Supporting Ireland’s energy transition and a sustainable future through solar
Solar Ireland (formerly the Irish Solar Energy Association) is the trusted voice of Ireland’s solar industry. We represent the sector through policy engagement, collaboration, and education—working to maximise the role of solar in delivering a decarbonised, equitable, and secure energy system.
We support members across the solar value chain—from utility-scale developers and rooftop installers to supply chain partners, investors, and advisors. Together, we are helping shape a solar-powered Ireland that works for communities, businesses, and future generations.
Our Story
Established in 2013, Solar Ireland was created to advocate for a strong policy and regulatory framework that would unlock the full potential of solar energy in Ireland. Over the past decade, we have championed solar as a key enabler of climate targets and worked alongside government, regulators, and industry to remove barriers to deployment and investment. Today, we continue to provide a platform for collaboration and leadership—ensuring solar plays an integral role in Ireland’s energy transition.
Our Mission
Through engagement, education, and encouraging best practice, we represent the solar industry to maximise Ireland’s solar generation and accelerate its journey to a net-zero future.
We collaborate across the energy ecosystem—supporting the deployment of utility-scale and rooftop solar, advocating for cost-reducing policy measures, and promoting solar as a resilient, scalable solution for Ireland’s electricity needs.
Our Vision
We support a decarbonised, equitable, and sustainable energy future in Ireland.
Solar Ireland envisions a future where solar is a core pillar of the national electricity system—helping reduce emissions, strengthen energy security, and lower costs for consumers.
