Solar PV for Cleanrooms Supporting High-Spec Manufacturing in Ireland
Asgard Cleanroom Solutions, a leading cleanroom design and manufacturing company in County Kilkenny, has invested in solar PV for cleanrooms to reduce energy costs while maintaining strict environmental and operational standards.
The company specialises in high-performance cleanroom environments for the pharmaceutical, med-tech, and food sectors. These industries rely on consistent power, controlled conditions, and operational continuity, making commercial solar PV a strategic and reliable energy solution.
By working with experienced commercial solar panel installers, the business was able to introduce renewable energy without compromising cleanroom performance or compliance.
The Challenge
The company was facing rising daytime electricity costs due to increased manufacturing output and utility rate hikes. With a growing focus on sustainability from clients and industry regulators, the business also saw the need to reduce its carbon footprint without affecting the quality or continuity of its operations.
The Solution
SOLARspan designed and installed a 48.6kW commercial solar PV system consisting of 108 high-efficiency solar panels. The system was tailored specifically for cleanroom manufacturing energy profiles, ensuring maximum solar yield during peak operational hours.
As trusted commercial solar panel installers, SOLARspan completed the installation in just four days with zero disruption to cleanroom operations. Careful planning ensured compliance with site safety requirements and uninterrupted production schedules.
The commercial solar panel system now generates clean, on-site electricity, offsetting a significant portion of daytime energy usage and reducing reliance on grid power.
The Results
- Projected Annual Savings: €11,000-€16,000
- Estimated Payback Period: Less than 3 years
- Post-Payback Energy Cost: Significantly reduced for the next 20+ years
- CO₂ Reduction: Approx 11 Tonnes per year
- No Downtime: Cleanroom operations continued without compromise
The company also qualified for the SEAI Non-Domestic Microgen Grant of €14,400, which covered a portion of the installation cost, and is claiming Accelerated Capital Allowance (ACA) for immediate tax benefits boosting the return on investment from day one.
Looking Ahead
With monitoring tools now live, the management team can view real-time generation and savings, helping them validate ROI and demonstrate environmental performance in client audits and tender processes.
This installation marks the company’s first major investment in renewable energy, aligning with its long-term strategy to reduce operational emissions and meet evolving procurement expectations across its supply chain.
“We wanted a solution that didn’t just lower costs, but showed our commitment to clean, future-ready operations. SOLARspan delivered exactly that without disrupting our business.”
