Reading a piece on the future of solar energy in Ireland the headline said that the outlook was bright for energy produced in that way. To date the ESB in Ireland have received more than 1 GW in Solar PV applications.
It shows that there is a serious appetite for the industry in Ireland. However the sunny south west seems to be the main locus of activity for the industry in ireland. A solar panel in County Cork will produce 10 percent more energy than one in Donegal.
seems like when you’re thinking about zero-carbon energy production, it’s all about location, location, location. Maybe Donegal could make up for it in wind energy!
