Case Study in Ireland

Panda

Commercial

Welcome to the Solar PV project that MarVal Power designed and installed for Panda, a leading green utilities company dedicated to sustainability and environmental goals. Together, we are delighted to be responsible for one of the largest rooftop solar energy systems ever completed in Ireland.

Project Overview

In collaboration with MarVal Power, Panda installed an 800 kWp rooftop solar PV system comprising 1,989 high-efficiency solar panels. Despite the facility’s proximity to Dublin Airport, the project was successfully delivered with full compliance to aviation and safety regulations.

Project Background

As a green utility provider with a mission to achieve Net Zero by 2040, Panda was seeking a powerful and scalable renewable energy solution. The project supports their five strategic pillars: innovation, partnership, environmental leadership, carbon reduction, and community engagement. MarVal Power was selected based on its technical expertise and commitment to EU-compliant sourcing.

Solution Delivered

MarVal Power designed and installed an 800 kWp rooftop solar system using 1,989 Longi 415W solar panels paired with seven SMA Core 2 inverters. Given the site’s proximity to Dublin Airport, the system was engineered with strict height, glare, and structural safety considerations. The design process included rigorous assessments to align with aviation guidelines, wind load analysis, and security compliance—ensuring both operational excellence and airspace safety.
