Solar for tenants
You don't need to own the building to cut your electricity bills with solar. With the temporary doubled SEAI grant, fast paybacks and equipment you can take with you, solar now works for businesses that rent or lease.
- SEAI grant
- Up to 45%
- Typical payback
- Circa 2 to 3 years
- Inverter and batteries
- Move with you
Why solar now works for tenants
- A doubled SEAI grant, for a limited timeUp to 45% of the cost, for applications made by 6 July 2027. SEAI pays the grant directly to you, and we handle the paperwork.
- Tax relief in year oneUnder the Accelerated Capital Allowance, companies can write off qualifying solar equipment against profits in the year of purchase.
- Paid back within your leaseWith the grant and tax relief, systems pay back in circa 2 to 3 years, within most lease terms.
- Lower bills from day oneEvery unit of solar you use is a unit you don't buy at the day rate. Surplus can be exported to the grid.
- Your investment can move with youThe inverter and batteries, a large share of the value, can come with you to your next premises.
Is it right for your business?
- A few years or more left on your lease
- High electricity use during the working day
- A large warehouse, factory or unit roof
- Your landlord's permission, and we'll help you ask for it
