What to know about solar in Galway
Galway has two councils: Galway City Council for the city and Galway County Council for everywhere else, so check which one covers your home if you have a planning question. Met Éireann notes that coastal areas tend to get more bright sunshine than inland areas.
Planning
Rooftop solar on a house is often exempt from planning, but the exemptions have conditions, for example for protected structures and Architectural Conservation Areas. We check yours before we quote. In Galway, the planning authority is Galway County Council and Galway City Council.
Choosing a solar installer in Galway
SEAI's advice is to use an SEAI-registered company, get a written quote, and ask how much energy the system will produce in a year, what it costs in total, what warranty comes with it, and whether your roof suits solar. We're an SEAI-registered solar PV company, and our written proposal gives you named equipment, a clear price and the yearly generation we expect from your roof. We don't publish prices, because every roof and every home's usage is different.
