Frequently Asked Questions

Commercial Solar

Get in contact with us and discuss your aims with our Commercial team. We have extensive experience working with businesses and our own solar partners to avail of grants available to businesses in Ireland through numerous schemes with the SEAI and other agencies.

We will take you through the entire process from beginning to end and pride ourselves on our project management of commercial solar installations and accompanying grant application management.

We have worked with many companies with completely different operational procedures and needs. We will work around your operations and make sure that they are not effected through what can be a simple process once it is managed appropriately and in a safe manner.

As an ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 & ISO 45001:2018 company, our rigorous procedures mean we have installed many successful and seamless commercial installations without a single minutes delay to on-site operations.

Of course. There are many additional aspects of solar installations for the forward thinking businesses of Ireland and we can help you on all fronts. Just get in touch to discuss.

In most European countries, including Ireland, planning permission is not required for solar panel installations on commercial rooftops, provided the system meets certain criteria (e.g. not exceeding height limits, not being visible from protected structures, etc.). However, ground-mounted systems or installations in conservation areas may require approval.

Our commercial solar panels warranties are typically from 25 to 30 years, with most systems maintaining strong performance beyond that, ensuring long-term peace of mind. We manage the full process from install to ongoing monitoring, operation and maintenance for long term investment protection.

We assess your energy consumption, roof or land space, and business goals to calculate the optimal system size. Using a custom energy profile and 3D modelling, our in-house fully qualified solar engineers will design a solution tailored to your operational needs.

Microgeneration refers to the ability to export excess energy back to the grid. This generation will be paid for by your energy provider. Your ability to avail of microgeneration income will be dependent on your system, Activ8 will explore all options with you.

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a long-term contract between a business (the energy buyer) the energy seller, in this case, SSE Airtricity. There is no upfront cost to the business and they agree to purchase the electricity generated at a fixed rate—usually lower than grid prices.

Yes. In Ireland, businesses can avail of SEAI government grants ranging from €2,400 for a 6kWp system to €162,600 for a 1,000kWp system for commercial solar PV installations. Businesses in the UK can avail of Green Loans and Funding Schemes to offset costs.
