About RJC Renewables

Real People. Real Expertise. Solar Done Right.

At RJC Renewables, we’re not just in the business of installing solar panels — we’re in the business of helping Irish homeowners make a smart, lasting investment in their future. We’re a locally based team, led by Roy Connor, a former military engineer with over 15 years of experience in the solar industry. From first call to final switch-on, we make sure your experience is smooth, safe, and stress-free.

Our Story

Roy first started designing solar systems back in 2010, long before renewables became mainstream in Ireland. He quickly saw the growing demand — but also the growing problems. Companies cutting corners. Poor-quality components. Sales-driven services that left homeowners frustrated and unsupported. So in 2018, Roy took a leap and founded RJC Renewables with a clear vision: bring integrity, professionalism and long-term thinking to solar installation in Ireland.
He built the business from the ground up, connecting with the best electricians, roofers and engineers in the country — people who care as much about quality as he does. That same team still works with us today. We don’t believe in rushing jobs or upselling customers. We believe in getting it right the first time — with clear communication, transparent pricing, and the highest possible standard of work.

We’re fully certified and meet all national requirements for safe, grant-eligible solar installation:

Every member of our team is a specialist. That means no salespeople, no vague promises — just direct, honest communication from people who live and breathe this work. We’ve installed nearly 600 systems nationwide, and we’re proud to say our performance speaks for itself: only two of those systems have ever gone offline. We keep our operation small, intentional, and skilled — because to us, doing the job right matters more than doing it fast.

What Makes Us Different

Most of our customers come to us through word of mouth — and we think that says a lot. Here’s what sets us apart:

You Talk to a Specialist, Not a Salesperson

From the very first conversation, you’ll speak directly with someone who actually installs solar systems — not a call centre or commission-based sales rep. That leads to better advice, faster answers, and a far smoother experience.

Fast, On-Site System Planning

Thanks to our experience, we’re able to assess your site and provide a personalised plan and quote on the spot. No back-and-forth emails or long waits. We know what works, and we’re quick to show you how it can work for you.

We Prioritise Quality Over Price

We’re not trying to be the cheapest on the market — and we don’t cut corners. Instead, we provide real value through high-quality components, skilled installation, and long-term peace of mind.

Safety & Grants Come First

Unlike many companies, we don’t begin any work until the ESP report is returned. That means you’re always covered from a safety, legal and grant perspective.

Only the Best
Equipment

We’ve tested countless inverters — and we stick with Solis. They’re stable, well-supported, and widely used globally. Plus, their team works closely with us to keep things up to date and running smoothly.

Full Monitoring &
Support

With RJC Renewables, you’re never left in the dark. We include system monitoring, follow-up, and quality control with every install — and it’s already built into the price.

Supporting Local Talent – Dancezone Stage School

We believe in giving back to the community that supports us — not just through solar, but by helping local talent shine. One initiative close to our hearts is our sponsorship of Dancezone Stage School in Moate, where over 200 students train in dance, music, and stagecraft. It’s a personal one for Roy — his own daughter dances with the school and has grown into one of the standout performers in the Midlands. So much so, he even built her a stage at home!

Now in our second year of support, we help provide vital resources like equipment and performance gear, which make a real difference to Dancezone. The school, a pillar of the community for over 25 years under the guidance of Sandra Julian, also includes valued instructors like Rachel Watt, a familiar face to many in the area who helps students build confidence, discipline, and a lifelong love for the arts.. Many past students have gone on to excel in careers and life — proof that what happens on stage really can shape futures. We’re proud to be part of that story.

Our Solar Panel Installation Process 

We’ve fine-tuned our process to make going solar as simple and stress-free as possible.

Step 1: Quick Discovery Call

We start with a friendly phone chat to understand your energy needs, home layout, and overall goals.

Step 2: On-Site Survey & Risk Assessment

One of our experts will visit your property to assess everything — including roof layout, shading, power needs and site safety. We’ll also walk you through what to expect and answer any questions you have.

Step 3: Personalised Quote – On the Spot

Thanks to our in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience, we usually create a system design and provide a quote during the site visit. No waiting around.

Step 4: Grant Application & ESP Report

Before we begin work, we submit your ESP report and help guide you through any grant applications (like SEAI). Safety and compliance always come first.

Step 5: Professional Installation

Once the report is back, we schedule your installation — typically completed within 4–6 weeks. Our in-house team handles everything, keeping the job clean, efficient, and on time.

Step 6: Monitoring & Support

We don’t disappear after the panels go up. We offer full monitoring and post-install support so you can stay confident and informed about your system’s performance.

What Our Clients Say

We’ve worked with hundreds of homeowners across Ireland — and the feedback speaks volumes. From Clare to Westmeath, Offaly to the Midlands, we’ve built lasting relationships based on trust, skill, and results. Here’s what they say:

Craig was excellent from start to finish. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly without any pressure. He answered all of my questions honestly and made the whole process of choosing solar panels straightforward and easy to understand. His communication was great throughout, and he genuinely seemed to care about finding the best solution rather than just making a sale. I’d highly recommend Craig to anyone considering solar panels.
