What to check when hiring solar installers in Ireland
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- In Ireland, gas work must by law be done by a Registered Gas Installer (RGI) and electrical work by a contractor registered with Safe Electric. Verify the registration on the public register before any gas or electrical job, as using an unregistered installer is illegal and dangerous.
- Agree an itemised written quote with staged payments tied to completed work rather than a large cash deposit up front, and confirm the tradesperson's public-liability insurance before they start.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
- Get a written, itemised quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule.
How to judge a solar installer
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each tradesperson’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- To claim the SEAI solar PV grant the installer must be on the SEAI registered companies list (seai.ie): confirm SEAI registration before you commit, as an unregistered installer means no grant.
- The electrical connection must be carried out and certified by a Safe Electric-registered electrician (safeelectric.ie), and grid-connected systems must be notified to ESB Networks.
- Check the business is on the CRO or a registered sole trader, holds tax clearance, and carries public liability insurance.
- Get an itemised written quote including VAT, the panel and inverter make/model, output estimate and warranties.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- Claims an SEAI grant but isn't on the SEAI registered list.
- Does the electrical connection without a Safe Electric-registered electrician or a Completion Certificate.
- Cash-only with no VAT invoice, or a large deposit up front.
- Vague on equipment, output estimate or warranties.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Are you an SEAI-registered installer so I can claim the grant?
- Who certifies the electrical connection, and will I get a Completion Certificate?
- Will the system be notified to ESB Networks?
- What are the panel, inverter and workmanship warranties, including VAT in the price?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy solar installer?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A solar installer backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend solar installers for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Solar installers are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a solar installer?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the solar installer, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
