H91 housing stock

The Galway City
solar reality.

We've installed in Galway City (Salthill, Knocknacarra, Renmore) dozens of times. The salthill coastal terraces stock dominant here has its own quirks — and our standard H91 install kit is built specifically for it.

Dominant housing type

Salthill coastal terraces + Knocknacarra 1990s-2010s estates + Renmore 1960s-70s.

Built mostly 1960-2015 mixed. Estimated 84,500 residents across the routing key.

Roof reality

Concrete tile + natural slate (Salthill period homes) + tin (rural west) dominates H91.

Average usable south-facing roof area: 52 m². Fits up to 26 panels at 2 m² each — but we typically size to 13 panels for the available area and household consumption.

Microclimate

Atlantic coastal — Salthill faces direct Atlantic exposure; salt deposit high; wind class 4.

Solar irradiation (PVGIS data for Galway City): 1000 kWh/m²/yr. H91 matches the all-Ireland irradiation average.

Our H91 approach

Stainless mounting hardware standard. Wind-loading mandatory for Salthill seafront. Twice-yearly cleaning recommended for coastal homes.
