Our Mission
We’re making solar panels and EV chargers simple, affordable, and accessible for Irish homeowners and businesses.
Most people face the same confusion: unclear pricing, complicated grant processes, installers who overpromise, and a lack of straightforward guidance. We started GoSolarIreland.ie to solve this. We connect you with:
- SEAI Registered Solar Installers
- Safe Electric Certified EV Charger Installers
Our goal is simple: more Irish properties generating their own electricity and charging their own vehicles with zero hidden costs and zero surprises.

How We Work
1. We Match You With Qualified Installers
We are not installers ourselves; we are connectors. When you submit your details, we match you with certified professionals in your area who:
- Specialise specifically in renewables, not general electrical work.
- Have a proven track record with SEAI and ZEVI grant applications.
- Understand Irish roof types and specific electrical standards.
- Provide transparent quotes (Equipment + Labour + Upgrades).
- Handle all grant paperwork from start to finish.
2. We Guide You Through the Process
Our guides are built on real-world installations and actual SEAI requirements. We cover:
- SEAI Solar Grant (€1,800): Eligibility, timelines, and documentation.
- SEAI EV Charger Grant (€300): Application steps and qualifying chargers.
- TAMS Farm Grant (60%): Solar solutions for the agricultural sector.
- Business Incentives: ZEVI Workplace Charging and Accelerated Capital Allowances (100% year-one tax write-off).
3. We Prioritise Transparency
We don’t sugarcoat costs or timelines. We provide the facts:
- Real Solar Pricing: Typically €5,000 to €12,000 before the €1,800 grant.
- Real EV Pricing: Typically €800 to €1,500 before the €300 grant.
- Honest Timelines: Solar takes 2–4 weeks; EV chargers take 1–2 weeks. (Note: SEAI grant processing is often the bottleneck).
- No Upsells: We recommend the system size you actually need based on usage, not the biggest one available.
Why Trust GoSolarIreland.ie?
We Know Irish Properties
Our network spans all 26 counties. We understand that a 1960s home requires a different assessment than a modern build, and that south-facing roofs in Kerry yield differently than east-west splits in Donegal.
Specialised Focus
We don’t sell heat pumps or insulation. By focusing exclusively on Solar PV and EV Charging, we know:
- Which inverters and panels perform best in Irish weather.
- How to handle common challenges like older consumer units, flat roofs, or shading.
- The ins and outs of SEAI, TAMS, and ZEVI requirements.
Strict Installer Vetting
Every partner in our network must be SEAI Registered and Safe Electric Ireland Certified. This is non-negotiable because:
- It is required to claim your grants.
- It ensures you are legally protected through insurance and warranties.
- It guarantees code-compliant installations and safety.
Expert Tip: Saving €200 by hiring an unregistered installer could cost you your €1,800 SEAI grant. We ensure you get the expertise that pays for itself.
Our Core Values
- Transparency Above All: We tell you the real costs and challenges upfront.
- Irish First: We are 100% focused on the Irish market, standards, and grants.
- Expertise Matters: We value quality design and electrical safety over “cheap” fixes.
- Long-Term Relationships: Solar is a 25-year investment. Our partners provide after-sales support, BER coordination, and warranty coverage.
The Team Behind GoSolarIreland.ie

Our team includes:
- Solar Specialists focused on panel brands and inverter configurations.
- EV Charger Experts who know every SEAI-approved smart charger.
- Grant Specialists who navigate the bureaucracy of SEAI and TAMS daily.
Our Content Philosophy
We assume you are intelligent and want actual information, not marketing fluff. Our guides address:

- Real Timelines: Managing expectations regarding grant approvals.
- Real Solutions: How to prepare your property for the energy transition.
