P25 housing stock

The West Cork
solar reality.

We've installed in West Cork (Bandon, Clonakilty, Skibbereen) dozens of times. The town centre period terraces stock dominant here has its own quirks — and our standard P25 install kit is built specifically for it.

Dominant housing type

Town centre period terraces + rural detached + recent infill estates.

Built mostly Pre-1900 town centre + 1990-2020 estates. Estimated 28,400 residents across the routing key.

Roof reality

Natural slate (period) + concrete tile (modern) + tin/profile metal (rural barns) dominates P25.

Average usable south-facing roof area: 64 m². Fits up to 32 panels at 2 m² each — but we typically size to 15 panels for the available area and household consumption.

Microclimate

Atlantic coastal — high rainfall (1,400mm/yr) but Wexford-comparable irradiation; strong wind exposure (wind class 3-4).

Solar irradiation (PVGIS data for Cork City): 1050 kWh/m²/yr. P25 sits in Ireland's top quartile for solar yield.

Our P25 approach

Wind-loading calc mandatory; stainless mounting hardware standard; rural farms qualify for TAMS 3 60% grant on top of SEAI.

What's different about P25

  • Roof: Natural slate (period) dominant — we have specific hardware for it
  • Microclimate: Atlantic coastal — high rainfall (1,400mm/yr) but Wexford-comparable irradiation
  • Build era: Pre-1900 town centre stock = often protected, requires conservation coordination
  • System sweet spot: 6 kWp based on local roof area + consumption mix
  • Local approach: Wind-loading calc mandatory; stainless mounting hardware standard; rural farms qualify for TAMS 3 60% grant on top of SEAI.
