Our story
From Lumen Engineering to Lumen Solar
We started in 2013 as Lumen Engineering and moved into solar PV because it was the work customers kept asking us for.
Over the 13 years since, we've installed on houses, commercial and industrial roofs, farm buildings and community facilities. The jobs have got bigger, but we still work the same way: look at the building and its electricity use first, then work out what equipment suits it.
Renaming the company to Lumen Solar just caught up with what we were already doing. Solar is the whole business here.
Where we are
Our office and stores are in Blyry Business & Commercial Park, Athlone, Co. Westmeath. Being based in the Midlands means we can get to a survey quickly, and get back out to you just as quickly three years later if something needs looking at.
How we work
Four things we won't cut corners on
Engineering before sales
We came out of engineering, and it shows in how we quote. Every system is designed from a load profile and a roof survey, not picked off a price list.
We say no when the numbers say no
Some roofs are too shaded, some buildings use too little power, and some batteries would never pay for themselves. If that’s your situation, we’ll tell you.
One team, start to finish
We do the survey, design, installation, commissioning and servicing ourselves.
Still here in ten years
A warranty is only any use if the company behind it is still trading. We’ve been installing solar since 2013, and panels last thirty years and more.
Credentials
Registrations you can check independently
There are plenty of badges in solar. These are the ones that count, and you can check each of them without taking our word for it.
SEAI Registered Solar PV Company & Registered Installer
Required for your installation to qualify for the SEAI grant. If an installer isn't on the register, there is no grant, however good the work is.

Track record
Organisations we have worked with
Reach
Midlands first, nationwide where it makes sense
Athlone, Mullingar, Tullamore, Longford, Ballinasloe and Roscommon are our home patch, close enough that survey visits and aftercare calls are routine. For larger commercial and farm projects we travel a good deal further.
If you're at the far edge of our range and the job is small, we'll tell you straight that a local installer will get to you faster.
