D03 housing stock

The Dublin 3
solar reality.

We've installed in Dublin 3 (Clontarf, Marino, Fairview) dozens of times. The edwardian semi-detached stock dominant here has its own quirks — and our standard D03 install kit is built specifically for it.

Dominant housing type

Edwardian semi-detached + 1930s redbrick + seafront detached.

Built mostly 1900-1940 with 1950s-60s infill. Estimated 32,500 residents across the routing key.

Roof reality

Bangor Blue slate + concrete tile on infill homes dominates D03.

Average usable south-facing roof area: 45 m². Fits up to 23 panels at 2 m² each — but we typically size to 11 panels for the available area and household consumption.

Microclimate

Coastal — Clontarf promenade homes face significant salt deposit; needs cleaning every 18 months.

Solar irradiation (PVGIS data for Dublin): 1020 kWh/m²/yr. D03 matches the all-Ireland irradiation average.

Our D03 approach

We use stainless steel mounting hardware (vs galvanised) for coastal corrosion resistance. Bird mesh standard given Bull Island proximity.
