Irish Community Solar

Solar for Your
Community,
Done Properly.

We guide Irish community groups, sports clubs and parish organisations through every stage of installing solar panels — from feasibility to final commissioning — so your committee can focus on running the club, not deciphering inverter specifications.

Project Oversight

Voluntary committees do remarkable things — but managing a solar installation is a construction project with technical, legal and financial dimensions. We provide the expertise so the process runs smoothly.

Who We Serve

Built for Community
Organisations Across Ireland

Whether you run a GAA club, a parish hall, a community centre or a local sports facility, the challenges of going solar are similar — and we understand them.

GAA & Sports Clubs

Clubhouses, changing rooms and floodlit pitches with significant electricity demand are well-suited to solar generation. We assess your specific load profile and roof orientation.

Parish & Religious Organisations

Churches, parish halls and associated community buildings often have large roof areas and intermittent energy use — characteristics that can make solar economically attractive.

Community Centres & Groups

Local community centres serving multiple groups benefit from reduced operating costs. Lower energy bills mean more resources directed toward the community programmes that matter.

Our Process

From First Question
to Final Commissioning

A structured process that removes uncertainty and keeps your committee informed at every stage without overwhelming them with technical detail.

01

Feasibility Assessment

We evaluate your building's solar potential — roof orientation, structural condition, shading analysis, current energy consumption and grid connection — and produce a clear report your committee can act on.

02

Grant & Planning Support

We prepare and coordinate SEAI community grant applications, advise on planning permission requirements and liaise with local authorities — handling the paperwork so your volunteers don't have to.

03

Procurement & Installation

We source competitive quotes from vetted installers, manage the tender process, oversee installation quality and verify system performance after commissioning — your single point of technical contact throughout.

What We Do

A Complete Coordination
Service for Community Solar

Feasibility Reports

Technical assessment of your building's solar suitability, including roof analysis, energy audit and indicative system sizing.

SEAI Grant Applications

Preparation and submission of SEAI community grant applications, including documentation management and correspondence with the agency.

Planning Guidance

Advice on exempted development thresholds and, where required, coordination of planning permission applications with your local authority.

Competitive Procurement

Structured tender process to obtain comparable quotes from qualified installers, with technical evaluation and recommendation.

Installation Oversight

On-site presence during key installation milestones, quality checks against specification and liaison with the installer on your behalf.

Performance Verification

Post-commissioning checks to confirm the system is generating as expected, with a handover report your committee can keep on file.

Why It Matters

Your Committee Has Enough to Manage

Running a community organisation is a substantial voluntary commitment. Fundraising, facilities management, event coordination, membership — the list never shortens. Adding a solar installation project to that workload without technical support creates real risk of delays, cost overruns or a system that underperforms.

We act as your technical project manager — present when it matters, available when questions arise, and accountable for the quality of the outcome.
