How EnergyServ Can Help Bring Your Community Together with a Solar Meitheal Project

Are you part of a Sustainable Energy Community (SEC) looking to take action on climate and energy? EnergyServ can help your community unite through a Solar Meitheal project, providing the support and expertise needed to make a real impact.

What is a Solar Meitheal?

A “Meitheal” is an Irish tradition where neighbors come together to help each other with big tasks, fostering a sense of community. In today’s Ireland, this spirit of cooperation is thriving in sustainability projects like Solar Meitheal. It involves homeowners working together to install Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels in their local area, offering benefits like:

Group purchasing power for more competitive quotes.
Streamlined installation that saves time and hassle.

How EnergyServ Can Support Your SEC

Providing professional guidance and installation services for solar PV systems.
Assisting in securing SEAI grants and navigating application processes.
Offering bulk purchasing options to reduce costs for homeowners.

With EnergyServ’s help, your SEC can not only reduce carbon emissions but also lower energy costs while creating a sustainable energy future for your community.

Would definitely recommend Energyserv to others. I chose them after a recommendation from a relative & am glad I did. They were quick, the install lads were very tidy, no major holes or mess anywhere, they left the place spotless. Very happy with the system they installed & the technical support on the phone was very good, they explained everything to me.

Energyserv installed our 18 panel solar system and battery storage for us this year. I really couldn’t rate them highly enough. They explained everything beforehand, the install was flawless, so tidy and only took a couple of days. All the staff we dealt with were so helpful and of course the price was very competitive. When we needed help with the inverter settings a month later they took care of it remotely. I would recommend Energyserv to anyone looking for a pv system

Excellent installation, everything first class, technicians on top of everything from the start. We have been bill free for 2 years now, the battery is key to this and managing when to use electricity produced. We are really pleased and recommend EneryServ to anyone

Energyserv installed our impressiveCarport with 12 Solar Panels and also 6 more on the roof at the front of our house this was just over 3 months ago in May.The team who fitted the carport and panels were very professional and knowledgeable.Any questions or concerns we had were followed up and dealt with which is always reassuring before and after installation.We were instructed on how to use thesystem seamlessly, we have the operation manuals which are easy to follow.All our paperwork was completed with out delay, we received our grant within weeks.We recently had a visit from the SEAI inspector who admired the high quality of the carport structure and said it was a very solid impressive design. Our carport was the first residential one that he had seen in Ireland. This confirmed our own assessment it’s a great asset for us. We can look forward to much lower electricity bills this winter.We would highly recommend Energyserv thanks to Jeff and his team.Many thanks for a great job done.

Extremely satisfied with installation, installers were so efficient, clean and helpful as was office back up. Initial contact with surveyor he maximised number of solar panels and gave excellent advice on best options . I have already referred a number of people who after seeing mine asked who installed in such neat fashion. Happy with way everything performing 👍👏

Highly recommend EnergyServ they’re a fantastic company to deal with. Extremely professional and have a great team working for them.I must say from initial contact to finished job, they showed great patience and gave great advice. I’m sure we tried Jeff’s patience but he never showed it. He listened and his advice was spot on. We are now reaping the rewards.We didn’t have to worry about paperwork as EnergyServ looked after all that.If you considering installing solar PV I would have no hesitation in recommending EnergyServ.

The EnergyServ team have worked very well for us. From original design and planning, grant application and the installation (which was a little awkward in our case). We have a combination of panels and it all works so well. We ordered a car charger just after and this was added and integrated very quickly. We are happy and the admin/office have been very good to check all is as we asked.The system was designed to be expanded later this year, we shall be definitely in touch again. A good company to deal with, good communication.

EnergyServ completed our solar panel installation in 2023 and we were very happy with them from start to finish. Before commencing, I had a lot of questions and it was no trouble at all any time I contacted them to check something or get clarification. They came out and assessed our needs and made recommendations as to the best options for us. We went ahead with 20 solar panels and an eddi with future proofing to add in a battery at a later stage.The installation was quick, neat and seamless and the crew were professional and knowledgeable and took the time to ensure we could operate the system before leaving. EnergyServ can be very proud of their team.We have been in touch since with some queries about adding in a battery and again they have been excellent with contact and information on this. Overall, we would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending EnergyServ to anyone considering putting in a solar energy system.
