F91 housing stock

The Sligo town
solar reality.

We've installed in Sligo town dozens of times. The sligo town centre period stock dominant here has its own quirks — and our standard F91 install kit is built specifically for it.

Dominant housing type

Sligo town centre period + Strandhill coastal + Cleveragh + Ballisodare rural.

Built mostly Pre-1900 town + 1990-2015 estates. Estimated 21,500 residents across the routing key.

Roof reality

Natural slate + concrete tile + tin (rural) dominates F91.

Average usable south-facing roof area: 56 m². Fits up to 28 panels at 2 m² each — but we typically size to 13 panels for the available area and household consumption.

Microclimate

Atlantic coastal but sheltered by Ben Bulben; salt minimal except Strandhill.

Solar irradiation (PVGIS data for Sligo): 970 kWh/m²/yr. F91 is below average but well within viability range.

Our F91 approach

Mostly inland stock — standard galvanised mounting OK. Strandhill seafront = stainless. Bird mesh standard given coastal location.
