Solar Panels for Apartment Buildings

We most often hear about solar panels going on people’s houses. But just because you live in an apartment doesn’t mean that you can’t benefit from solar power.

Read our guide about the challenges and uses of solar panels for people who own or rent apartments, as well as landlords.

Kirsty explores a handy tool for rooftop solar calculations

Kirsty is loving this new tool that lets people in Irish towns and cities see how many solar panels will fit on their roof.

The calculator also lets anyone, no matter where they live, explore how much solar panels will cost them, and their potential savings over many years.

The Value of Attic Insulation to Your Home

Insulation should be one of the first things that anyone interested in energy saving home upgrades looks to. Attic insulation is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to improve your home's insulation.

Whether adding lost roll insulation, or spray foam to the rafters for an attic conversion, you can save hundreds of euro each year on heating bills.

Limitless Solar Potential on Irish Roofs

Ireland has over 1 million homes with rooftops suitable for solar panels. That’s enough to power an incredible green revolution if we make the best use of all that space.

And that’s not even counting all the schools, businesses, and more that can add to the total.

This is the focus of industry body Solar Ireland’s No Rooftop Left Behind 2025 campaign.

Microinverters vs Hybrid Inverters - What’s the difference?

An inverter is an essential component for any solar PV system, converting all that solar juice into something you can use.

But what type of inverter should you get? Here we explain the pros and cons of two major types of solar inverters, and the situations where they are of most use.

We hope you enjoyed the articles this week. Together with your support, we are helping to build a greener, more affordable Ireland for everyone.

That’s your energy update. Until the next edition
