Yes. Mitros Solar Ltd is listed on SEAI’s register of solar PV companies under registration number 50618, covering all counties in Ireland. You can verify that yourself in under a minute, and this page explains how - along with something most installers will not tell you about the phrase “SEAI approved”.
“Approved” Is Not the Word SEAI Uses
Search for a solar installer in Ireland and you will see “SEAI approved” everywhere. It is worth knowing that SEAI itself does not use that term. SEAI’s own position is explicit: companies are registered with SEAI to ensure best practice, and SEAI does not approve, guarantee or warranty a company or their works.
The distinction matters to you as a buyer. Registration is a real, verifiable credential with conditions attached - but it is not SEAI vouching for the quality of any individual job. Anyone implying that SEAI has personally endorsed their work is overstating what the register means. The honest answer is that Mitros is registered, that registration is required for you to receive your grant, and that the quality of the installation is on us to demonstrate rather than on SEAI to guarantee.
How to Verify Mitros (or Any Installer) Yourself
Do not take our word for it, and do not take any installer’s word for it. Check the register directly:
- Go to SEAI’s Solar PV Companies page - the list of registered professionals on seai.ie.
- Type the company name into the Company search field. Searching “Mitros” returns Mitros Solar Ltd.
- Check the registration number. Ours is 50618.
- Check the serving counties. Mitros is listed as covering all counties.
SEAI maintains separate Domestic and Non-Domestic registers, so make sure you are searching the one that matches your project. If a company you are considering does not appear on the register at all, that is decisive: their installation will not qualify for grant support, no matter what you are told.
What Registration Actually Requires
Getting onto the register is not a formality. Registered companies are admitted on the basis of:
- A commitment to install in accordance with the Domestic and Non-Domestic Technical Standards and Specification (DTSS) - the technical rulebook covering how a compliant system is designed and installed.
- Adherence to the programme Code of Practice.
- Adherence to the Quality Assurance and Disciplinary Procedures (QADP) - meaning registration can be withdrawn.
- Tax and insurance compliance.
SEAI also inspects a proportion of completed installations as part of its quality assurance process. Registration is therefore an ongoing obligation, not a one-off badge.
Why It Matters for Your Grant
This is the practical consequence: work carried out by a company that is not on the SEAI register does not qualify for the solar grant. Not “is harder to claim” - does not qualify. SEAI specifically warns homeowners to be alert to people offering solar PV who are not registered.
Combined with the rule that grant approval must be in place before works begin, using an unregistered installer is one of the two ways to lose €1,800 you were otherwise entitled to. Our step-by-step guide to the SEAI grant application covers the sequence in full.
What SEAI Recommends You Ask Us
SEAI advises homeowners to get at least four quotes from different registered companies, research each company, ask to see references from past projects, and never proceed without a written contract in place. We would rather you did all of that than not.
SEAI also publishes the questions you should put to any company you are considering:
- How much energy will the PV system produce in a year?
- What is the total cost?
- What are the ongoing service and maintenance costs?
- What warranty is provided?
- Is my roof and electricity demand suitable for PV?
A company that cannot answer these with figures specific to your house - rather than generic averages - is quoting a product, not designing a system. SEAI’s guidance is that your company should provide a specific design and payback for your home. That is the standard we work to.
Beyond the Register
SEAI registration covers solar PV installation for the grant scheme. It is worth knowing what else sits behind the company you are hiring. Mitros is an Irish engineering business headquartered in Cashel, County Tipperary, working across residential solar, commercial solar PV, battery energy storage, grid infrastructure and long-term operations and maintenance.
For a homeowner, the relevant part is that the same team handling your roof also designs grid connections and commercial energy systems - and will still be here when the system needs servicing in a decade.

Where We Work
Our SEAI registration covers all counties, but the company itself is run from Cashel, Co. Tipperary rather than from a national call centre. If you are in the county or the surrounding south-east, it is worth reading how we work locally on our solar panels in County Tipperary page, or for the town itself, solar panels in Cashel. For the grant itself, our SEAI solar grants guide for Irish homeowners covers current rates and eligibility.
