We estimated the solar output for 173 towns, villages and electoral divisions in County Limerick.
Results from this study form the most authoritative source of insights into Limerick-wide solar power potential.

The goal of this study was to deliver the most accurate and authoritative insights into solar power potential in Limerick.
To do this we completed solar output estimates for 173 locations within Limerick – these areas were sourced from Tailte Éireann’s Surveying Open Data Portal.
Energy calculations assume an overall system loss of 14% and take into account solar radiation, temperature, terrain along with other local conditions.
Calculations are based on a south-facing, 4kWp system with fixed panels on a 35 degree slope.
However, all homes and their immediate surroundings are different (e.g. orientation to the sun varies and local buildings & trees can create shade).

Now, the results.
The best place in Limerick for solar panels is Shanid.
Residents in this electoral division can expect to generate 3,775.31 kWh of electricity from a 4kWp solar system, annually.
This equates to €1,623.38 worth of electricity every year, assuming a unit rate 43 cents.
No other electoral division in Limerick produces more electricity than Shanid.
Dunnaman and Shanagolden take second and third place with an estimated output of 3,774.31 kWh and 3,773.66 kWh, respectively.
Limerick residents can expect to produce 3,651.20 kWh p/y from solar, on average.
Overall, solar panels in Limerick generate between 3,386.83 kWh and 3,775.31 kWh of electricity.
This is based on our solar output calculations for 173 electoral divisions in Limerick.
The median estimated output in our study is 3,669.16 kWh.
The mode is slightly higher at 3,670.77 kWh.
The table below is a summary of the high-level results from our study.
Limerick Solar Potential |
Value @ €0.43 p/kWh |
|
|---|---|---|
| Average | 3,651.20 kWh | €1,570.02 |
| Highest | 3,775.31 kWh | €1,623.38 |
| Lowest | 3,386.83 kWh | €1,456.34 |
| Median | 3,669.16 kWh | €1,577.74 |
| Mode | 3,670.77 kWh | €1,578.43 |
These are annual results.
Now let’s take a brief look at monthly output.
Output from solar panels vary widely by month.
Most electricity is generated during summer months, as you’d expect.
But how much exactly?
Let’s take Limerick City Centre as an example.
The chart below shows how output from solar panels in Limerick varies by month.
As you can see, solar panel output in Limerick fluctuates widely by month.
This estimated monthly solar PV breakdown is specifically for a 4kWp system in Limerick City Centre, Latitude 52.665, Longitude -8.630.
Your output will be different.
Many factors impact the amount of electricity that can be generated from solar.
The location of your home, its orientation, slope of the roof, the surroundings, solar panel type, and the quality of product used – these factors and more impact output potential.
