A Solar Success Story: How Solar Changed Deborah’s Home for the Better
When it comes to energy, many Irish homeowners are starting to think differently — and Deborah is a perfect example of how a smart solar investment can future-proof your home and reduce bills.
As a customer of Planet Blue Energy, Deborah recently had solar panels installed on her newly built home. Her story is one of proactive energy choices, expert service, and a commitment to sustainability. Here’s how Planet Blue helped make her solar journey a smooth and rewarding experience.
A Fully Electric Home with High Energy Demands
Deborah lives in a modern, highly efficient home. From the outset, the house was built with energy-conscious decisions in mind. It’s fully electric, featuring an air-to-water heating system, an electric car, and even an electric well.
Despite the efficiency of her appliances and systems, the electrical demands were still high — especially with Ireland’s increasing energy prices.
“Our electricity bills were getting very high,” Deborah recalls. “We thought it was a good investment to put some of our savings into solar power.”
This sentiment echoes a growing trend among Irish homeowners: recognising solar not only as an environmental choice, but a smart financial one.
Getting Started with Planet Blue Energy
Choosing the right solar provider can be daunting, but for Deborah, Planet Blue stood out early in her research.
“Once we contacted Planet Blue, someone came out to the house, gave us great advice, and recommended options based on our home’s orientation.”
Right away, Deborah experienced the personalised, customer-first approach Planet Blue is known for. Her home’s roof orientation was ideal for solar generation — a detail carefully assessed by Planet Blue’s initial consultant. A follow-up visit from an engineer further confirmed the best panel placement and where internal components like the inverter and hot water diverter would go.
“They made sure we were happy with everything, which gave us great confidence in the process.”
Trust, Experience & Local Knowledge
For homeowners like Deborah, trust in a solar company goes beyond just a good sales pitch. It’s about reputation, experience, and local presence.
“I’d recommend choosing a provider with a lot of experience — someone well established and who has done installs in your area.”
This was a key factor in her decision. Reading Planet Blue Energy’s 5-star Google reviews helped confirm that they not only delivered great installations but also provided responsive pre- and post-installation support.
“From the reviews, it sounded like Planet Blue would be with us from start to finish — and that turned out to be absolutely true.”
Installation Day: A Team That Delivers
One of Deborah’s biggest surprises was how efficient and well-coordinated the installation process was.
“I was here the day they installed it. They arrived before 8:00 a.m. with four vans full of people, and they were working hard all day.”
After the experience of other trades during the build — where delays and no-shows were frequent — Planet Blue stood out with their punctuality and professionalism.
“I couldn’t believe it was all done in one day. The panels were up and finished by 4:00 p.m.”
This kind of organisation and efficiency makes a huge difference, especially during a larger home project. For Deborah, it reaffirmed she had chosen the right company.
A Greener, Smarter Way to Live
Beyond the savings, Deborah sees the solar system as a step toward living more sustainably. With her home now powered by green energy, she feels reassured knowing that her family is reducing their impact on the planet.
“It’s really nice to know that our energy system is sustainable and green. We’re doing as much as we can to make sure the way we’re living is good for the planet and good for nature.”
In a time when many of us are looking for practical ways to combat climate change, installing solar panels is one of the most effective steps a household can take. For homes with high electricity usage — like Deborah’s — the financial returns and environmental benefits go hand in hand.
