When people think about electricity generation in Ireland, they often imagine wind farms, gas plants, or traditional rooftop solar panels tilted toward the sun. However, one of the smartest and most efficient solutions for Ireland’s climate is often overlooked: vertical solar panels, especially bifacial vertical solar panels.

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.

Many people may ask where Ireland’s climate targets originate from and why they are being so badly missed. Why was 2030 selected as a milestone year, why was 2050 selected as the terminus year, and why do some countries ignore these supposedly common efforts by setting their own deadline years, or none at all.
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.

SEMO (Single Electricity Market Operator) operates the electricity market in Ireland and Northern Ireland. The Day-Ahead Market (DAM) is a key component of this market, where electricity prices are determined for the following day based on supply and demand forecasts. Contact Solar Now TODAY to dramatically reduce the price per kWh your business pays for electricity.

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.

As the world shifts towards renewable energy, solar power remains at the forefront of clean electricity generation. While rooftop solar installations currently dominate the market, wall-mounted or façade-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are rapidly gaining attention for their unique advantages. Contact Solar Now TODAY to discuss your project.
