At Solar Path, we've developed a systematic approach to commercial solar panel installation that minimises complexity while maximising energy benefits. Our proven process ensures your business can harness solar power efficiently:
We begin with a thorough solar installer consultation to evaluate your energy consumption patterns and business needs. Our technical experts conduct a detailed assessment of your roof space, structural integrity, and available installation areas. This critical first step determines if a commercial solar PV system will deliver the energy independence and cost savings your business requires.
Based on our assessment findings, we engineer a tailored commercial solar solution specifically for your business premises. Our proposal includes precise specifications for optimal solar panel system size, projected kwh generated, estimated energy costs reduction, and available solar panel grants through SEAI. This transparent approach provides clarity on both upfront cost and lifetime cost considerations.
Upon your approval, our team manages all necessary documentation, including planning permission applications and SEAI grant funding paperwork. We handle the entire administrative process, allowing you to focus on running your business while we prepare for your solar installation.
Our certified installation team implements your commercial solar PV system with minimal disruption to your daily operations. Working collaboratively with your staff, we ensure the installation process is completed efficiently—typically within just a few days—maintaining our commitment to technical excellence and professional service.
After installation, we commission your solar PV panels and provide comprehensive training on system operation and maintenance costs expectations. You'll receive access to advanced monitoring technology that tracks solar electricity production and energy bills reduction in real-time during daylight hours.After installation, we activate your system and provide comprehensive training on its usage and maintenance. You’ll also gain access to an online monitoring portal, allowing you to track energy production and savings in real time.

Advantages of Commercial Solar Panels
Installing commercial solar panels offers multiple financial benefits for businesses across Ireland. The typical payback period for commercial solar PV installations ranges from 2-4 years, with systems continuing to generate electricity and savings for 25+ years afterward.
Most businesses see energy costs reduced by 50-70% after installing commercial solar panels, creating a smart investment that continues to deliver value long after the initial cost is recovered. Solar energy systems also protect your business from rising electricity prices, ensuring greater financial stability and predictable energy expenses.Installing commercial solar panels offers multiple financial benefits for businesses across Ireland.

Commercial solar panels typically deliver reliable performance for 25-30 years. Most panel manufacturers provide 25-year production warranties, ensuring long-term energy security.Inverters and batteries generally come with 10 year warranties. Businesses typically achieve a return on investment within 2-3 years through significant reduction in electricity bills.
Commercial solar energy systems are primarily grid-connected installations that integrate with the national grid. This configuration allows businesses to utilise both solar power and grid electricity as needed. Excess electricity generated can either be exported to the grid for additional revenue or stored in battery systems for use when solar production decreases.
Crystalline Silicon Cell Panels represent the optimal choice for commercial solar PV installations, offering an excellent balance of performance and value. Monocrystalline panels deliver superior efficiency rates (15-22%) and are particularly beneficial for businesses with limited roof covering area or specific energy needs.
A typical medium-sized business requires approximately 70 solar panels to meet its complete electricity needs. The exact system size depends on factors including your business's energy consumption, available installation space, desired energy offset percentage, solar panel efficiency, and local climate conditions.
While natural precipitation helps keep panels clean, annual professional maintenance for commercial solar installations is recommended to ensure optimal energy production. Regular system checks maximise your solar investment and maintain peak performance of your solar inverter and other components.
Commercial solar panel costs in Ireland typically range from €800-€1,200 per kWp installed, before SEAI grants and incentives. A 10kW commercial solar PV system costs approximately €10,000-€12,000 after available solar grants. Larger installations benefit from economies of scale, with per-panel costs decreasing as system size increases.
A power purchase agreement (PPA) allows businesses to install commercial solar panels with zero upfront cost. Under this arrangement, a solar provider installs and maintains the solar PV systems on your property, selling you the electricity generated at a rate lower than utility prices. This enables businesses to reduce energy costs and carbon footprint without capital investment.
Commercial solar PV systems are available in three primary configurations:
Most popular solution for businesses with adequate roof space
Ideal for properties with available land area
Dual-purpose installations providing both clean energy production and covered parking
