About the Project

Dawn Pork & Bacon with the help of Activ8 Solar Energies and SSE Airtricity, put together a commercial solar plan for their premises on the banks of the River Suir. Adding solar PV to their existing electrical infrastructure will assist them in powering their meat processing facility with renewable electricity. The project was completed in 3 weeks and with forward planning in place, we guaranteed that there would be zero outages on-site and therefore, no downtime to operations.

Project Management

“Having installed 260kWp in 2021, the early production from the system gave Dawn Pork & Bacon the confidence to install a further 719kWp in 2022, another 161kWp in 2023, and a further 135.7kWp in 2024 for an overall 1.2MWp system.”
