I propose to take Questions Nos. 39 and 40 together.

The Microgeneration Support Scheme (MSS) was approved by Government on 21 December 2021, to support Ireland’s ambitious targets for micro-generation installations, under the Climate Action Plan. The MSS assists both domestic and non-domestic applicants, in the form of grants for Solar PV installations, up to a maximum of €1,800 in 2025 for household installations. These grants are available through the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI).

The SEAI maintains data regarding the financing and functioning of the Domestic Solar PV scheme and has facilitated the provision of the information in response to the Question.

A breakdown of the average cost to install solar PV to date is provided for information. It should be noted that these costs represent the value of Solar PV systems as entered by Solar PV installers during the grant application process and exclude the grant.
