Sunstream Energy was founded in 2005 by Gene Hourihane, a qualified mechanical engineer with experience in engineering design, manufacturing, and management.
In its first years Sunstream Energy concentrated on renewable energy consultancy and small- scale wind energy installations. The company installed its first commercial solar PV system in 2007 and first residential system in 2009. Since then, we have installed wind, solar thermal and solar PV systems – largely focussing on Solar PV in recent years.
We have installed solar PV for residential, agriculture and commercial applications to typically 100KW capacity.
We continuously strive to offer innovative solar PV systems ensuring our customers get complete satisfaction. Our innovative Next2Sun “Solar Fence” and thermal storage system has proven to deliver maximum savings to dairy farmers.
