Solar Power Is On The Rise
Solar power Ireland is on the rise. That’s good news for Ireland and its inhabitants, as we can expect solar to grow by 50% over the next five years. It is expected that solar will become our world’s largest source of renewable energy by 2050–and Ireland has set a target of 40% renewables by 2030.


Solar Panels, the Good And The Bad
Solar panels are a big investment. If you’re thinking of getting them for your home or business, there are some things to consider before making the leap. The good: Solar panels are an excellent way to reduce your energy costs and help the environment at the same time. They also come with tax breaks and other incentives that can make them cheaper than buying electricity from Irish Power Networks (IPN). The bad: The upfront cost of solar panels is high–around €6k per kWp installed–so they may not be right for everyone who wants to go green but doesn’t have much money saved up yet. That said, if you plan on staying in one place long enough for your investment in solar power generation equipment to pay off over its lifetime (about 20 years), then this isn’t really much of an issue at all! The ugly: You’ll need plenty of sunlight throughout Ireland’s long summer months in order for these bad boys’ efficiency levels – which range from 17-22% depending on model type – not only reach maximum output but also stay there consistently throughout daylight hours; otherwise those figures will drop down considerably closer towards those found within standard household appliances such as televisions or refrigerators.”
