There are alot of companies now installing Solar Panels in Ireland. Here at Solar Share we recommend getting at least 3 quotes before making a decision.
These companies are registered with the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) to ensure adherence to best practices.
It’s important to note that while SEAI registers these companies, it does not endorse or warranty their services or products.
What do Solar Panel Installers need to do to register with The SEAI
Contractors are registered based on their commitment to installing systems in compliance with the Domestic and Non-Domestic Technical Standards and Specification (DTSS), as well as following the program’s Code of Practice and Quality Assurance and Disciplinary Procedures (QADP). Additionally, registration ensures compliance with tax and insurance regulations.
We recommend obtaining at least three quotes from different companies for your peace of mind. Solar Share can orgainise that for you, just add your details to the form you see at the top and bottom of this page to get things moving.
Once you have made contact wiht potential installers you should conduct thorough online research, request references from past projects, and speak with previous clients to assess the company’s reputation. It’s crucial to proceed with the works only when a written contract is in place, providing you with appropriate consumer protection.
Ensure that the company you choose is listed among the SEAI-registered companies to be eligible for support grants. Be cautious of individuals offering solar PV services not registered with SEAI, as their installations are ineligible for grant support.
Here are some questions to ask potential Solar Panel Installers :
- How much energy can I expect the PV system to produce annually?
- What is the total cost, including installation?
- What are the ongoing service and maintenance costs?
- What warranty coverage is provided for the system?
- Is my roof suitable for PV installation, and is my electricity demand compatible? Your selected company should provide a tailored design and payback analysis specific to your home’s needs.
