Dundalk sees an average of 1440 hours of sunlight per year – making it an ideal location for solar panel installation. We can advise you on the solar panel system that’s best suited for you and your requirements.
One of the greatest benefits of commercial PV systems is the substantial cost savings. If you operate industrial PV panels, you can sell the excess energy to the utility companies for incurring profits.
We can advise you on the eligibility of your home for solar panel installation. Solar panels are best fitted on a south-facing roof but can be installed on east and west-facing rooms effectively. For flat roofs – solar panels can be installed but need to be unobstructed. We can advise you on solar panel installation for flat roofs. We are able to provide a free quote for solar panel installation for your home.
Businesses and agricultural premises can greatly benefit from solar panel installation. Your roof needs to ideally be south-facing but solar panels can also be installed on east or west-facing roofs. Solar panels can also be installed on the ground so we can advise you on this. We are able to provide a free quote for business or agricultural solar panel installation.
Yes, we have installed solar systems in many towns across the county. We
can help customers in rural areas as well as in towns.
Adding a solar battery allows you to store excess energy for use when
generation periods are lower, or energy tariffs are cheaper. Batteries can
be added to existing PV systems as upgrades. Get in touch to find out
more.
Yes, with the TAMS 3 grant, farmers can cut installation costs for a
renewable energy system and see even faster payback. Solar PV,
especially when combined with battery storage, is even more worthwhile
for farmers with high electricity costs – dairy, poultry and pig farmers can
see enormous savings.
Most PV installations on a house are completed within two days, and
disruption is kept to a minimum. PV systems for farms or businesses are
typically bigger systems, with a longer installation period.
