What is Solar PV?
Solar PV (Photovoltaic) systems convert daylight into electricity, helping you power your home using clean, renewable energy — even on cloudy Irish days.
The result: lower bills, increased energy independence, and long-term home sustainability.
Why choose Solar PV?
Is My Home Suitable?
Most Irish homes are ideal candidates for solar PV. Your property is likely suitable if it has:
- A pitched or flat roof with sunlight exposure
- Minimal shading (trees, chimneys, etc.)
- Available roof space (typically 15–25m2 for 2–6kW)
- Daytime energy usage (home during daylight = more benefit)
We’ll assess roof orientation, shading, and electrical load during your free solar survey.

I've just had external wall insulation to my house and while it's an excellent job, most of the credit goes to Jason Roe, project manager. Nothing was a problem to him. He was so considerate and attentive. He made it all happen without a hitch. I would definitely recommend Bluebuild 100%

Bluebuild recently completed my Insulation and associated works. I have to say from Jason who was the Project Manager to everyone who was outsourced to do their job,I cannot speak highly enough about them. Everyone worked 100% and were so professional and courteous at all times. I would highly recommend Bluebuild.
