Why commercial solar
A clear investment for Irish business
With commercial electricity prices high and carbon tax climbing, generating your own power has become one of the clearest investments a business can make. The biggest win is self-consumption: businesses that use most of their electricity during working hours get the fastest payback, because daytime demand lines up with peak solar generation. The result is lower running costs and far stronger security of supply.
Who it's for
Built for every kind of business
From a single retail unit to a working farm, EGR design commercial solar around how your premises actually uses energy.
Offices
Lower overheads on the lighting, heating and equipment that run all day.
Retail units
Cut the running costs of a unit that's open and lit through daylight hours.
Warehouses & logistics
Big roofs and steady daytime demand make for strong self-consumption.
Manufacturing
Offset heavy daytime electricity loads and stabilise your energy costs.
Farms
Power sheds, milking and grain drying — farms have their own grants, so see our Agricultural page.
Schools & colleges
Daytime generation matches term-time demand, freeing up budget.
Community centres
Keep community facilities affordable to run, right through the year.

Commercial questions
Commercial solar FAQs
Grants, ownership and savings for business solar.
Is there a grant for commercial solar?
Yes — commercial solar qualifies for the SEAI Non-Domestic Microgen Grant (NDMG), and we handle the full application for you, start to finish.
What is the accelerated capital allowance?
It’s a tax incentive that can let eligible businesses write off the cost of qualifying energy-efficient equipment against profits more quickly. It’s worth confirming the current details with your accountant.
Do we own the system?
Yes — you own your solar system outright. It’s a permanent asset for your business, not a rental.
Can a business spread the cost?
Yes — alongside grant support, there’s an SBCI-backed option to help businesses spread the cost of energy upgrades. We’ll talk you through what’s available.
How much can a business save?
It depends on your roof, your energy use and how much power you use during the day — we work out your specific figures in a free assessment.
Who manages the project?
EGR manage the project end to end — design, install by our certified team, and the full grant application — the same done-for-you approach as our residential work.
