D06 housing stock

The Dublin 6
solar reality.

We've installed in Dublin 6 (Rathmines, Rathgar, Harold's Cross) dozens of times. The victorian/edwardian redbrick terraces stock dominant here has its own quirks — and our standard D06 install kit is built specifically for it.

Dominant housing type

Victorian/Edwardian redbrick terraces + Edwardian semis on Palmerston/Rathgar Rd.

Built mostly 1860-1915. Estimated 33,500 residents across the routing key.

Roof reality

Welsh slate (original) + concrete tile (replacements post-1970) dominates D06.

Average usable south-facing roof area: 32 m². Fits up to 16 panels at 2 m² each — but we typically size to 9 panels for the available area and household consumption.

Microclimate

Sheltered inland; many mature gardens cause 25% of homes to need optimisers.

Solar irradiation (PVGIS data for Dublin): 1020 kWh/m²/yr. D06 matches the all-Ireland irradiation average.

Our D06 approach

Terraced housing means many south-facing rear gardens with chimney shading. We use Tigo or SolarEdge optimisers on 40% of D06 installs.
