Why MarVal
Healthcare load is flat, 24 hours a day: beds, refrigerators, ventilators, nurse-call. We size solar + storage against your actual load shape, not a spreadsheet average.
Sized to a 24/7 load
Overnight demand is 70–95% of daytime peak, so every kWh you generate hits a real load. Self-consumption stays above 85% without a battery, above 95% with one, and payback in 3–5 years is typical.
Battery-backed essential loop
We wire an essential-loads panel during install. On grid failure the battery inverter switches over in under 40 ms and keeps oxygen concentrators, vaccine fridges, life-safety and nurse-call powered for 8+ hours on a 20 kWh tier. No diesel generator, no manual switch.
HIQA-ready reporting
Monthly output + CO₂ reports formatted for HIQA reviews, ESG procurement panels and board packs. Exportable to CSV or PDF from the monitoring portal, third-party auditable, no manual work.
Grants handled end-to-end
SEAI NDMG up to €162,600: pre-approval, install claim and post-commissioning verification, most approve same-week. We file the 100% Accelerated Capital Allowance claim through your accountant.
The healthcare wedge
What the healthcare case looks like in numbers, from a typical battery-backed care-home array.
Indicative · NDMG applies to systems up to 1 MWp · ride-through sized to your actual device manifest · your quote reflects your load profile and tariff
Zero-disruption protocol
A standard commercial install assumes a shift-based workplace. Healthcare doesn't work like that. Our install crew runs a protocol specific to live-in and clinical facilities.
Essential-circuits walk-through
Before we quote, a compliance walk with your facilities manager. Which panels, distribution boards and circuits are non-negotiable? What's the ideal maintenance window per wing? 1–2 hours on site.
Out-of-hours scaffolding & tie-in
Scaffolding erected out-of-hours where possible. No shared corridors used during care hours; access routes coordinated with your nursing lead.
Live-load sequencing
Commissioning staged around your load profile. Essential circuits isolated for minutes at a time, not hours. Redundant power paths in place before every changeover.
Compliance handover & reporting
Full commissioning pack: MCS certificate, ESB notification, essential-loads schematic, battery ride-through report. Then HIQA-ready monthly output + CO₂ reports, always ready.
Anywhere care doesn't stop
Designed aroundlive operations
A hospital doesn't clock off at 5pm. Your solar system shouldn't either. MCS-certified for domestic and non-domestic under one roof, a GP practice roof at 12 kWp and a hospital campus at 800 kWp share the same paperwork trail, install crew and monitoring portal.
Nursing homes. Roof-mount and canopy arrays, 30–150 kWp typical. Battery-backed essential loop standard.
Private hospitals. Multi-block campuses, 200–1000 kWp with battery backup and ESB islanding.
GP practices. Domestic-rated inverters, 6–15 kWp. SEAI NDMG applies. Install in 3–4 days.
Dental groups. Multi-site rollouts. One install crew, one paperwork trail, one monitoring account.

In their words
The same team runs installs for hospitality, agri and property. Adjacent to healthcare, in their own words.
"An 800 kWp install on a working recycling site is no small feat. MarVal worked around our trucks for the entire install. Zero disruption."
"A proven track record in delivering commercial-scale energy technology. From planning through construction and operation, highly organised and efficient."
"This collaboration represents our commitment to delivering exceptional hospitality while minimising our impact on the environment. The seamless integration into our operations was outstanding."
"144 panels, 19.85 tonnes of CO₂ avoided every year, and a SEAI grant we'd have never figured out on our own. The MarVal team carried it."
FAQs · healthcare
What we hear from facilities managers, matrons and CFOs in nursing homes, hospitals and clinics. If yours isn't here, the phone number above gets you a real person.
Will the install interrupt care hours or evacuations?
No. Our zero-disruption protocol sequences roof access, scaffolding and electrical tie-in around your clinical rota: out-of-hours where possible, essential circuits isolated for minutes not hours, redundant power paths in place before every changeover. We've never triggered an evacuation on a live-in facility.
How does the battery keep oxygen and refrigeration running?
We wire an essential-loads panel during install, a secondary consumer unit that only serves the circuits you can't afford to lose. On grid failure, the battery inverter switches over in under 40 ms and powers that panel from stored solar. A typical 20 kWh tier gives 8+ hours of ride-through for concentrators, vaccine fridges, life-safety and nurse-call. Sized to your actual manifest, not a spreadsheet estimate.
Are your monthly reports HIQA / CQC / GPP-compliant?
Yes. The monitoring portal exports verified output + CO₂ savings in formats accepted by HIQA (Ireland), CQC (UK), Green Public Procurement panels and CSRD-aligned board packs. All numbers are third-party auditable via the SMA/Fronius/Longi monitoring backend, we don't self-report.
What about cybersecurity, inverters + monitoring on our network?
Our commissioning pack includes a segmented VLAN spec for monitoring traffic, MFA on the portal account, and read-only role permissions by default. If your IT team runs a Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001 shop, we hand over an inventory (inverter firmware, MAC addresses, upstream ports) for your CMDB. No monitoring hardware sits on the same network as clinical devices.
Can we finance without capital outlay? Multi-year PPA?
Yes. For sites above ~150 kWp we can arrange a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA): a third-party owns and installs the array, you buy the generated kWh at a fixed price below your current tariff, typically for 15–20 years. Zero capex, lower opex, no maintenance liability. We introduce accredited PPA providers and can be involved as the O&M partner.
Does the NDMG grant apply to charity-owned or trust-owned facilities?
Yes, SEAI NDMG is open to non-domestic buildings across commercial, community, agri, education and charity sectors. Nursing homes, private hospitals, hospice trusts and GP-owned practices all qualify. We handle the eligibility evidence with SEAI directly and confirm approval before any invoicing.
How do you handle rooftop plant, HVAC condensers and vents?
Every healthcare roof has plant congestion: HVAC condensers, cooling towers, extract vents, flues. We do a full drone survey pre-quote to map every obstruction and shadow. Panels sit around plant, never on top of it. Where a proposed layout blocks maintenance access we redesign; if the yield doesn't justify the compromise we say so up-front.
