Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels are an increasingly popular choice for generating renewable energy in Ireland, and for good reason. Despite its reputation for being cloudy and rainy, Ireland actually has a climate that is well-suited for solar power. In this blog post, we will explore why solar PV panels are effective in Ireland. Firstly, it is important to understand how solar PV panels work. Solar panels generate electricity by converting sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity, which can be used to power homes and businesses. The more sunlight […]

Everyone agrees that the world needs to shift to renewable energy, and fast! The targets that world governments have been set for 2050 through the Paris Accord and other commitments are very ambitious and technology will play a key part in achieving those objectives. In this piece, we look at some of the advances we can expect and some that may be a little longer to be deployed. What needs to happen? Long duration energy storage: Renewable energy be it wind, solar or another source is unreliable due to the variable supply so it is essential that excess energy can […]
