QK Cold Stores in Kildare required an energy-efficient solution to offset the high electricity consumption associated with their cold storage operations. We designed and delivered a cutting-edge 2.3MWp solar PV system to meet their needs, reducing reliance on grid electricity and supporting their sustainability goals.
The project was strategically planned as a two-stage installation to align with their operational requirements. In Q1 2024, we successfully installed a 767kWp system, ensuring an immediate reduction in energy costs while maintaining uninterrupted facility operations. The second phase, a 1,565kWp system, was completed in Q4 2024, further enhancing their energy independence.

QK Cold Stores could save around €304,547 per year on electricity costs by using this solar system instead of purchasing electricity from the grid.
This system generates around 2,030,314 kWh/yr of electricity annually.
By using this system QK Cold Stores can reduce emissions by approximately 689 tonnes (or 688,596 kg/yr) of CO2 per year.
The estimated yearly output of this system is equivalent to the energy needed to power around 483 homes in Ireland for a year.
This system has a carbon impact equivalent to planting around 27,410 mature trees per year.
