Why SEAI registration matters
SEAI says registered Solar PV companies are required to meet the scheme's registration requirements and relevant technical and quality-assurance requirements.
However, SEAI does not approve, guarantee or warranty a registered company's work.
Treat registration as an important eligibility filter, not as a substitute for checking the installer.
Get multiple quotes
SEAI recommends homeowners get at least four quotations.
When comparing Galway installers, put each quote into the same template:
| Item | Installer A | Installer B | Installer C | Installer D |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| System size | ||||
| Panels | ||||
| Inverter | ||||
| Battery | ||||
| Expected annual generation | ||||
| Scaffolding | ||||
| Electrical work | ||||
| Monitoring | ||||
| Warranty | ||||
| Gross price | ||||
| SEAI grant | ||||
| Net price |
Current Solar PV grant
The domestic 2026 Solar PV grant provides:
- €700 per kWp for the first 2 kWp
- €200 per kWp for additional capacity up to 4 kWp
- Maximum grant of €1,800
What should a Galway installer tell you?
SEAI recommends asking:
- How much energy will the PV system produce each year?
- What is the total cost?
- What maintenance is required?
- What warranty is provided?
- Is the roof suitable?
- Is the system appropriate for your electricity demand?
A good quotation should answer these questions clearly.
Do not start before grant approval
Your Solar PV grant application should be approved before you start eligible works.
