What is commercial
\nsolar in Ireland?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Commercial solar systems are designed for businesses, industrial facilities, warehouses, retail sites and large commercial properties.<\/span><\/p>\n

Depending on the site, this can include rooftop solar, ground-mounted systems or solar carports.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choosing the right commercial solar solution <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Large roof areas can make rooftop solar an effective option for warehouses, retail stores and manufacturing facilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where land is available, ground-mounted solar can support much larger installations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Solar carports can also turn existing parking areas into renewable energy generation assets.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, Greenvolt Next has worked with Lidl Ireland on its Net Zero Energy store in Maynooth, where solar forms part of a wider renewable energy solution.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][nectar_btn size=”large” constrain_group_2=”yes” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Extra-Color-3″ icon_family=”default_arrow” text=”Lidl Case Study” url=”https:\/\/next.greenvolt.com\/ie\/case-studies\/lidl\/” css_animation=”bounceInUp” margin_left=”10px” margin_right=”10px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”70px” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”80px” bottom_padding=”50px” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”1″ gradient_direction=”top_to_bottom” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default” el_class=”size-h2″]\n

Commercial solar with
\nGreenvolt Next Ireland<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Businesses generally have two main funding routes for commercial solar. Through an EPC model, the organisation purchases and owns the solar system outright. Alternatively, a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) allows a business to benefit from renewable electricity generated at its site without the same upfront capital investment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Greenvolt Next Ireland supports businesses across both models, from initial feasibility and engineering through to construction, operation and maintenance. Our wider renewable energy solutions include commercial and ground-mounted solar, battery storage, heat pumps, biomass and Power Purchase Agreements, combining local project delivery expertise with the capabilities of the international Greenvolt Group.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Companies with plans to move premises, replace their\u00a0<\/span>roof<\/span>\u00a0or significantly change their operations should consider how those plans could affect the agreement.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ background_image=”38817″ background_image_type=”default” background_image_position=”center center” background_image_stacking=”default” enable_bg_scale=”true” background_image_loading=”default” column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”15px” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” content_layout=”default” gradient_type=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”300px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”40px” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#001142″ scene_position=”center” top_padding=”50px” constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”50px” left_padding_desktop=”60px” constrain_group_2=”yes” right_padding_desktop=”60px” text_color=”light” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”20px” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default” el_class=”size-h2″]\n
