As the days get shorter and the year winds down, many businesses shift into planning mode for the year ahead. But if you’re considering solar PV for your business, November isn’t just planning season—it’s action season. And here’s why: starting your solar PV journey now means your system can be installed and generating clean, free energy by March, just in time for peak solar generation.
At ePower, we help businesses across Ireland plan and install high-quality solar PV systems that reduce energy costs, cut carbon emissions, and improve sustainability profiles. Step through the process with us below:
1. Grid Connection: Act Now to Be Ready by March
One of the key steps in any solar PV installation is securing a grid connection through an NC application to ESB Networks. This process can take up to 14 weeks from submission to approval.
By starting your solar planning with ePower in November, we can prepare and submit your application in time to have everything ready for a March installation—perfectly timed to capture the beginning of peak solar season from March through to late summer. Avail of the grants while they are as good as they are.
2. Take Advantage of Commercial Solar Grants in Ireland
One of the most compelling reasons to go solar is the range of financial supports available for businesses investing in renewable energy. These grants make solar more affordable and financially attractive than ever before.
The SEAI Non-Domestic Microgen Grant (NDMG) is available to businesses, schools, community organisations and public sector bodies. Funding of up to €162,600 is available, depending on system size.
Battery storage support may also be available.
Accelerated Capital Allowance (ACA) tax incentive allows your business to deduct 100% of the cost of your solar PV system from your profits in year one, improving your cash flow and shortening the system’s payback period.
By working with ePower, our team ensures you understand and apply for every available grant and tax incentive—maximising the value of your investment.
3. Enhance Energy Security and Sustainability
Beyond cost savings, solar PV helps your business gain greater control over its energy usage and reduces exposure to fluctuating energy prices. It also supports your Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals—a key consideration for customers, investors, and regulators.
Adding solar to your business operations demonstrates a proactive commitment to sustainability and innovation, enhancing your brand and future-proofing your operations.
