Solar PV

Solarco Install 600 panel (300kW) Solar System at a Fish Factory in Co. Donegal

Solarco continues to help Ireland’s largest commercial energy users decarbonise and take control of their energy costs. Our commercial solar project at Norfish Ltd in Killybegs delivers major financial and environmental benefits, with 600 solar panels (300 kW) now powering their operations. The system generates 285,000 kWh per year, reducing their annual electricity bill by up to €85,500 (at current unit cost).

Who are Norfish?

Norfish Ltd., founded in 1974, is a family-owned fish processing and exporting company specialising in smoked fish. With decades of continued investment in their processing facilities, Norfish sought a long-term solution to rising energy costs and carbon reduction targets. Installing a 300-kW rooftop solar PV system was a strategic step to improve sustainability and operational efficiency.

 

The Process

Norfish contacted Solarco directly, and our team managed the full project from start to finish:

  • Comprehensive site surveys
  • Detailed energy-savings calculations
  • System design tailored to Norfish’s energy profile
  • Completion of grant and ESB applications

 

From initial consultation to project commissioning, the full process took approximately 12 weeks. With equipment warranty of up to 30 years and ongoing service & maintenance packages, Solarco help customers to maximise long-term system performance.
