There is an average of 1503 hours of sunlight per year in Dublin so it is a great place to consider solar panel installation for your home or your business. Solar PV is one of the cleanest and greenest sources of energy generation making it an excellent choice for people who want to save money and protect the environment.
Our local experts are able to advise you more on how you can benefit from our solar panel systems and solar energy systems.
Most properties are suitable for solar PV installations. As part of our consultation process we assess your roof to ensure solar technology is viable. If your roof is heavily shaded or north-facing, solar PV isn’t recommended. Most house roofs are capable of supporting the weight of a solar system and planning permission will be discussed before installation takes place.
You will need to make sure that the roof of your business premises sees sunlight in order to be able to fully use solar panels to power your business or provide additional energy. Your solar panels can’t face north or be in the shade but can be located at other points of the roof. The roof will also need to be able to hold a weight of 120kg to 280kg. We will work with you to assess whether solar panels are appropriate for your business premises.
Most solar PV systems don’t need planning permission. However.
depending on your location, including proximity to Dublin Airport, and
the size of the solar array, you might need planning permission. We will
review this at your initial consultation and advise.
Yes, we’ve installed solar systems on homes and businesses in Dublin city
centre, as well as surrounding areas within Dublin county.
Yes, under the microgeneration support scheme, you can be paid for the
extra energy you export to the grid.
Yes, we can install EV chargers to compliment a solar PV system. You’ll

We’ve installed solar systems right across Co. Dublin for a range of domestic, agricultural and commercial clients.
Every day you’re renting power from the electricity grid, paying a set amount for every unit you use. By installing solar PV on your roof, you generate your own power which can then be used to power the farm. You’ll use less grid power, so you’ll reduce your monthly bill. Any excess power generated can be stored in batteries or exported back to the grid for profit.
