PepsiCo has completed work on what is the country's largest rooftop solar panel installation at its facility in Carrigaline in Cork. 

Over the course of a year, the solar panels will provide 25% of the electricity required by the site. During the summer months, they will have the capacity to provide 100% of the site's electricity needs.
