TAMS 3 Grant Update: 60% Funding for Farm Solar Installations

Young trained farmers can now access up to 60% grant funding for solar PV installations through the TAMS 3 scheme. This is one of the most generous solar grants available in Ireland.

TAMS 3 Grant Rates

• 60% - Young Trained Farmers
• 50% - Qualified Farmers
• 40% - Standard Rate

What's Covered?

The grant covers solar PV installations up to 162 kWp on agricultural buildings. This includes the panels, inverters, mounting systems, and installation costs.

Benefits for Irish Farms

Agricultural operations have high daytime electricity usage—perfect for solar. Dairy farms, poultry operations, and grain drying facilities can see immediate savings on their electricity bills.

Application Process

Applications are made through the Department of Agriculture's agfood.ie portal. Sun Arc provides full support throughout the application process, from initial assessment to final installation.
