Sustainable Energy: Dublin Tennis Club Leverages Solar Power for Affordable Sport

Dublin Tennis Club Embraces Sustainability with Solar Installation



In a commendable move towards sustainability, Meadowvale Tennis Club in Dublin has partnered with Sungrow, a leader in photovoltaic inverter technology and energy storage systems, to install a solar energy system. This initiative underscores the club’s dedication to providing affordable sports options while significantly reducing its electricity expenses.

The newly implemented solar power system consists of 34 rooftop photovoltaic (PV) modules coupled with a 10kW hybrid inverter. This combination effectively converts sunlight into usable electricity, while 26kWh of battery storage ensures energy availability during low sunlight hours or peak demand times. To make energy management even more efficient, Sungrow's iSolarCloud monitoring solution has also been integrated, enabling the club to oversee and optimize their clean energy consumption.

Peadar Donohoe, the Membership Secretary of Meadowvale Tennis Club, remarked, "Our motto has always been affordable tennis for all. Our electricity bills were exceedingly high, and this installation will drastically reduce those costs—our members are thrilled."

James Gunn from Solar Clarity Ltd, the Dublin-based solar installer partnering with Sungrow, echoed a similar sentiment about quality and safety. "As a business owner, I would never compromise on quality or safety. I've observed firsthand the robust safety features integrated into Sungrow's products, complemented by their excellent service support. It's the reason we have collaborated with Sungrow on over 118 installations in Dublin and surrounding areas since 2023."

This project is more than just a cost-saving measure; it is part of a larger strategy by Sungrow to extend clean energy solutions across Ireland. By providing reliable and affordable solar setups, Sungrow is playing a key role in assisting households, businesses, and community organizations with the transition to greener energy. Leo Powell, Country Manager for the UK and Ireland at Sungrow, stated, "We take pride in collaborating with local communities in Ireland and showcasing how accessible, reliable, and impactful clean energy can be. Projects like Meadowvale illustrate how renewable technology can bring tangible benefits for both people and the environment."

Solar Clarity Ltd specializes in solar installations across Dublin and has successfully completed over 150 installations to date, helping both residential and commercial clients lower their energy costs and embrace sustainable practices.

Given Sungrow’s status as a global leader in renewable energy technology, with 28 years of experience and 870 GW of power electronic converters installed globally as of June 2025, their insights and innovations play a significant role in advancing sustainable energy projects. Recognized for their reliability, Sungrow's products are classified as the world’s most bankable photovoltaic inverter and energy storage solutions (BloombergNEF).

As Meadowvale Tennis Club enjoys the benefits of reduced operational costs, it simultaneously champions sustainable practices within the sporting community. With an increasing emphasis on environmental responsibility, this installation marks a positive step towards improving accessibility to affordable sports facilities, fostering a healthier lifestyle, and ensuring a sustainable future. As they look ahead, Meadowvale aims to inspire other community organizations to consider similar investments in clean energy.
