Working with Roscommon County Council

Roscommon County Council

The Roscommon planning landscape, the local BER assessor pool, and how we navigate both for every install.

Planning office

Roscommon County Council

Courthouse, Roscommon Town, F42 VR98

For protected structures and Architectural Conservation Areas in Roscommon, 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 Roscommon installs need zero council interaction.

SEAI Grant FAQ · Roscommon

All the grant questions,
answered for Roscommon.

Real questions from Roscommon homeowners. Answers reference Roscommon County Council, our local BER assessor pool, and the actual 11-day approval window we see for Roscommon filings.

The SEAI Solar Electricity Grant pays up to €2,100 per home in Roscommon (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 Roscommon we file through Roscommon County Council and coordinate with one of 26 SEAI-approved BER assessors operating in the area.
Roscommon County Council's planning office is at Courthouse, Roscommon Town, F42 VR98. While solar PV on most Roscommon 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://roscommoncoco.ie/planning/.
Our Roscommon grants take 11 working days on average from filing to approval. Roscommon is slightly above average due to Connacht batch processing schedules. We file at quote acceptance to compress the timeline. Total timeline from quote to grant payout is 55-75 days.
26 SEAI-approved BER assessors are active in Roscommon per the SEAI public register. We pre-book assessor slots in batches each month, which means Roscommon 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 Roscommon 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 Roscommon, separate schemes apply (TAMS 3 for farms, SME grants up to €162,600).
New builds (post-31 Dec 2020) in Roscommon 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. Roscommon has a growing pool of post-2020 builds, especially in newer estates around Boyle and Castlerea — we flag eligibility at first contact.
Yes, Roscommon 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 Roscommon.
For most Roscommon homes: no. Roscommon County Council planning permission is exempt for domestic rooftop solar PV (SI 405/2022). The exceptions in Roscommon — protected structures (Section 57 declaration needed), Architectural Conservation Areas, apartments — we coordinate with Roscommon's planning office at Courthouse.
