    Sorry, I should have been clearer .... I'm looking for recommendations for contractors for installing solar panels for domestic hot water. Thanks

    ok I appreciate that, BUT if you are going for a grant, it is my understanding a BER is required

    The grant is €800 towards a solar installation. You get a further €80 towards the BER that is required. There are BER assessors who will do a fairly brief BER assessment for the purpose of obtaining the grant for a low fee - I have heard of them being done for €100 to €150. A proper BER assessment takes a lot more time (and money) and provides more information, but for those who just want to squeak through the grant process, there seem to be cheap ones available.
