Wind Energy

Wind energy is harnessed through wind turbines which convert kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical power. This power can then be used to generate electricity. Wind energy is abundant in Ireland due to its geographical location, which exposes it to consistent wind patterns. The advantages of wind energy include its low operating costs and the fact that it produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation.

Solar Energy

Solar energy is captured using solar panels, which convert sunlight into electricity. In Ireland, solar energy production can be maximized during the sunnier months, although advancements in technology have allowed for better efficiency even on cloudy days. Solar energy is a clean source of energy, producing no pollution during its operation. The installation of solar panels can reduce electricity bills and contribute to energy independence.
