The renewable energy solar share ireland saw significant growth in 2022 driven by increasing popularity of electric vehicles, soaring electricity prices and a desire to reduce dependence on the grid. One of the most significant developments was the launch of Ireland’s first grid-connected solar farm in Wexford which will energise 6,600 homes. Other major active solar projects include Dunderrow Solar PV Park, Dale Farm Solar PV Park, Ballymagee Primary School Solar Park and St Comhgall’s College Solar Park.

Solar share ireland enables Irish homeowners to generate and harness their own electricity using solar panels and energy storage batteries. This significantly reduces the amount of electricity they pull from the grid and can save them up to 80% of their electricity bills. It also helps them avoid the carbon tax and other energy charges and delivers a ten per cent return for their investment.
