Large-scale solar investments above 1 MWp represent a significant capital commitment, and the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract you sign will ultimately determine whether that investment delivers strong, predictable returns—or underperforms from day one. Contact Solar Now to discuss how to maximise your investment.

Ireland’s grid operator, EirGrid, has repeatedly highlighted a “potentially challenging situation” in meeting electricity demand particularly between 2026 and 2028. This reflects an increasingly narrow margin between available generation capacity and forecast demand.

The global solar inverter market has been one of the fastest-moving slices of the energy transition. Since 2020 manufacturers have raced to supply the residential, commercial and utility-scale markets with string, central, hybrid and micro-inverters — and a small set of vendors has dominated shipments.

Grid resilience refers to the ability of the power system to withstand, adapt to, and recover quickly from unexpected disruptions — whether those disruptions are technical faults, cyberattacks, or extreme weather events. For Ireland, grid resilience is not just a technical challenge, but a cornerstone of economic security, energy independence, and climate responsibility.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: Irish businesses are leaving six- and seven-figure sums on the table every year by not putting solar PV on their roofs. Despite policy tailwinds, strong grants and some of Europe’s highest business electricity costs, the commercial rooftop market still lags Ireland’s potential. That gap isn’t just a climate miss — it’s a cash leak.

Demand-response (DR) programs in Ireland are initiatives designed to reduce electricity consumption during peak demand times, helping balance the supply and demand on the grid. These programs incentivise consumers (households, businesses, and industrial users) to either reduce or shift their energy usage when electricity demand is high or when the grid is under stress

The energy landscape is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by innovations such as renewable energy integration, smart grids, and decentralized energy resources.
One of the most exciting developments in this area is the emergence of Virtual Power Plants (VPPs), which offer new opportunities and challenges, particularly when paired with commercial solar photovoltaic (PV) systems.

Floating solar PV systems are particularly beneficial in areas with limited solar exposure and high population density. Ireland, with its growing energy demand and ambitious climate goals, is well-positioned to explore this technology. Advantages include reduced evaporation, and increased efficiency due to the cooling effect of water. Contact Solar Now TODAY to discuss your project.
