Solar panels for your business

Leverage solar PV to enhance your business's energy efficiency and move towards carbon neutrality.

Intro to solar PV

Solar panels generate clean, sustainable energy which reduces grid dependence and cuts down electricity costs. Embracing solar power can:

Decrease operational expenses
Elevate sustainability initiatives
Show environmental responsibility, promoting a more sustainable future

Explore SEAI business grants and supports for the non-domestic microgen scheme. If you have a smart meter, register for an ESB Networks account to view your smart meter readings and understand your energy use patterns.

Place panels in sunny, unobstructed areas and plan high-energy activities for peak sunlight periods.
Employ an energy management system to oversee and improve how you use energy.
Routinely clean and maintain panels for optimal efficiency.
Combine solar and battery storage to use surplus energy during peak demand or power outages.
Train employees on energy-saving techniques to promote sustainability and decrease energy use.
Use government incentives and rebates to reduce initial expenses.
