,000 more


We take care of your entire grant application from start to finish. You will not have to chase paperwork, wait on SEAI, or navigate the process alone. We deduct your grant from our invoice and handle the BER assessment coordination so you can simply enjoy the savings.

🔴 Northern Ireland Solar Installations

Northern Ireland homeowners and businesses benefit from the same world-class solar PV technology, installed by the same expert teams — our crews operate seamlessly across the border, drawing on our established network in County Fermanagh and across the six counties.


Whilst the SEAI grant applies to the Republic of Ireland only, Northern Ireland residents can benefit from other incentives and supports, including the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which allows you to sell surplus electricity back to the grid.

Our team will advise you on every available incentive in your area at your free site survey.
• Full coverage across all six counties of Northern Ireland
• Expert advice on Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) eligibility and rates
• Same professional installation standards as our Republic of Ireland operations
• MCS-accredited installation (required to access SEG payments)

⚡  Our Solar Installation Process — Simple, Transparent, End-to-End

We know that switching to solar feels like a big decision. That is why we have designed a process that takes all the complexity away from you — from your first call to the moment your panels start generating free electricity.


Step 1 — Free Site Survey & Consultation. One of our certified surveyors visits your property, assesses your roof, reviews your energy bills, and gives you a detailed, no-obligation quote — including your projected savings and grant eligibility.


Step 2 — System Design & Grant Application. We design your custom solar PV system for maximum output based on your roof orientation, shading, and energy usage. In the Republic, we handle your SEAI grant application before any work begins — approval typically comes within minutes online.


Step 3 — Professional Installation. Our experienced installation teams work efficiently and cleanly. Most residential installations are completed in a single day. We handle all connections, inverter installation, and grid notification with ESB Networks (or NIE Networks in Northern Ireland).


Step 4 — Commissioning, Monitoring & Handover. Every system is commissioned and tested before we leave. We set up your real-time monitoring app so you can track your solar generation and savings from day one. We walk you through everything and remain available for any questions.

Step 5 — Grant Payment & Aftercare. For Republic of Ireland customers, we coordinate the BER post-works assessment and submit the completed documentation to SEAI. Your grant is paid directly to your bank account within approximately 4 to 6 weeks. We are here for the long haul — offering ongoing servicing, monitoring support, and system health checks.
