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

Planning office

Wexford County Council

County Hall, Carricklawn, Wexford, Y35 WY93

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

SEAI Grant FAQ · Wexford

All the grant questions,
answered for Wexford.

Real questions from Wexford homeowners. Answers reference Wexford County Council, our local BER assessor pool, and the actual 8-day approval window we see for Wexford filings.

The SEAI Solar Electricity Grant pays up to €2,100 per home in Wexford (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 Wexford we file through Wexford County Council and coordinate with one of 54 SEAI-approved BER assessors operating in the area.
Wexford County Council's planning office is at County Hall, Carricklawn, Wexford, Y35 WY93. While solar PV on most Wexford 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.wexfordcoco.ie/planning.
Our Wexford grants take 8 working days on average from filing to approval. Faster than the all-Ireland average of 10 days — Wexford applications are processed efficiently because of the local SEAI office workload. Total timeline from quote to grant payout is 52-72 days.
54 SEAI-approved BER assessors are active in Wexford per the SEAI public register. We pre-book assessor slots in batches each month, which means Wexford 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 Wexford 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 Wexford, separate schemes apply (TAMS 3 for farms, SME grants up to €162,600).
New builds (post-31 Dec 2020) in Wexford 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. Wexford has a growing pool of post-2020 builds, especially in newer estates around Enniscorthy and New Ross — we flag eligibility at first contact.
Yes, Wexford 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 Wexford.
For most Wexford homes: no. Wexford County Council planning permission is exempt for domestic rooftop solar PV (SI 405/2022). The exceptions in Wexford — protected structures (Section 57 declaration needed), Architectural Conservation Areas, apartments — we coordinate with Wexford's planning office at County Hall.
