 Financial Benefits

The installation is projected to generate over 13,000 kWh of clean energy annually, delivering a payback period of under three years. With solar energy produced at an effective cost of just 4p per unit, compared to rising grid prices of 30p+, Killymoon Golf Club is set to achieve an impressive 38.1% return on capital.

Any surplus energy can be exported back to the grid, ensuring zero waste and continued savings even during off-peak periods or when the club is closed. This positions the club to benefit from both reduced operational costs and long-term financial resilience.

Why Killymoon Chose Solarfix

Solarfix tailored a complete solar solution that aligned seamlessly with the club’s operational needs. Hugh O’Neill, Trustee of Killymoon Golf Club, shared his experience:

“They've installed a 16kW system on the roof of our clubhouse, and they tailored the whole system to meet our needs. It didn’t interfere with the day-to-day running for members or guests. It was an easy, seamless process.”

Beyond financial performance, the installation supports Killymoon Golf Club’s commitment to environmental stewardship. The system is projected to save over 4,000 kg of CO₂ every year, equating to more than 110,000 kg across the 25-year warranty period.

General Manager Barry Donaghy highlighted the importance of the project for both sustainability and corporate responsibility:

“As a business, it fits with not only our financial obligations in terms of keeping costs down, but also our CSR. It's important to tell our members and the wider public that we are a responsible club and we look after the environment.”
