Representatives from the SEAI recently appeared before the committee and we put similar questions to them. They informed me that they have two lists, one of the companies that install solar panels and the other one of the actual installers who are qualified. I mentioned to them that Safe Electric had a concern that if somebody was removed from the Safe Electric list, the SEAI might not know about it. The Department of agriculture has a similar arrangement. It has a similar form for declaration of works and so forth. The Department of agriculture has just one list even though its form seems to imply there are two. It is not possible to get a list of installers from them. If somebody is installing a system, they cannot figure out who the installer is; it is not possible. In addition, some companies have been using the SEAI application instead of the Department of agriculture application and there are anomalies in that. Does looking at that kind of high-level carelessness come under the remit of the HSA?
