About the Project

The Marine Institute, located on the stunning coastline of Galway, sought a renewable energy solution to support their mission of sustainability and environmental stewardship. We delivered a bespoke 325kWp solar PV system, designed to harness clean energy efficiently in their coastal setting.
The installation features 783 panels, renowned for their high performance and reliability, to maximize energy conversion and system efficiency.

Project Management

“The installation of these two solar PV systems is a significant milestone in the delivery of the targets set out in the Marine Institute’s Climate Action Roadmap. We look forward to seeing the results of this decarbonisation project well into the future, as we commit to public sector climate objectives.”
