Solarfix, a Northern Irish solar panel design and installation start-up, has acquired €1.8m in a funding package from Whiterock.
With this funding, Solarfix plans to increase its presence in the UK and Ireland by reducing energy costs and lowering carbon emissions for both domestic and commercial customers.
Solarfix’s current portfolio includes solar projects for the domestic, commercial, and agricultural markets – such as providing Duracell Energy batteries for storage or Solaredge Optimised systems for buildings that are in shade or high risk.
