What happens, step by step

You call or send an enquiry. We ask about the building, your bills and what you want solar to do for you, whether that’s cutting costs, charging a car or meeting a reporting obligation.

• Bring a recent electricity bill if you have one
• Tell us if you have or plan an EV or heat pump

An engineer calls out and looks at everything that limits the design: roof structure and condition, pitch and orientation, shading across the seasons, your consumer unit and supply, and where equipment can safely go.

• Roof structure, covering and condition
• Shading assessment, including low winter sun
• Electrical supply, board capacity and earthing
• Cable routes and inverter siting

We size the system against how you use electricity, then quote it with the equipment named. Any yield or savings projection comes with the assumptions written down.

• Named panels, inverter, mounting and battery
• Expected generation for your specific roof geometry
• Your grant entitlement, calculated in full
• What is included and what would be an extra

For the home grant, you apply to SEAI and receive the offer letter. It’s a short online application. We walk you through it and supply every detail it asks for. No work starts before that letter is issued, because starting early is the most common way a valid claim is lost.

• Eligibility confirmed before you apply
• We supply every detail the application asks for
• We hold installation until the offer is in place

Depending on its size, a generating system needs either a notification to the network operator or their agreement before it connects. We handle it. On larger commercial systems this can be the longest wait in the project, so we start it early.

• Notification or full application depending on system size
• Export limits confirmed before the design is finalised
• Registration completed after commissioning

Scaffolding or other access goes up, the mounting and panels are fitted, and a registered electrical contractor does the electrical work. Commercial work is phased around your operations.

• Safe access appropriate to the building
• Mounting specified for your roof type and exposure
• All electrical work certified on completion
• Site left clean and anything disturbed made good

We test, commission and register the system, set up monitoring and show you how to read it, so you can tell whether it’s working without ringing us.

• Full electrical testing and certification
• Monitoring configured on your phone or desktop
• Warranties and documentation collected in one place
• Completion documentation supplied for your grant claim

Solar needs little maintenance, but it does need some. We’re available for servicing, fault-finding and repairs, and for commercial and farm systems we recommend a planned maintenance agreement.

• Inspection, cleaning and electrical testing
• Fault diagnosis and repair
• Monitoring alerts on underperformance
