Frequently asked questions

You'll receive an email from us confirming your request has been received. The email will include a list of the suppliers who will be in touch with you.

The suppliers will contact you by email or phone. They may also wish to arrange a home visit to put together a suitable proposal. You can then accept an offer that works for you or reject all offers.

The choice is entirely yours either way, our service is free.

In most cases it can take 1–2 days before you hear from the suppliers. If you haven't been contacted by any supplier after 3 working days, you can email us at contact@solarpanels.ie and we'll look into what's happened.

Yes. You're never committed to anything when using Solarpanels.ie, and it's entirely up to you whether an offer suits you or not.

Unfortunately not. Solarpanels.ie is an independent marketplace and we are only responsible for the matching process. We don't get involved in the process between you and the suppliers and cannot influence your decision.

Normally you'll be contacted by several suppliers (up to a maximum of 4). Sometimes this isn't the case, and it can be down to a number of factors, such as where you live and the type of installation you're looking for.

Sometimes we're unable to find suppliers that match your needs. This may be because we don't have any connected suppliers in your area or for the type of installation you're looking for. It could also be that the connected companies are fully booked at the moment.

If you've encountered a problem with a supplier, you should in the first instance contact the company directly.

Sometimes you may need outside help. There are several organisations that work to support consumers in Ireland:

• Citizens Information — Provides free, impartial information on your consumer rights.
• Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) — Investigates businesses that breach consumer protection law and offers guidance on your rights.
• The Ombudsman — Offers dispute resolution for complaints about public bodies and certain services.
• European Consumer Centre Ireland — Helps with cross-border consumer disputes within the EU.

In the first instance we offer help and support directly on our website. On this page you'll find answers to most questions about Solarpanels.ie. We'd also recommend reading the Your request section above, where we answer questions our previous customers have had.

If you can't find the answer to your question or have encountered a problem with your request, you can always email us at contact@solarpanels.ie and we'll be happy to help.

If your question relates to a supplier you're in contact with, please get in touch with that company directly.

If you have a problem with your request or the form, email us at contact@solarpanels.ie and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Yes. Nettbureau AS, which owns and operates Solarpanels.ie, complies with the GDPR as enforced in Ireland under the Data Protection Act 2018.

Your address and contact details are needed to match you with solar suppliers that operate in your area. The other information we ask for in the form is used to select suppliers who work with the type of installation you're looking for.

Solarpanels.ie passes your personal details to selected solar suppliers so they can provide you with quotes. You'll be notified by email of which companies your details have been shared with.

Nettbureau AS, which owns and operates Solarpanels.ie, stores your personal details for as long as is relevant for generating offers, but for a maximum of five years. Normally all data is deleted within six months.

We closely follow the data retention rules set out in the GDPR. If you'd like all information about you to be deleted immediately, email data@nettbureau.no and we'll make sure that happens.

The details entered into the form on Solarpanels.ie are encrypted via a secure connection. Nettbureau AS has implemented several security measures to prevent information from being lost, misused, or used in breach of the law. Read more in our privacy policy.

No, we don't have mailing lists and don't send any form of marketing by email. The only emails you'll receive from us are the confirmation that you've submitted the form, and the opportunity to leave a review.

If you use Gmail, you may see ads in your inbox. It can look as though we've sent you something, but that's not the case, Gmail is simply an advertising platform used by Google. Solarpanels.ie sometimes pays for ads, which is why we may appear there.

If you don't want to see ads in your inbox, you can organise it using Google's default settings (Primary, Social, Promotions), which will keep ads out of your primary inbox. Find out how on Google's support pages.
