Hospitality in Ireland: The Smartest Energy Upgrade for 2025
Irish hotels, guesthouses, and hospitality venues are seeing rising energy bills and increased pressure to operate more sustainably. One of the most effective ways to reduce long-term operating costs is to invest in solar PV systems tailored for the hotel and hospitality sector.
At Irish Wind and Solar, we help hotels unlock major savings, maximise government incentives, and future-proof energy usage.

Why Solar PV Is Ideal for Hotels & Hospitality
Hotels have high daytime energy demand from:
- Kitchens and restaurants
- Heating & hot water
- Laundry
- Pools, spas & leisure centres
- EV charging
- Lighting
- Events and conference facilities
Because solar generates power during peak hotel usage hours, hotels use most of the energy in real time, delivering the fastest payback of any commercial sector.

Hotel Solar Grants – Up to €162,600 per MPRN
Irish hotels can now access incredibly generous grant supports—up to €162,600 per MPRN for commercial solar systems. This dramatically reduces upfront costs and typically cuts payback periods to 3–5 years.

Accelerated Capital Allowances (ACA)
Write off 100% of your solar investment in the first year
Hotels also qualify for the Accelerated Capital Allowances scheme, which allows them to deduct 100% of the solar PV investment in Year 1.
This means:
- Lower corporation tax
- Faster ROI
- Strong environmental branding
- Better long-term financial planning
ACA applies to solar PV, battery storage, and EV charging—making it ideal for hotels upgrading their full energy infrastructure.
Solar Carports for Hotels with Limited Roof Space
Many hotels cannot place panels on their roofs due to:
- Flat roof structural limits
- Shading
- Planning restrictions
- Aesthetic considerations
- Limited roof square footage
Solar carports solve this issue by turning hotel car parks into renewable energy hubs. Benefits include:
- Generates clean energy without using roof space
- Provides covered parking for guests
- Integrates EV charging stations
- Improves the appearance of car parks
- Enhances the hotel’s green credentials
