Purevolt Solar

What Purevolt Solar does

PureVolt Solar is an Irish private solar PV installation company that designs, supplies, and installs photovoltaic systems for residential, commercial, small business, and agricultural customers across Ireland. The company operates from a registered office in Cork with operational bases in Dublin and Galway, and serves customers across at least seven Irish counties (Dublin, Galway, Clare, Limerick, Meath, Wicklow, Kildare). Its core product is end-to-end solar PV installation, with a modular product portfolio that includes lithium-ion battery storage, hybrid inverters, EV chargers, roof mounting equipment, hot water immersion diverters, and a dedicated solar inspection and maintenance service. The company also publishes a suite of online solar calculators (ballpark pricing, savings, SEAI grant, battery, EV charging, roof angle and orientation) that support customer self-qualification and lead generation.

The company's distinctive business model is that all profits are donated to Irish charities and good causes through its "Free Solar for Good Causes" scheme, positioning PureVolt as a social enterprise rather than a purely profit-driven installer. It operates without a traditional sales team: experienced solar engineers handle consultations, perform remote preliminary designs based on satellite imagery and Eircode, and conduct in-person site surveys before quoting. Pricing is project-based and quote-driven, with transparent "no hidden costs" messaging, and PureVolt assists customers with SEAI grant applications (up to €1,800 per domestic installation) and leverages the 0% VAT rate on domestic solar supply and installation. The go-to-market motion is content-led and consultant-driven, relying on the website, SEO, Google reviews (4.9/5.0 from 106 reviews spanning November 2022 to May 2026), and dedicated location pages to convert top-of-funnel interest into engineer-led quote opportunities. Reported notable customers include Charles McEvoy, Fiona Gavin, Paul Doyle, James & Elaine Morrissey, and John Kilroy, all residential cases. The company works with sister company SquareFish on Eco Hub educational content and integrates with ESB Networks smart meters for export-to-grid measurement.

Core offering

Purevolt Solar designs, supplies, and installs solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for Irish homeowners, businesses, small commercial sites, and farms. The company provides complete solar panel installations with hybrid inverters, optional lithium-ion battery storage, EV chargers, and hot water immersion diverters, along with SEAI grant assistance and post-installation maintenance services. All profits are donated to Irish charities through the Free Solar for Good Causes programme.

Product overview

PureVolt Solar is a solar panel installation company operating exclusively in Ireland, offering a single integrated service focused on solar PV system installation rather than a software product or platform. The core offering consists of residential (domestic), commercial, small business, and farm/agricultural solar panel installation services. The product portfolio is structured as the core installation service with multiple add-on components and supplementary tools: solar storage batteries (lithium-ion systems), solar inverters, EV chargers, roof mounting equipment, and hot water immersion diverters (Eddi). Additional services include PV inspection and maintenance, a suite of online solar calculators (for cost estimation, grants, battery savings, EV charging, and roof orientation), and the company's unique 'Free Solar for Good Causes' charitable initiative. The company is SEAI-registered and utilises specialist solar design software for system sizing. All profits are donated to charity, differentiating PureVolt as a social enterprise rather than a traditional commercial solar installer.

Broad incumbents

• SunPower Corporation: Global residential solar and energy services provider with high-efficiency panels and integrated battery/EV solutions. Compares on the residential PV installation model, though at vastly larger scale and with broader geographic reach.
• Sunrun: Largest US residential solar, battery, and energy services company with a subscription-style offering. Comparable to PureVolt's residential rooftop model though focused on the US market and using third-party ownership financing.
• Lightsource bp: One of the world's largest solar developers with operations in Ireland and across Europe. Overlaps with PureVolt in the Irish solar market at utility and commercial scale rather than residential rooftop.
• EDF Renewables: Global renewable energy developer with on-site solar and storage offerings for commercial and industrial customers. Overlaps with PureVolt's commercial and agricultural solar segments at larger scale.
• Tesla Energy: Solar Roof, Powerwall, and EV charging installations bundled with Tesla vehicles. Comparable in selling an integrated solar + battery + EV proposition to homeowners, though at far larger scale and global footprint.
• Engie Home Services: Global energy utility with an Irish residential solar and home services division. Competes on renewable installations and broader energy services for households, with similar bundling of solar, battery, and EV charging.
• SSE Renewables: UK and Ireland-headquartered utility with utility-scale renewables and a growing residential solar/heat pump offering. Comparable as a major Ireland-based energy player adjacent to PureVolt's addressable market.

Direct peers

• Solar Electric Ireland: Well-established Irish solar installation company serving domestic and commercial customers with PV panels, inverters, and EV chargers. Directly comparable in product mix, customer segments, and Ireland-only service area.
• Activ8 Solar Energies: Irish solar PV installer offering residential, commercial, and agricultural solar plus battery storage across Ireland. Direct competitor with overlapping product portfolio, SEAI-registered status, and similar geographic coverage to PureVolt.

Emerging players

• Octopus Energy: UK-headquartered clean energy retailer with a growing solar and heat pump installation arm (Octopus Energy Services). Comparable as a newer, customer-experience-led entrant into the residential solar installation market adjacent to PureVolt's geography.
