The benefits of solar energy extend far beyond the provision of clean green energy and electricity according to isea. Factors that affect electricity production the amount of electricity a solar panel will generate depends on a range of factors. Typical well installed systems will provide up to 60 of your annual hot water demand. As well as the purely technical knowledge and the ability to create a high quality working system from a design concept.

The solar pv scheme is administered by the sustainable energy authority of ireland seai. Initial successes were with vets farmers and householders across the country. Major contracts followed with tipperary energy agency o shea farms and the defence forces.
