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.
