Greentricity Ltd. is an Irish owned Carlow based Solar PV systems installer. With extensive background in construction and development, the company was founded in 2021 and since then they have gone from strength to strength engaging some great clients in the area, most notably e Lord Bagenal in Leighlinbridge and Leggettsrath Business Park in Kilkenny, among others.
“ rough our commercial projects, we have organically drifted into domestic work. Usually, it’s the other way around but when the demand is there, we must meet it.” Elaine Costello, Sales & Marketing Director.
Greentricity are SEAI registered as well as TAMS registered so can meet the needs of every client. ey are installing both domestic and commercial systems every week, with a fast-growing client base. Elaine goes on to say, “It’s very exciting to be contributing to sustainable energy, but what’s also great to see is the immediate cost savings our clients get from the moment we switch on the system.”
Solar PV is simply another source of electricity for a building. e cost of electricity has risen signi cantly and while there are rumblings that it will fall again, it will never be what it was. As our homes and work lives become more and more electri ed and our dependency on electricity increases, being more self-su cient is a nobrainer.
With the government recently announcing 0% Vat rates on Solar Panels which will save on average €1,200 alongside the SEAI grant of up to €2,400 available. A typical domestic system will pay for itself in 5 years. You can also sell any excess electricity produced from your solar system back to the grid and receive credit on your future electricity bills.

A typical commercial system is a good deal shorter at 3 to 4 years. Greentricity are seeing more and more demand for EV chargers as part of the installations. Increasingly, for commercial systems Greentricity are providing charging arrays which can be monetised and ultimately a source of income for a business.
Greentricity take the time to discuss all aspects of a Solar PV system. Whether it is a more creative or bespoke panel placement, cost savings and nancial analysis, even the aesthetics of the system - because this is going to be in place for a very long time - the company ethos is very much about the client relationship. Solar PV technology is proven to work and the ESB guidelines mean all systems are installed to that standard. Once those basic principles are applied then the rest is about good communication and transparency with clients. Greentricity do all the heavy lifting, engaging with ESB Networks as well as grant applications and that means the client can relax about it all.
