A98 housing stock

The Bray + Greystones
solar reality.

We've installed in Bray + Greystones (Wicklow) dozens of times. The bray seafront period stock dominant here has its own quirks — and our standard A98 install kit is built specifically for it.

Dominant housing type

Bray seafront period + Greystones 1990s-2010s + Kilmacanogue rural.

Built mostly 1880-1920 seafront + 1990-2020 estates. Estimated 51,200 residents across the routing key.

Roof reality

Natural slate (period) + concrete tile (estates) + standing-seam metal (new Greystones builds) dominates A98.

Average usable south-facing roof area: 50 m². Fits up to 25 panels at 2 m² each — but we typically size to 13 panels for the available area and household consumption.

Microclimate

East coast — moderate salt; sheltered by Bray Head; Wicklow Mountains rain shadow.

Solar irradiation (PVGIS data for Bray): 1020 kWh/m²/yr. A98 matches the all-Ireland irradiation average.

Our A98 approach

Bray seafront = stainless hardware. Greystones new-builds = many post-2020 not grant-eligible (flag at first contact).
