At Gurteen Bay Campsite in the heart of Connemara, sustainability is more than just a buzzword – it’s a way of life. Nestled between the stunning beaches of Gurteen Bay and Dogs Bay, this popular campsite has always attracted visitors with its natural beauty.
However, with high energy demands for providing consistent electricity and hot water to guests, the need for a more sustainable energy solution became clear. That’s where Solgrid stepped in with a tailored solar PV solution.
Solgrid partnered with Gurteen Bay Campsite to design and install a cutting-edge system that meets their unique energy needs. The system, featuring 61 high-efficiency Q-cell panels and two Huawei inverters, delivers a total output of 29.89 kWp. This robust setup ensures that 28.4% of the campsite’s energy requirements are met through clean, renewable solar power.
The benefits of this solar PV installation are significant. Gurteen Bay Campsite has achieved a dramatic reduction in its carbon footprint, avoiding over 9,000 kg of CO₂ emissions annually. Additionally, by integrating solar PV into their operations, the campsite has reduced its reliance on grid electricity, leading to substantial cost savings and greater energy independence.
