Ireland’s panel grant is not the payment for leftover noon.
SEAI writes a cheque for the roof. Power you send to the grid is a supplier conversation called the Clean Export Guarantee. They are not the same line on an invoice.
A hardware rebate is not the milk you pour back into the tank. Ireland’s workplace solar grant pays toward the panels. Leftover noon, if it leaves the site, is a different counter.
SEAI’s Non-Domestic Microgen Scheme is a capital grant. Wait for the letter of offer. The scheme is for sites that use power, not for a field of panels that only sell to the grid. The Clean Export Guarantee is the public name for a supplier paying you for export. The rate is the supplier’s rate. We will not print one here.
Good: a buyer can keep the two documents in two piles.
Bad: a grant table does not lock what a supplier pays for leftover noon.
Ugly: people will add a grant, an export rate, and a battery story into one payback slide. That slide is a guess about when your cold store runs. We will not write that number.
Read the SEAI page for the roof. Read your supplier for export. Read when the building uses power for the battery.
