What Prosolar does

ProSolar is an engineer-led solar photovoltaic (PV) installation company headquartered in Kenmare, County Kerry, Ireland, and operating as the solar arm of the RVR Energy Technology Group, a family-owned group with over 40 years in energy technology. The company designs, supplies, and installs bespoke solar PV systems with battery storage, ground-mount solutions, EV chargers, and hot water diverters for four primary customer segments: residential homeowners, commercial businesses, agricultural farms, and schools/community organisations across Ireland, with residential concentration in Munster (Kerry, Cork, West Cork, Limerick) and nationwide reach for commercial and agricultural projects. ProSolar holds proprietary methods including a ground-screw ground mount solution (avoiding concrete bases), a pre-assembled plant room technique enabling rapid commercial installs, and integration with the Gridvolt smart energy management platform from its sister company.

The company's go-to-market is a direct, consultative sales model combining inbound website/phone quote requests, outbound community presence at agricultural shows and county fairs, a €200 SuperValu voucher refer-a-friend programme, and editorial authority via the Irish Farmers Journal and Agriland. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time installation fees (quote-based, no public price list), with supplementary commission from Humm financing referrals and ancillary add-on product sales (battery storage, EV chargers). ProSolar is a SEAI Fully Registered Solar PV Installer and Safe Electric certified, handling the full grant application process (SEAI residential up to €1,800, SEAI non-domestic up to €162,600, TAMS 3 up to 60%) and ESB Networks grid connection paperwork on behalf of customers as a key friction-reducing service. The company has completed 1,000+ installations including 750+ in Kerry alone and 200+ farm installations, serving marquee customers such as Casey's Furniture, Sun Life Ireland, Fota Wildlife Park, Fingal County Council, Kenmare Bay Hotel, and Mercy Hospital.
