D02 housing stock

The Dublin 2
solar reality.

We've installed in Dublin 2 (South City Centre) dozens of times. The period georgian stock dominant here has its own quirks — and our standard D02 install kit is built specifically for it.

Dominant housing type

Period Georgian + commercial conversions to apartments.

Built mostly 1780-1830 Georgian + post-2010 office-to-residential. Estimated 21,000 residents across the routing key.

Roof reality

Welsh slate (heritage) + zinc + standing-seam metal (new) dominates D02.

Average usable south-facing roof area: 18 m². Fits up to 9 panels at 2 m² each — but we typically size to 5 panels for the available area and household consumption.

Microclimate

Sheltered urban — Liffey side gets occasional gust loading; chimney shading common.

Solar irradiation (PVGIS data for Dublin): 1020 kWh/m²/yr. D02 matches the all-Ireland irradiation average.

Our D02 approach

High proportion of protected structures — we coordinate with Dublin City Council Conservation Officer before committing.
