Solar panels in Clare tailored quote
SEAI-registered solar PV installation across County Clare — Ennis, Shannon, Ennistymon, Lahinch and rural Clare. Free survey, grant paperwork and ESB notification included.
Why Clare homes go solar
Clare combines high heating demand (lots of detached rural homes) with strong south and south-west solar irradiation. A 4 kW system in Ennis or Shannon generates ~3,700 kWh/year — paying back in 6–8 years on current ESB tariffs. Add a battery and you cover most evening self-use too.

Local knowledge
What we see on Clare roofs
From salt-blasted bungalows on the Loop Head peninsula to modern A-rated builds around Ennis and Shannon — every part of County Clare has its own quirks. Here's what our crews plan for.
Ennis & Clarecastle
Mostly 3-bed semis on standard concrete tile — quick 1-day installs, typical 4 kW system generates ~3,700 kWh/year.
Shannon & Sixmilebridge
Newer estates with south-facing roofs — often perfect for 4–6 kW arrays with a 5 kWh battery for shift-work households.
Lahinch, Kilkee & Loop Head
Atlantic-exposed sites — we spec marine-grade aluminium rails, A4 stainless fixings and IP68 DC connectors as standard.
Rural East Clare (Scariff, Tulla, Killaloe)
Large detached homes on oil heating — 6 kW + battery combos give the fastest payback here (5–7 years).
Farms & three-phase
Dairy and tillage farms around Kilmallock border and Sixmilebridge — 11 kW three-phase installs with NC7 notification handled in-house.
Planning & BER
No planning permission needed under 300 m² of PV in Clare. Post-install BER assessment included with every grant claim.
