Agriculture
Agricultural energy, matched to your farm.
Agricultural solar across Ireland, planned around daytime electricity use, available roofs or land, the electrical supply and how the farm works.
Tell us about your project
Start with your building
Match the available space to when the farm uses electricity.
WRB designs commercial solar for businesses in the Republic of Ireland with one or more sites. We start with when you use electricity, what space is available and what you want the project to achieve.
Farm buildings may offer plenty of roof space, but the roof condition, electrical connection, cable routes and timing of electricity use decide what will work.
WRB checks these points together before recommending the number of panels or any battery storage.
What a good plan should help you do
- Compare likely solar output with the farm’s electricity use
- Check the roof, access and electrical supply
- Add a battery or future equipment only when it makes sense
What we need to know
You do not need every detail before getting in touch. Share what you know and we’ll tell you what matters next.
Start with when the site uses electricity
The yearly total on a bill does not tell the whole story. Meter readings taken every half hour show when your site uses electricity and how much solar power it may use directly. That helps us discuss system size, cost and likely value more clearly.
Spot practical issues early
Roof condition, structural information, access, fire safety, main electrical boards and planned shutdowns can all affect the work. Checking them early helps avoid redesign and delays later.
Plan around how your site works
The design and schedule need to fit the way your site works. WRB can help from the first site check through design, electrical connection, installation, testing and final instructions, with clear information for everyone approving the project.
Common questions
How do you check a commercial solar project?
We usually start with electricity readings taken every 30 minutes, recent bills, roof and structural information, the available electrical supply and anything that may affect work on the site.
What should I send for a first commercial review?
Electricity readings taken every 30 minutes, recent bills, roof or site drawings, structural information and details of planned building changes are all helpful. Send what you have. We can tell you what is still needed.
Can you install while our site stays open?
Often, yes. We need to understand access, planned shutdowns, safe working areas and the site schedule early so the work can be planned around your operations.

Installing solar in Ireland
Plan the paperwork with the system.
For grant-supported work, check the contractor’s relevant SEAI registration and wait for the grant offer before installation. Agree the applicable ESB Networks connection route, electrical certification and commissioning records in your proposal.
A domestic SEAI solar installation also needs a post-works BER before grant payment. Your handover should explain the equipment, controls and support arrangements.
