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 energy 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 and 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 energy future and that of future generations.
