Dublin, 2nd September 2025 – greentech solar services Limited continues its successful growth in the Irish photovoltaic market. With the addition of two new solar farms in County Meath, the company is further strengthening its position as a independent service provider for operation and maintenance (O&M) in Ireland.

This year at Solar Ireland 2025, Greenvolt Next is bringing future-focused energy solutions directly to you. As leaders in solar and storage innovation, we’re excited to share how our projects are helping to accelerate Ireland’s renewable transformation.

Empowering Rooftop Solar for Every Home, School, Business, and Farm in Ireland

Solar Ireland welcomes today’s RESS 5 provisional results, which confirm over 860 MW of new solar projects have been awarded contracts – representing over 79% of all successful installed capacity.

In today’s Energy Transition report published with the Irish Independent and Mediaplanet, Solar Ireland CEO Ronan Power lays out a bold vision for the next phase of Ireland’s clean energy journey.

Ireland is on the cusp of a clean energy revolution. Solar power is growing faster than ever, delivering more than 1.7 GW of installed capacity by mid-2025 and meeting a record-breaking 21.1% of peak electricity demand in May. But for solar to truly thrive, we need more than panels and ambition. We need a grid that can keep up.

Ireland has set ambitious targets: 8 GW of installed solar capacity by 2030, with thousands of new homes, businesses, and solar farms coming online each year. The projects are there. Technology is there. The urgency is there. But one thing is missing: people to build it.

This month’s Irish Women in Solar feature highlights Fionnuala Carr, Director at MarVal Power, where she leads commercial solar projects that help businesses transition to renewable energy. With more than 15 years’ experience in the energy sector, Fionnuala’s career spans consultancy, project management, and now, delivering large-scale solar PV solutions across Ireland.

Rooftop solar is one of Ireland's most visible success stories. Over 140,000 homes are now generating clean, renewable electricity from their rooftops. Households are reducing their energy bills, contributing to climate targets, and building energy independence. But a quietly unfolding change to the Micro-generation Support Scheme (MSS) could put all of that progress at risk.

Our Budget 2026 submission outlines three essential asks that, together, can unlock clean energy, protect households, and secure Ireland’s compliance with its EU obligations.

What if solar panels could do more than generate clean electricity? In this blog series, we’ll explore how Agri-PV, when designed with nature in mind, can become a valuable tool for both climate action and rural resilience.

Our members are building generation for generations — delivering not just clean energy, but measurable environmental and social value. Power Capital’s 2025 ESG Impact Report showcases how Ireland’s solar sector is scaling responsibly, aligned with national climate goals, restoring biodiversity, and strengthening communities.
