We're the solar experts who give all our profits away in the form of free solar panels for charities and good causes. Solar is in our DNA, and we're on a mission to see solar panels installed on every roof in Ireland. We serve Dublin, Galway and all the counties in between.
PureVolt was founded to make a difference, not to make a profit. That's why we're giving away all of our 2024 profits to good causes in Ireland — in the form of free solar panels. More solar panels on rooftops means less carbon emissions (this is why we exist). And if the people and organisations under those roofs are doing good for their community, well that's even better!
We want to see Ireland go green by switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy. And we believe that the best way to make that happen is for solar companies like us to provide simple, clear information — warts and all.
For some people, the best option will be solar. For others, there might be better ways to reduce your carbon footprint. We expect our team to tell you honestly, either way. There are lots of solar companies in Ireland, but this is what we offer. Plain and simple information, and a promise that all the profits will go to putting more solar panels on the roofs of more charities and good causes in Ireland. Got questions? Please do get in touch...
Have a look — there's no sales team. We don't believe in the hard-sell. Instead, we trust that giving the best information in the clearest terms will make us the best option out there. These are our people and that's what makes us PureVolt Solar. We are currently recruiting. If you'd like to become part of the PureVolt Solar team, take a look at our current openings...
John started his career as a carpenter and roofer working along Ireland's west coast. With a passion for renewable energy, he was a perfect fit for PureVolt and, as soon as we heard about his skills and outlook, we asked him to join our Galway and West Ireland team as a senior roofer and panels installer.
After graduating from university, Lorcan started work in commercial construction. But he soon realised that his true passion lay in working with his hands on projects that benefit the wider community. That immediately singled him out as a perfect fit for PureVolt Solar, and we were delighted to bring him on board as an electrical apprentice.
With a background in accounting and finance, it was in the churn and change of Covid-19 that Luke discovered a hidden passion for construction and renewable energy. And it is this passion which continues to fuel him as he progresses through his apprenticeship as a valued member of the PureVolt team.
With 18 years' experience as an electrician, James first developed an interest in solar energy while working in Europe, where he saw firsthand the environmental and economic benefits of switching to renewables. Today, James is sharing his passion for clean energy in his role as senior electrician on our Galway & West Ireland team.
Despite his background in science and engineering, it was as an entrepreneur and angel investor that Phil found his passion. While switching to an electric car and solar PV electricity, he saw the appeal of a company that offers clear information in an open, honest and transparent way. That's when PureVolt Solar was born.
As head of installations, Daniel oversees the commissioning of all solar PV systems for PureVolt. His journey began as a service engineer for CHP gas engines in 2014, but his passion for renewables led him to become an electrician and enter the world of solar technology.
Although her background is in experimental physics, Eileen's true passion is centred around business, entrepreneurship, and social enterprises. As our general manager, she oversees everything to do with finance, HR, marketing and procurement.
It was from his native Chile that Gonzalo brought to Ireland his expertise in engineering and sustainable energy. If you submit an enquiry, it is Gonzalo who will propose your initial solar design. With a keen interest in the latest developments in solar tech, Gonzalo embodies our commitment to creating a greener Ireland.
Gary's carpentry skills took him as far as Canada and Australia before he returned to Ireland and repurposed his roofing skills as a solar panels installer. Today, Gary heads our installation teams both in the west and the east of Ireland.
If you go ahead with a detailed quote, it will probably be Ian who visits you. He will inspect your roof, your electrics and anything that could affect solar performance. You can expect Ian to be open, honest and transparent: if solar is not the best solution for you right now, it's Ian's job to say so.
With a background in his family's own roofing business, Nathan says a head for heights is in his DNA. But two other things are equally core to his being. The first is a passion for seeing Ireland go green. The second is dogs: if you have a friendly pooch, Nathan will be its friend for life by the time your installation is completed.
We want to see Ireland's homes and businesses switch to renewable energy sources. If that's with us, even better. We're long-term believers, not short-term speculators.
We exist to make it easier for people to make the switch to solar. We do this by giving simple, clear information and offering the level of service that we would expect ourselves. That's it.
PureVolt was founded to make a difference, not to make a profit. That's why all of our profits go to put free solar panels on the roofs of charities and good causes in Ireland. More solar panels means less cardon, and that's why we exist.
By buying and installing your solar panels with us, you will be eligible to apply for the SEAI Solar Electricity Grant. This provides up to €1,800 toward the cost of your solar PV installation.
There is a lot more to solar than just fixing some PV panels to your roof. We use specialist solar design software to get exactly the right solution for you and your home.
Your solar journey should be as smooth as possible. That's why we only work with SEAI registered solar panel installers. We don't have a sales team. Everyone who works for us is an experienced engineer who can speak to you in plain English.
When it comes to solar, there should be no repeat customers. That's because, when we install your system, it should last for a generation. Our solar panels come with a 25-year manufacturer's warranty as standard. Other parts and labour are also guaranteed. This is a long-term investment and if you need help, we're here for the long haul.
The safety and security of your home is very important to us. That's why we carry a minimum of €5 million of Public and Product Liability Insurance, as well as €500,000 of Professional Indemnity Insurance and €13.5 million of Employer's Liability Insurance.
Switching to solar electricity should make you feel good. And it's our job to make that happen. At PureVolt Solar, we don't have any professional salespeople. We just have experienced engineers who want to do a good job before, during and after your installation. No exceptions.
Our prices are simple and straightforward, so you will always know exactly what you're spending and exactly what you're getting. No hidden costs, no unpleasant surprises.
If you're looking for a flashy sales rep, we can't help you, sorry. With PureVolt Solar, you'll be dealing with skilled engineers who believe in solar and can answer your questions in plain English.
If your home isn't suitable for solar or battery storage, we'll say so. If we mess something up, we'll hold our hands up straight away and put things right. No matter the situation, you can expect us to be 100% upfront and honest. It's written into our core values.
We're a small team of self-confessed tech nerds, and we only work with the best technologies available. That goes for their value and their performance. In a fast-changing industry, we want you to have peace of mind that you're getting the very best products available. They're the only products we offer.
Based on your Eircode and a few other bits of information from you, we will send you a free initial quote and design proposal. Using satellite imagery of your house, we can generate a pretty accurate design including price, electricity production forecasts, what grant you might get and how long it will take for your PV system to pay for itself. All we need from you is this quick and easy form.
The next step is for one of our engineers to come and view your property. They will discuss everything with you in detail, and will inspect everything from your roof to your electrics. Based on this, we may make some improvements to your design to make sure it fits your exact needs.
Within a day or two, we will send you a full system design proposal along with a finalised quote. Your solar engineer will follow up to go through everything with you and answer any questions you may have.
