Solar energy is a clean, renewable source of power. It’s also becoming much more affordable for people in Ireland, giving them anopportunity to reduce their carbon footprint and save money on utility
bills. In this article, we’ll take a look at how solar energy works and why it’s gaining popularity in Ireland today.
The solar energy revolution is upon us
Ireland is an island nation with a long and rich history. As a result
of this, it has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in
Europe. But while tourism is an important part of our economy, it’s not
the only thing we do well here in Ireland–we also have a thriving solar
energy industry!
Solar energy has been around for centuries, but only recently have we
started to harness it effectively enough to make use of its potential
benefits on a large scale. The price of solar panels has dropped
dramatically since they were first introduced in 1956; now they’re
affordable enough for homeowners who want them on their roofs or
businesses looking to invest in renewable sources of power generation.
In addition to being cost effective, using solar power helps reduce our
dependence on fossil fuels like coal which pollute our environment with
greenhouse gases when burned (and are also harmful when mined).
As more people begin taking advantage of these technologies there
will inevitably be some growing pains along with them: namely how best
we can accommodate all those new installations without disrupting local
ecosystems too much? Especially considering how sensitive certain
species can be when their habitat becomes disturbed by human activity
(such as building roads through wetlands).
