Commercial Solar PV For Healthcare Facilities in Ireland
Irish healthcare facilities run around the clock, and energy costs keep climbing. Resolute Group designs and installs solar PV systems for hospitals, clinics, health centres and care homes across Ireland, cutting your facility’s energy bills and securing long-term supply. SEAI-certified, 15+ years in business, and backed by Ireland’s longest maintenance contract.
Cut Your Installation Cost with
Grants and Tax Relief
Irish healthcare facilities can access SEAI grant funding and Accelerated Capital Allowance tax relief on qualifying solar PV equipment. Facilities that produce surplus energy can also earn from it through the Clean Export Guarantee. Resolute manages the full application process end-to-end.
SEAI Non-Domestic Microgen
Up to €162,600 in grant funding per site under the SEAI scheme for commercial and public sector solar installations. Available to hospitals, clinics, health centres and care homes.
Accelerated Capital Allowance
Claim 100% of qualifying solar PV equipment cost as a Year-1 tax deduction. Stackable with the SEAI grant.
Solar That Matches Healthcare Energy Use
Healthcare facilities are among the highest energy consumers in the public sector. Lighting, heating, ventilation, cooling and medical equipment run around the clock in hospitals and care homes, while clinics and health centres draw concentrated daytime energy during operating hours. Solar PV generates clean electricity on-site, reducing grid dependence and locking in predictable energy costs for 25 years or more.
Reduced Energy Costs
Generate electricity on-site and offset a significant portion of your facility's grid consumption over 25+ years. Irish business electricity prices remain well above the EU average, making self-generation a strong long-term hedge.
Energy Resilience and Backup
Pair solar with battery storage for a reliable secondary power source that supports critical equipment during grid outages and at peak load periods, alongside your existing backup arrangements.
Redirect Savings to Patient Care
Every euro saved on electricity is a euro that can be reinvested into frontline services, medical equipment, staffing or facility upgrades.
Meet Climate Action Plan Targets
Ireland's Climate Action Plan requires public sector bodies to cut emissions by 51% by 2030. A monitored solar PV system is visible, measurable progress against those commitments, with audited generation data for reporting.
Bifacial Panels Built for Healthcare Facilities
Resolute installs bifacial (glass-on-glass) panels exclusively, sourced from AE Solar and Longi. They generate from both faces, capturing reflected light from roof surfaces and surrounding hard standing, for a higher annual yield per kWp than conventional panels.
Bifacial construction also carries a superior fire-performance rating compared with standard glass-and-backsheet panels, particularly important in regulated healthcare environments where building compliance is non-negotiable. Hospitals typically need large-scale rooftop or carport systems, GP surgeries and clinics suit smaller rooftop systems, and care homes benefit from solar plus battery storage to reduce overnight grid dependence.
Ireland's Leading Solar Engineers
Fifteen years installing across Ireland and Northern Ireland, SEAI-certified, with delivered healthcare projects including Donegal Community Hospital, Dungloe Community Hospital, St. Joseph’s Hospital Donegal and Sugarloaf Nursing Home in County Wicklow, alongside commercial installs for Meta, Primark and Domino’s.
25-Year Maintenance Contract
Every Resolute system comes with the option of a 25-year maintenance contract covering scheduled visits, performance monitoring, inverter checks and component replacement for the full panel guarantee period.

Custom Solutions for Sensitive Sites
Sugarloaf Nursing Home, Co. Wicklow
Resolute designed and installed a solar PV system at Sugarloaf Nursing Home, engineered around the round-the-clock energy demands of a working care facility. Heating, lighting and medical equipment run continuously, and the system was sized to reduce overnight grid dependence while keeping energy costs predictable for the long term. Installation was scheduled around resident care to avoid any disruption.
Typical Healthcare Solar Returns
Figures below are modelled for a typical 100 kWp healthcare installation using Irish commercial yield ranges (850 to 950 kWh per kWp per year) and the 2024 average business electricity rate of €0.23 per kWh. Hospitals typically install larger systems, clinics and care homes smaller. Actual performance varies with facility type, load profile and grant funding.
100 kWp Healthcare Facility
Modelled figures, mid-size facility
| Installed capacity | 100 kWp (indicative) |
| Annual generation | 85,000 to 95,000 kWh |
| Annual electricity savings | €19,550 to €21,850 |
| CO2 offset per year | 25 to 28 tonnes |
| Payback period | 4 to 6 years (post-grant) |

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Our SEAI-certified installers schedule all work to avoid any impact on clinical operations or resident care. Tie-ins and heavy work are completed outside of operating hours, and we coordinate every phase with your facilities team.
The SEAI Non-Domestic Microgen Grant offers up to €162,600 per site for commercial and public sector installations. The Accelerated Capital Allowance provides a full Year-1 tax write-off on qualifying equipment, and the Clean Export Guarantee pays for surplus electricity returned to the grid. Resolute handles the full application process for you.
Timeline depends on system size, roof complexity and the facility’s operational requirements. Most commercial installations are completed within a few weeks of site work, with the full project from first survey to commissioning typically taking 8 to 14 weeks once grant processing and ESB connection paperwork are factored in.
System size depends on your energy consumption, available roof space and budget. Hospitals typically need large-scale rooftop or carport systems, clinics and health centres suit smaller rooftop installs, and care homes benefit from solar paired with battery storage. We determine the right specification during the site survey.
Savings depend on system size, energy usage and grant eligibility. A 100 kWp system on an Irish healthcare facility typically generates 85,000 to 95,000 kWh per year, equivalent to €19,550 to €21,850 in annual electricity savings at 2024 rates. We provide a detailed projection after assessing your facility.
They provide a strong secondary layer. Battery storage keeps supported circuits running during grid outages and reduces peak-rate imports, working alongside your statutory backup generation rather than replacing it. We design the supported-load list with your facilities team at the specification stage.
Scheduled maintenance visits, real-time performance monitoring, inverter health checks, component replacement and full support for the entire 25-year panel guarantee period.
