Public sector
Public buildings, clear plans and figures.
Clear solar and electrical planning for public buildings in Ireland, including approvals, access, day-to-day services and final records.
Tell us about your project
Start with your building
Make the plan clear to everyone involved.
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.
Public-sector projects need to balance technical needs, approvals, access and keeping services running. We discuss these practical points from the start.
WRB has worked on education and healthcare projects, but every new building is checked on its own electricity use, structure, electrical system and working conditions.
What a good plan should help you do
- Give decision-makers clear reasons for each choice
- Plan work around buildings that remain in use
- Connect solar safely to the existing electrical system
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.
