Planning office

Limerick City and County Council

Merchant's Quay, Limerick, V94 EH90

For protected structures and Architectural Conservation Areas in Limerick, we submit Section 57 declarations directly to this office. Solar PV on standard owner-occupied homes is exempt from planning permission since SI 405/2022 — so most Limerick installs need zero council interaction.

SEAI Grant FAQ · Limerick

All the grant questions,
answered for Limerick.

Real questions from Limerick homeowners. Answers reference Limerick City and County Council, our local BER assessor pool, and the actual 9-day approval window we see for Limerick filings.

The SEAI Solar Electricity Grant pays up to €2,100 per home in Limerick (and the rest of Ireland). Structured as €700/kWp for the first 2 kWp installed, capped at €2,100. The grant amount is the same nationwide — what differs by county is the local process: in Limerick we file through Limerick City and County Council and coordinate with one of 68 SEAI-approved BER assessors operating in the area.
Limerick City and County Council's planning office is at Merchant's Quay, Limerick, V94 EH90. While solar PV on most Limerick homes is exempt from planning permission (SI 405/2022), we coordinate directly with this office for protected structures, ACA-located homes, and apartments. Their planning portal: https://www.limerick.ie/council/services/planning-and-property.
Our Limerick grants take 9 working days on average from filing to approval. Right on the all-Ireland average. Total timeline from quote to grant payout is 53-73 days.
68 SEAI-approved BER assessors are active in Limerick per the SEAI public register. We pre-book assessor slots in batches each month, which means Limerick customers typically get their post-install BER reassessment within 7-10 days of switch-on — vs. 3-4 weeks if you book independently. Assessor fee (~€150-€200) is often included in our quote.
Unfortunately no — the SEAI Solar Electricity Grant is for owner-occupiers only. Landlords in Limerick can still install solar (Microgen Support Scheme tariff still applies, 0% VAT on solar PV materials since May 2023), but without the €2,100 grant payback stretches from 5-7 years to 8-10 years. For commercial/agricultural properties in Limerick, separate schemes apply (TAMS 3 for farms, SME grants up to €162,600).
New builds (post-31 Dec 2020) in Limerick are excluded from the SEAI residential grant — they're assumed to meet higher building energy standards already. You can still install solar — the Microgen Support Scheme tariff (~€0.21/kWh export) and 0% VAT apply. Limerick has a growing pool of post-2020 builds, especially in newer estates around Newcastle West and Castletroy — we flag eligibility at first contact.
Yes, Limerick homeowners can stack the Solar Electricity Grant with: SEAI EV Home Charger Grant (€300), Better Energy Home Scheme (insulation/heat pump grants up to €8,000+), and One-Stop-Shop service for whole-home retrofits. Plus 0% VAT on solar PV materials (since May 2023). All those stack on top of the €2,100 solar grant — same grant scheme works the same way in every county including Limerick.
For most Limerick homes: no. Limerick City and County Council planning permission is exempt for domestic rooftop solar PV (SI 405/2022). The exceptions in Limerick — protected structures (Section 57 declaration needed), Architectural Conservation Areas, apartments — we coordinate with Limerick City and's planning office at Merchant's Quay.
