Solar Energy Guidelines
Dail Éireann — 2023-10-26
============================================================

David Stanton (FG), Cork East

I thank the Minister for his reply. I have been searching for the registered installer list of actual installers on his Department's website. I can only find the accepted solar PV registered installer list, which lists the companies. It does not list the actual individual electricians. I cannot find it. Will the Minister tell me if there is such a list in his Department? There are two forms that are required to be filled out and one of the forms mentions the companies and the other mentions the installers. I put it to the Minister that the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, SEAI, has a list of installers but it is not a live list, if such a list exists. If a farmer wants to install solar PV on his or her farm is there a list they can go to and be confident that the people on that list are currently certified, recognised and regulated by Safe Electric Ireland because I cannot find it even though his Department does talk about a list of installers and a list of companies - two separate lists - as SEAI has but the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine does not seem to have?
