Founder & Solar Energy Editor at Solar Info
About
John Rooney is the founder of Solar Info and has been covering the Irish solar energy market since 2023. He created Solar Info to give Irish homeowners an independent, data-driven resource for navigating solar panel installations, SEAI grants, and equipment choices.
John fact-checks all content against official SEAI data and maintains relationships with SEAI-registered installers across Ireland. He reviews grant amounts, feed-in tariff rates, and equipment specifications quarterly to ensure accuracy.
Before founding Solar Info, John worked in technology and saw first-hand how difficult it was for Irish homeowners to find reliable, independent information about solar energy. Every guide on this site is written to help people make informed decisions — not to sell products.
Editorial Approach
- 1.All claims are sourced from official bodies (SEAI, Revenue, CRU, PVGIS) and linked to primary documents.
- 2.Cost figures are based on real installer quotes, not manufacturer claims. Ranges are given rather than single numbers.
- 3.Sponsored listings are always labelled and never influence editorial content, calculator data, or equipment comparisons.
- 4.Content is reviewed quarterly and updated immediately when material changes occur (e.g. Budget announcements, grant changes).
