Solgrid, solar PV panel installation in Ireland

Solgrid is an Irish solar energy company based in Loughrea, County Galway, that designs and installs photovoltaic (PV) systems for customers across the country. Its activity is organised into four areas: commercial, domestic, agricultural, and sports and community. The company presents itself as a solar panel specialist and states that it has its own design and installation teams.

PV systems for every type of customer

Solgrid's service catalogue is divided into four distinct lines:

• Commercial: solar panels for industrial, manufacturing and retail installations.
• Domestic: systems for homes, property management and households.
• Agricultural: solar systems for farms, fisheries and food production.
• Sports and community: installations for clubs, community centres, sports halls and golf courses.

The company states that it designs PV systems tailored to each customer's energy needs and that its installations aim to maximise efficiency and savings, without risk to the customer's installations.

Grants and energy savings

Solgrid notes that SEAI, TAMS and NDMG grants cover between 20% and 60% of the cost of a solar system for businesses, farms, homes or community centres. The company states that its systems can reduce electricity bills by up to 70% and that its team supports the customer throughout the grant application process. The work process described by the company includes an advisory call, a free technical visit to assess and design the system, grant processing, and full management from ESB applications through to installation and commissioning.
