SCHOOLS SOLAR PV SEAI GRANT

30th May 2024 - Target date for completion of phase 1 PV installations

The Minister for Education Norma Foley TD and the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications Eamon Ryan TD has announced the first phase of the Schools Photovoltaic Programme which includes over 1,600 schools.
 

The scheme will fund up to 6 kilowatts of roof-mounted solar PV for all eligible schools. This includes connection to the grid and a monitoring and display screen.
 

The Schools Photovoltaic Programme is a devolved programme based on programme guidance prepared by the Department of Education.
 

Invited school authorities will be provided with funding approval from the Department of Education to enter a contract following a competitive tender process for the provision of a solar PV system. This system will be designed, installed and commissioned by a contractor, listed on the SEAI Non-Domestic Micro-Generator (NDMG) company list. 
 

Invited schools must register for the programme and receive confirmation of eligibility before seeking quotations for the works. Tendering contractors will provide quotes directly to the schools who in turn will submit these to the Department of Education for review and provision of full funding for approved costs.
