At Ardkeen Quality Food Store in Waterford, the team has always believed in doing things the right way—from sourcing top-quality local produce to supporting the community around them. So when the opportunity came to take a big step toward energy independence and sustainability, they partnered with Greenvolt Next Ireland to install a powerful new rooftop solar system.
This wasn’t just about cutting energy bills (although that’s definitely a plus). It was about making a long-term investment in the environment, their community, and the future.

CO2 avoided per year
Greenvolt Next Ireland designed and installed a 188kW solar PV system on the store’s rooftop. The panels are now generating an impressive 164,840 kilowatt-hours of clean electricity every year—power that goes straight into running the store’s operations.
That means less reliance on the grid and a lighter environmental footprint.
And the carbon savings? They’re avoiding about 49 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually. That’s the equivalent of planting over 133 trees every year! The cost savings have allowed them to half their energy bill per month. This project is a great example of how local businesses can lead by example. By choosing solar, Ardkeen Quality Food Store is showing that sustainability isn’t just for the future—it’s happening right now.
And with partners like Greenvolt Next Ireland, making the switch has never been easier, as we bring energy next to you.
