Every SEAI Solar PV grant carries the same hidden tax: the paperwork. The install might take a day, but the Declaration of Works, Inspection & Test Report, Completion Checklist, NC6 and VAT invoice can swallow another evening — per job. For a busy installer running several jobs a week, that's a part-time admin role nobody signed up for.
The real cost of doing it by hand
The time is the obvious cost. The less obvious one is rejection. SEAI bounces submissions for small, avoidable reasons — a mistyped MPRN, an NC6 box that drifted out of its cell, a missing signature on page three. Each bounce is another week before the grant clears, and another evening fixing and resubmitting.
Stack that across a year and the cost isn't measured in hours — it's measured in jobs you didn't take because you were buried in forms, and grant money that landed weeks later than it should have.
What changes with GrantDocs
GrantDocs collects the job once — homeowner details, system spec, components — and writes every SEAI document from it. No re-typing the same information into five different forms. No hunting for the latest template. No second-guessing whether the version on your laptop is the one SEAI is currently accepting.
- All five SEAI documents generated from one job entry
- Filled onto SEAI's official templates — not redrawn or approximated
- Click any field on the PDF to fix a typo; it re-renders in under a second
- Homeowner signs the Declaration from their phone by email link
- The full pack downloads as a single submit-ready ZIP
Why installers don't go back
Once the paperwork stops being a bottleneck, the business changes shape. You take the next job because the last one's admin isn't hanging over you. Submissions clear first time because the forms are right by construction. Grant money arrives sooner because SEAI isn't sending it back.
“The paperwork was the part of the job I dreaded. Now it's the part I don't think about.”
That's the switch. Not a feature — a different relationship with the part of the job everyone hates. Your first three jobs are free, so you can see the output before you pay anything.
