Reference configurations showing how commercial solar, storage, HVAC and charging come together on different site types. Filter by market to see the connection route and funding position that applies.
These are indicative reference configurations based on typical commercial installations, not named client case studies. Figures are modelled examples — your own site will differ.
Logistics & warehousing🇮🇪 Ireland
Distribution warehouse rooftop array
Leinster, Ireland · 250 kWp rooftop PV
Large single-span roof with steady daytime load from chillers, conveyors and lighting — a high self-consumption profile with limited export.
- · 560 W modules on a ballasted membrane-roof system
- · Three-phase string inverters with export limitation
- · Monitoring integrated with the site's energy platform
- ~78%
- generation used on site
- Banded
- SEAI Non-Domestic Microgen support applied
- NC7
- connection route with ESB Networks
Food production🇮🇪 Ireland
Food processing site with battery storage
Munster, Ireland · 180 kWp PV + 215 kWh BESS
Refrigeration-heavy load running past sunset. Storage shifts midday surplus into the evening shift and trims the site's peak demand charge.
- · Roof and canopy-mounted PV across two buildings
- · LFP cabinet storage with peak-shaving control
- · Fire strategy and separation distances agreed pre-order
- Evening
- load covered from stored generation
- Lower
- peak demand charge
- Separate
- payback modelled for the battery alone
Agriculture🇬🇧 UK & 🇮🇪 Ireland
Dairy farm solar and hot water load
Rural site, UK or Ireland · 90 kWp rooftop PV
Milking, vacuum pumps, plate cooling and water heating give an unusually good daytime match. Sheds provide clear, unshaded south-facing roof area.
- · Modules across two shed roofs
- · Diverter to the hot water cylinder for surplus
- · Sized to the milking schedule rather than the roof
- Twice daily
- load aligned to generation
- Surplus
- diverted to water heating before export
- Low
- shading and structural risk
Offices🇬🇧 UK & 🇮🇪 Ireland
Office HQ with VRF cooling and solar
Urban site, UK or Ireland · 120 kWp PV with VRF air conditioning
Cooling demand peaks with solar output, so nearly all generation is consumed on site during the months the array produces most.
- · Roof array plus VRF indoor and outdoor units supplied together
- · Controls tuned so cooling leans on generation
- · EV charging provision with dynamic load management
- Peak match
- cooling and generation coincide
- One supplier
- for PV, HVAC and charging
- Headroom
- kept for future EV charging
