The Activ8 Story
The story of Activ8 Solar Energies
16 years, 14,000 customers and a lot of solar panels!


2009, 2010, 2011 leading installer with 920 installs in 2011 alone - 75% more than any other company


“We managed to survive and thrive through the recession. We provided a service that allowed people to save money over time produce renewable energy on their roof. Customers invested in their own homes.”
Ciaran Marron, Founder and CEO of Activ8 Solar Energies

“We started installing solar PV in Ireland back in 2012, a full 6 years before any incentive was introduced.”
Gary Connolly, Commerical Director


“We partnered with SSE Airtricity in 2014 to supply the utility with energy credits - this was the start of the relationship with Activ8 & SSE Airtricity”
Aidan Marron, Director of Activ8 Solar Energies
Further strengthening of the SSE Airtricity partnership through this large commercial installation.
1,448 Suntech solar panels were installed on the rooftops of the Oddysey building in Belfast city centre. The installation was completed in under 2 weeks!

Stephen Gallagher, SSE Airtricity Director of Business Energy
We recorded hours and hours of footage and now we have a dedicated Customer portal where our customers can watch tutorials and walk-throughs on every aspect of their system.




“Moving into our new premises will allow us to provide both our domestic and commercial customers with the very best solar products and services.
I am so excited for the next chapter.”
