ProSolar installs solar PV for homes, farms and businesses throughout Co. Limerick, from the city and its suburbs to Newcastle West, Kilmallock and Adare, backed by well over a thousand installations across Munster. Our crews are in Limerick regularly, and every system is surveyed, installed and commissioned by ProSolar staff rather than subcontractors.

Recent work in Co. Limerick
Limerick’s large flat commercial roofs and its dairy country to the south are two of the best places in Ireland to put solar. Some of what we have delivered in the county:
- Casey’s Furniture, Raheen. 264 panels and 126.72 kWp across three flat roofs on the edge of Limerick City, mounted east-west on a ballasted K2 system with no fixings through the roof. We secured a €27,944 SEAI grant and the ESB Networks export licence, and the system generates about 105,000 units a year, with an expected payback of around four and a half years. Read the full case study.
- Dairy farms around Kilmallock and Bruff. Several farm systems in south Limerick, sized to morning and evening milking and to bulk-tank cooling, and funded through the SEAI Non-Domestic grant or TAMS 3. Our farm solar page explains how we design around those loads.
- Homes across the county. From Castletroy and Raheen to Newcastle West, on the standard SEAI grant, many with a battery to carry daytime solar into the evening.
Why Limerick roofs suit solar
Two things make Limerick a strong county for solar. The retail and industrial parks around Raheen, Castletroy, Ballysimon and the Dock Road carry large, flat, unshaded roofs over businesses that use most of their electricity between nine and six, which is when the panels produce. And the Golden Vale dairy country to the south runs milking, cooling and water-pumping loads every day of the year, so a farm system there is used rather than exported. In both cases the SEAI Non-Domestic grant is the same national scheme, with no county quota and no ranking.
Where we install in Co. Limerick
We cover the whole county. Limerick City and its suburbs, Castletroy, Raheen, Dooradoyle and Annacotty, make up much of our work, along with Castleconnell and Caherconlish to the east. To the west we install in Newcastle West, Abbeyfeale, Rathkeale and Askeaton, and to the south in Adare, Croom, Kilmallock and Bruff. Below are some of the towns where we have already installed:
Grants for Limerick homes, farms and businesses
A Limerick home qualifies for the SEAI solar grant of up to €1,800 in 2026, and solar equipment carries 0% VAT. Businesses and farms can claim the SEAI Non-Domestic Microgen Grant, which has doubled, to a maximum of €325,200, for applications made by 6 July 2027 and has no ranking or waiting list (what the doubled grant means); farmers who qualify can apply for TAMS 3 at 60% instead. We are a registered installer for all of these schemes and handle the applications, including the ESB Networks connection paperwork, as part of the job. See our home solar, commercial and farm grant pages for the detail.
Common questions from Co. Limerick
You are based in Kerry. Do you really cover Limerick?
Yes. Limerick City is about an hour and a half from our base, and our crews are in the county regularly for homes, farms and commercial sites. Distance does not change the price of a system, and the survey, installation and commissioning are all done by our own staff.
How long does an installation take?
Most home systems take a single day on site. Casey’s Furniture, at 264 panels, was installed over a matter of days with the main electrical components pre-assembled in our warehouse. The lead time before installation is set by the grant paperwork and the ESB Networks connection, both of which we handle, and we give you a realistic timetable when we quote.
Can you handle the ESB Networks paperwork for a Limerick business?
Yes. We prepare and submit the NC6, NC7 or NC8 connection application depending on system size, and we secure the export arrangement so that surplus electricity earns a credit on the bill rather than being wasted.
The Sky’s The Limit
How much could you save with solar?
Solar panels convert light energy from the sun into electrical energy. This energy is used in your home to power your appliances and, in some cases, heat your water. Domestic solar is becoming more and more popular in Ireland thanks to generous grants, favourable feed-in tariffs, and the plummeting cost of solar PV technology. A home solar installation can reduce your electricity bills by up to 70%.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Ireland get enough sun for my solar panels to be efficient?
The short answer is yes! While Ireland does have a fair amount of rain, solar PV systems generate electricity in daylight and still function effectively on overcast days. Prosolar will ensure your solar PV is properly located. A 6-panel system could generate up to 1750kWh of electricity per year.
What is the cost of installing solar PV?
Solar PV has never been more affordable. The cost of your solar installation will depend on the size and the number of people in your home and the structure and type of roof you have. Check out our Solar PV quote form on our website to give you a better idea!
Do I need planning permission for solar panels?
You can install up to 12 sq m of solar PV panels without planning permission. That is approx. 6-7 panels.
Will I qualify for the SEAI Grant?
The SEAI is offering a solar grant of up to €1,800 for installing Solar PV systems. The grant is available to all owners of dwellings built and occupied before 2021 and where the SEAI has not previously provided support for solar PV systems at that address. After the installation, the homeowner must arrange a BER certificate to meet the conditions of the grant. Learn more about SEAI grants.
Do I need to service and maintain my solar system?
We recommend getting someone to look at your solar once a year to ensure it works optimally.
Why is solar good for the environment?
Each solar panel installed can save up to 100kg of CO2 annually. This reduces our emissions from using electricity and makes a big difference to the environment. It also “offsets” the carbon from activities such as air travel.
