Veep Energy Completes 18kWp Commercial Solar Installation
Agricultural Solar PV Installation Helps Cut Rising Energy Costs
As energy costs continue to rise, more Irish businesses are turning to solar power to reduce operating expenses, improve sustainability, and future-proof their properties. At Veep Energy, we recently completed a commercial solar PV installation on a modern agricultural facility, delivering a reliable and high-performance renewable energy solution designed to generate clean electricity for decades to come.
By investing in agricultural solar solutions, businesses can ensure they stay competitive and environmentally responsible.
A Smart Investment for Long-Term Energy Savings
Many agricultural businesses are leveraging solar energy to enhance their operational efficiency.
This commercial project involved the installation of 45 premium glass-to-glass solar panels, each rated at 400Wp or higher, providing a total installed capacity of approximately 18kWp.
The solar array was carefully designed to maximise energy production while complementing the existing roof structure. As seen throughout the installation process, our in-house engineering team completed every stage of the project, from mounting system installation and panel placement to commissioning and grid connection.
The completed system will help the property reduce reliance on imported electricity, lower energy costs, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
This agricultural installation will also promote energy independence and sustainability.
Premium Equipment for Maximum Performance
Investing in agricultural technology like solar power can lead to significant cost savings.
For this installation, Veep Energy supplied and installed:
- 45 x DENIM Glass-to-Glass Monocrystalline Solar PV Modules (400Wp+)
- 1 x SolarEdge Inverter
- 45 x SolarEdge S440 Smart Power Optimisers
- SolarEdge Import/Export Meter
- 4-Pole Fireman Safety Switch
- Full Installation, Grid Commissioning and RECI Certification
- Wi-Fi Monitoring Kit with Lifetime Monitoring Portal Access
The DENIM glass-to-glass solar modules are among the most durable solar panels available on the market. Their advanced construction provides exceptional resistance to environmental conditions while offering up to 35 years of performance warranty and industry-leading product protection.
Combined with SolarEdge’s intelligent power optimisation technology, the system delivers enhanced energy yield by allowing each panel to operate independently, ensuring maximum performance even if some panels experience shading or varying conditions.
Safety at the Core of Every Installation
Safety is one of the key reasons Veep Energy chooses SolarEdge technology for commercial installations.
This system includes several advanced safety features:
SafeDC™ Technology
Unlike conventional solar systems, SolarEdge SafeDC technology automatically reduces DC voltage to approximately 1 volt per panelwhenever the system is shut down, significantly improving safety during maintenance, emergencies, or power outages.
Integrated Arc Fault Protection
The SolarEdge S-Series optimisers feature built-in Arc Fault Detection and Protection. This technology continuously monitors the system and automatically responds to potential electrical faults before they develop into more serious issues.
Temperature Monitoring
Each optimiser contains integrated thermal sensors that monitor operating conditions and help prevent potential system damage by shutting down the affected section if abnormal temperatures are detected.
Comprehensive Electrical Protection
Additional protections include:
- AC surge protection
- Overcurrent protection
- Automatic DC fireman switch functionality
- Advanced system monitoring and fault detection
These features provide peace of mind for business owners while ensuring compliance with modern solar safety standards.
Real-Time Monitoring and Smart Energy Management
The installation also includes a SolarEdge Import/Export Meter and cloud-based monitoring platform, giving the customer complete visibility of system performance.
Using the monitoring portal, the business can:
- Track electricity generation in real time
- Monitor self-consumption and grid exports
- Identify any system alerts instantly
- Analyse long-term energy savings
The system has also been designed to be future-ready, supporting smart grid functionality, export capability, and potential future battery storage integration.
