Our experienced team ensures that every project is executed to the highest standards, providing clients with efficient, reliable, and cost-effective solar energy solutions.
Understanding SEAI: What Does it Mean for Your Solar Panel Installation?
The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) plays a crucial role in promoting renewable energy solutions throughout the country. SEAI supports homeowners and businesses by offering financial incentives, such as grants, for the installation of energy-efficient technologies, including solar panels.
For a solar panel installation to qualify for an SEAI grant, it must meet specific criteria. These criteria ensure that the installation is carried out to the highest standards, guaranteeing the efficiency and effectiveness of the solar power system.
Key SEAI Criteria for Solar Panel Installation
Registered Contractors:
The contractor you choose for your solar panel installation must be registered with SEAI. Drish Electrical is a fully SEAI registered installer, ensuring that all work is compliant with national standards.
System Size:
The solar panel system must be of an appropriate size for your energy needs. SEAI will typically grant support for systems that are designed to meet the energy requirements of the property, while ensuring that the system is efficient.
Eligibility:
To qualify for the SEAI grant, your property must meet certain eligibility criteria, such as being an existing building (new builds are not eligible), and the solar panels must be installed as part of a broader energy upgrade (such as a heat pump system or insulation).
System Installation:
Solar panels should be installed in accordance with SEAI’s best practice guidelines, ensuring that the installation is safe, efficient, and effective for long-term performance. Our expert team at Drish Electrical follows these guidelines to provide you with the highest level of service.
