Compare Multiple Quotes
Get at least 2–3 written quotes with itemised breakdowns. A typical 4kWp system in Westmeath costs €5,000–€8,000 before the grant. Ensure quotes include panels, inverter, mounting, electrical work, and BER assessment.
Verify Insurance & Warranties
Confirm public liability insurance and ask about workmanship warranty (minimum 5 years). Panel manufacturers typically offer 25-year performance guarantees and inverters come with 10–12 year warranties.

Confirm Grant Handling
A good installer helps with the SEAI grant application, ESB Networks NC6 form, and arranges the post-works BER assessment. Ask whether these are included in the quoted price.
