Get Agricultural Solar Grants with Home and Agri Energy, Cover 60% of the cost with the TAMS grant for solar panels

TAMS Support

If eligible, the Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme (TAMS) provides a 60% (capped at €90,000) grant on a solar PV investment. PV installers need to be on the SEAI register of installers or the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) approved list. Home and Agri Energy are an SEAI registered Solar Installer.

TAMS support is now available to support up to 11kW solar PV on dairy, beef, tillage and sheep farms. This complements the 40% support already available to the pig and poultry sector through the Pig and Poultry Investment Scheme 40%, which is not limited to 11kW.

Financial Returns

Once you have bought your solar PV panels, the maintenance and operating costs are small. The panels and inverters will require cleaning approximately every 10 years. Panel output should be expected to fall at a rate of 1% per year. The financial return is mainly tied up with the value and amount of energy generated.

If, as in most cases, your solar PV panels operate in parallel with your mains supply, they help to displace the energy you would normally have bought from the grid. For example, if your electricity need at a particular time is 20kW and your PV system was producing 5kW, your net import from the grid would be 15kW. Each unit of electricity you displace from your imported requirement effectively saves you on the imported price of that unit. If you buy your energy at 18 cents (c) per kWh and you displace 10,000kWh you save €1,800.

FAQs

Common Questions About Solar PV Grants

How will I know if I am eligible for a grant?

For domestic SEAI grants you will need to satisfy the following two requirements:

- Home built and occupied before 31 st December 2020
- No previous funding for Solar PV at this MPRN

Grants are available for all homeowners, including private landlords.

If you are unsure on any of these, reach out to us today and we can help you find out if you are eligible for an SEAI grant.

Can you help me with the grant process?

Yes. We are happy to help you with the grant process to ensure that you have the best possible chance of meeting the criteria.

What if my application is denied?

You must get pre-approval from SEAI before works commence. So we would not undertake the job or charge you anything unless you were guaranteed the grant.

How long does the grant process take?

For domestic SEAI grants, pre-approval takes 30 minutes and grant payment can take up to 6-8 weeks after installation. We ensure all grant paperworks is completed and uploaded within the first few days after installation so you can receive your grant payment as quickly as possible.

After coming highly recommended, from start to finish, Home and Agri delivered an exceptional experience with our solar panel installation. From the initial phone call with Aaron to his on-site visit, his expertise and honest advice made our decision to proceed an easy one!

The installation team of six arrived promptly before 8 a.m., and by 2 p.m., they had completed the full setup of 22 solar panels and two 8kWh Sigenergy batteries. Their efficiency, professionalism, and attention to detail were second to none. The system is now running with unbelievable efficiency, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.

On top of that, the batteries come with a 10-year warranty, giving us extra peace of mind. Their aftercare service is also top-notch—they can monitor the system remotely and will contact us if there’s ever a problem, often before we even notice it ourselves.

If you’re considering solar panels, I can’t recommend Home and Agri enough. Their knowledge, service, and execution are truly top-tier. An absolute 5-star experience all round.

From start to finish the install was superb. My install was not a standard install which produced a lot more work. Joe was great to deal with and kept me informed and was always at the end of the phone. On the day of the install the lads did a super job (couldn’t be happier). The tidyness & professionalism of the entire team was superb. The workmanship is second to none and could not be beaten. Not a spec of dust left behind them. Billy, Murphy, Stevie & Cathal are a credit to the company. Great workmanship and really know their stuff. I would highly recommend home & Agri.

When I started looking into getting solar panels I realised that considering all of the different suppliers was a bit of a minefield. I was recommended to go with Home and Agri by a number of colleagues at work and was very impressed with how professional they were from start to finish. It was a pleasure to deal with Denis on pricing the job and considering various installation options. The fitters and electricians arrived at 8 in the morning and got to work straight away. They had everything fitted and tidied away by 3 that afternoon and all of the wiring and panels were neatly secured to my house and garage. Emmet and Cathal deserve a special mention but the whole crew were great. I would highly recommend working with Home and Agri.

They took the time to answer all my questions and ensured everything was done to the highest standard. I’m thrilled with the results and highly recommend Home and Agri to anyone looking to make the switch to solar. Great job, guys!

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Joe explained everything and helped me decide the system that suited my needs and requirements. Two separate houses required Solar and Joe was able to come through with a package and price we were extremely happy with.

Home and Agri were able to install both houses on the same day and the teams of electricians and roofers worked professionally. They were extremely clean and the routing of cables and choice of conduit satisfied us.

We chose the Sigenergy system with battery and we are delighted with the system so far.
I would recommend Home and Agri to anyone looking to set Solar installed.
After researching for ages Home & Agri were most honest & easy to understand when giving a quote. Installation was superb despite problems with our site which was our fault. I won’t mention names as everyone was excellent to deal with & tech advice was second to none months after installation. The job was completed within the time frame given. Real professional Company to deal with.
