At Veep Energy, we are proud to support schools across Ireland in making the switch to renewable energy. One of our recent projects involved the successful installation of a 6.02kWp Smart Solar PV System at Bunscoil Synge School, helping Bunscoil Synge reduce its energy costs, lower its carbon footprint, and create a more sustainable future for students and staff.

This project highlights how solar energy can deliver long-term savings while providing schools with a valuable opportunity to promote environmental awareness and sustainability within their communities.

Bunscoil Synge exemplifies how solar energy can deliver long-term savings while providing schools with a valuable opportunity to promote environmental awareness and sustainability within their communities.

Bunscoil Synge understands the value of a smarter energy solution for schools.

A Smarter Energy Solution for Schools

Energy costs continue to rise, placing increased pressure on school budgets. Solar power provides a practical and cost-effective solution by allowing schools to generate their own electricity directly from sunlight.

For Bunscoil Synge School, Veep Energy designed and installed a high-performance solar PV system tailored to Bunscoil Synge’s energy requirements. The result is a modern renewable energy system capable of generating clean electricity throughout the year, helping to reduce reliance on grid electricity and lowering overall energy expenses.

What’s Included in the Installation?

The solar installation at Bunscoil Synage School consists of:

The solar installation at Bunscoil Synge School consists of cutting-edge technology designed to maximize energy efficiency for Bunscoil Synge.

14 Premium JA Solar Bi-Facial Solar Panels

The system features 14 high-efficiency JA Solar Tier 1 Glass-to-Glass Bi-Facial Solar Panels, each rated at 430Wp, with the ability to achieve up to 505Wp by capturing reflected sunlight on the rear side of the panel.

In simple terms, bi-facial panels can generate electricity from both the front and back surfaces, allowing them to produce more energy than standard solar panels in the right conditions.

Benefits include:

• Higher energy production
• Increased efficiency
• Enhanced durability thanks to glass-to-glass construction
• 30-year power output warranty
• 25-year product warranty

SolarEdge Inverter Technology

At the heart of the system is a SolarEdge Inverter, which converts the electricity generated by the solar panels into usable electricity for the school.

Think of the inverter as the “brain” of the solar system. It ensures the electricity produced by the panels can be used safely and efficiently throughout the building.

Included benefits:

• Industry-leading performance
• Intelligent energy management
• 12-year manufacturer’s warranty

SolarEdge Power Optimisers

Each panel is paired with a SolarEdge S440 Power Optimiser.

These devices work behind the scenes to ensure every panel performs at its maximum potential. If one panel experiences shading or reduced output, the rest of the system can continue performing efficiently.

Advantages include:

• Increased energy production
• Improved safety through built-in Arc Fault Protection
  

  

• Panel-level monitoring
• 25-year warranty

Import / Export Meter

The installation also includes a SolarEdge Import/Export Meter, allowing the school to track how much electricity is being generated, used, or exported back to the grid.

This provides valuable insight into energy consumption and system performance.

SolarFox Energy Display Screen

To help students, staff, and visitors see the benefits of renewable energy in real time, a 24-inch SolarFox TV Display was installed.

This interactive display shows:

• Live solar energy generation
• Environmental savings
• System performance statistics

The display serves as an excellent educational tool, helping students better understand renewable energy and sustainability.

Safety Comes First

At Veep Energy, safety is a top priority in every installation.

The Bunscoil Synge School system includes a 4-Pole Fireman Switch, allowing emergency responders to safely isolate the solar installation if ever required.

Combined with high-quality electrical components, fuses, and protection systems, the installation meets all relevant safety standards.

Real-Time Monitoring for Life

The school also benefits from a Wi-Fi monitoring system and free online monitoring portal for life.

This allows authorised personnel to:

• Monitor system performance remotely
• Track energy generation in real time
• Identify potential issues quickly
• View historical performance data

Having access to real-time information ensures the solar system continues operating at peak performance year after year.

Fully Certified Installation

Every aspect of the Bunscoil Synge School project was managed by Veep Energy’s in-house engineers, including:

• Solar PV system design
• Professional installation
• Testing and commissioning
• RECI certification
• Grid connection approval
• Department of Education compliance documentation

Our experienced team ensures every project is completed to the highest standards while meeting all regulatory and educational requirements.

Bunscoil Synge’s project management ensures that every aspect meets the highest standards while fulfilling all educational requirements.

Added Peace of Mind

When schools invest in solar energy, long-term reliability is essential.

That’s why Veep Energy provides:

• 5-Year Labour Warranty
• 5-Year Comprehensive Parts Service Warranty
• Comprehensive manufacturer warranties on all major equipment

In addition, the proposal includes WEEE recycling charges, ensuring responsible disposal and recycling of electrical components in line with environmental regulations.

The Environmental Impact

By installing a 6.02kWp solar PV system, Bunscoil Synage School is taking a significant step toward reducing its carbon emissions and supporting Ireland’s transition to cleaner energy.

Bunscoil Synge’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its investment in a solar PV system that benefits both the school and the environment.

Every unit of solar electricity generated helps decrease dependence on fossil fuels while creating a greener learning environment for current and future generations.
