The Spirit Motor Group, the retail division of OHM Group, an automotive distributor and retailer, has announced the successful installation of a pilot rooftop solar plant at its flagship Jaguar Land Rover showroom in Dublin. Representing a strategic move to align with the growing demands of the electric vehicle (EV) retail market, the innovative DC-optimised rooftop solar system (powered by SolarEdge ) will provide clean, reliable power to the site's Jaguar Land Rover showroom and a newly built EV preparation centre located on the same site. The 470-panel solar system is expected to generate around 160MWh of electricity each year. This is forecasted to offset approximately 50% off the site's high energy use, saving over €50,000 annually. Payback is expected in less than three years. OHM Group is an exclusive distributor and retailer of international brands and related aftersales services in the automotive and power solutions markets in Ireland.
