Hi ,
Welcome to our latest monthly newsletter from Energy Efficiency Ireland. Here we cover some of the latest news and developments in solar power, electric vehicles, and more.

Dive in to read more!
Commercial Solar Power
Energy costs are a huge concern for all commercial sectors in Ireland these days, with many struggling just to keep the lights on. Commercial solar power can works wonders for all types of businesses by helping them to save money on their electricity bills, and pursue a more sustainable future.
Huawei LUNA Solar Battery Storage
Solar Batteries are becoming an essential part of solar PV systems to ensure that no power generated by solar panels goes to waste.
The Huawei LUNA Smart String Energy Storage Battery allows homeowners to scale their battery capacity up as they please, all contained in a sleek and modern unit with multiple operating modes, and full of safety features.
“The scale of solar generation already achieved in just two short years shows what can be delivered when society, government and industry work together. We will fully decarbonise our electricity system in the next 10-15 years, with solar being a fundamental predictable part of the electricity system.”

All of Europe is rushing to adopt solar power as part of the transition away from fossil fuels. But where does Ireland fall in the pack in terms of installed capacity per capita? The results show we have a long way to go yet.
Climbing to Space on the Back of the Sun
Space travel is always an exciting thing to speculate about. What new technologies will push humanity forward towards exploring other planets in our solar system?
What role could solar power play in driving us onwards and upwards on the stairway to space? Or, as it were, on the elevator.
