Solar is a rapidly developing technology that has minimal impact on the environment with maximum benefits. Solar is forecast to become the most economically viable renewable energy source in the coming years globally.
BNRG Distribution recognizes the potential for solar in Ireland. It’s a long term sustainable and clean option with numerous benefits for Ireland economically, socially and environmentally.
Although Ireland is not known for long hours of sunshine, it is actually the visible light that drives PV cells. The level of light and brightness of the day is the key thing. Therefore, Irish weather is perfectly suitable for PV. Even at cloudy days there are good visible light levels and the resource for driving PV is substantial.
Moreover, Ireland has another great advantage for Solar. At times when seasonal intensity of visible light is at its peak, Ireland has very long ours of daylight. These long ours of daylight overlap with the daily national electricity peak demand times – morning time and 5.30pm onwards.
We don’t know exactly how energy prices will change but it’s a pretty good bet that electricity bills aren’t’ likely to go down. Solar lets you cut your power bill today and let you enjoy savings in the future.
