About Ecologics Solar

Ecologics was founded by Quentin Gargan in 2002 after he began importing solar panels and wind turbines to try out on his own house. From his own experience of being a homeowner wanting to install renewable sources of energy but with little information and help available, he soon recognised the need for a trusted supplier of solar products in Ireland that could supply quality product backed up with expertise and experience and so Ecologics solar solutions was born..

After a quick start in Cork we moved HQ to the Naas Road in Dublin from where we run a nationwide operation serving the solar energy requirements of the construction industry, professional installers, plumbers and the general public.

We hope some of the information here will inspire you to make an investment in your own future and that of future generations.

The Ecologics Team

Quentin Gargan	Quentin Gargan and his partner Clare Watson live on a smallholding in West Cork where their strawbale house gets its energy from a wind turbine, micro-hydro, solar PVs, solar water heating and timber from their own woodlands. Over the last ten years Quentin has installed these and various other experimental renewable energy systems at their home. Quentin is a BPEC qualified solar installer and is a guest lecturer on solar water heating at Cork Institute of Technology, as well as offering short courses in renewable energy systems at their home and in other venues. He holds City & Guilds certificates in wind turbine and solar photovoltaic installation, and is qualified as a Building Energy Rating (BER) Assessor. Quentin is a founding director of Ecologics Solar Solutions, Wholefoods Wholesale and Turbotricity Domestic Wind Turbines.

He was one of the first FETAC qualified solar thermal installers in Ireland and has also trained in France in solar photovoltaic installation and has studied wind energy in the Centre for Alternative Energy in Wales.
