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.

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.
Typical Solar PV System
System Size No. of Panels Est. Annual Output Savings per Year
*Savings estimates exclude any battery or optional system enhancements.
| System Size | No. of Panels | Est. Annual Output |
|---|---|---|
| 2kW | 5–6 panels | ~1,800 kWh |
| 4kW | 10–12 panels | ~3,600 kWh |
| 6kW | 15–18 panels | ~5,400 kWh |
How Solar PV Installation Works
Getting solar panels installed on your home is straightforward and low-disruption:
We assess your roof, orientation, and energy needs to design the right system
Panels are safely mounted on your roof using secure brackets
Inverters and wiring are installed to connect the system to your home electricity
The system is tested, commissioned, and optimised for maximum performance
We explain how to monitor your energy production and manage your savings
Most installations are completed within 1–3 days, giving you clean, renewable electricity and lower energy bills — often from the very first day.
Enhance Your Solar System
Battery Storage (store daytime energy for night-time use)
Smart Diverters (heat water using surplus energy)
EV Chargers (fuel your electric car for free!)
Monitoring App (track usage and performance in real time)

June 2026 External Wrap, Cavity Wall and Attic Insulation. Chimney blocked and vents inserted in all of the rooms and attic. I would like to thank Tony, the project manager and Niamh in the office for such a good experience (and all the Bluebuild people who worked on our house). Bluebuild carried out all works in a timely, professional manner with minimum distruption. They organised everything and helped with the grant paperwork. I would have no hesitation recommending Bluebuild.

We recently had external insulation installed on our home, and we couldn't be happier with the entire experience. The professionalism shown by everyone involved was outstanding. The quality of the workmanship is excellent, and the attention to detail is clear in the finished result. The installation crews were incredibly hardworking, friendly and courteous. They arrived early each day, worked efficiently, and were always happy to answer any questions we had. The management team were equally impressive. They were approachable, helpful and very accommodating throughout the project, making the whole process straightforward and stress-free. Nothing ever seemed like too much trouble. The work was completed much quicker than we expected, without any compromise on quality. The team also took great care to keep everything clean and tidy, leaving the property in excellent condition when the job was finished. We are absolutely delighted with the final result and would have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone . A first-class service from start to finish. We'd like to specifically thank Michael, Colm, Lulian and his crew and Niamh the secretary!
