The award-winning Activ8 Solar Energies is one of the most renowned leaders in the Irish solar power industry

As uncertainty over energy costs continues to be a pressing issue, more Irish homeowners are turning to solar power as a smart, long-term solution. With government grants available up to €1,800 and major advances in technology in recent years, solar PV panels are more accessible and affordable than ever before.

Activ8 Solar Energies, based in Carrickmacross, have been leading the way on solar in Ireland since 2007, long before the Irish general public were ready to jump on board the “solar coaster” which is sweeping across the nation currently. They have installed solar on over 22,000 homes and businesses across Ireland and boast the most SEAI grant approved solar PV installs in Ireland for the last six years running.placeholder image
