Heat pumps are an alternative to traditional heating systems that is more energy efficient.
A thin film panel may last for over ten years, which is usually less than the average crystalline panel. However, with consistent technological advances improving the durability of thin films, they could soon reach a twenty-year lifespan.
Your home or business's power needs will determine how much power you require.

Change the way schools are taught in Ireland by engaging with them.
The Irish Government sees solar energy as an important long-term way of expanding the mix of sustain-able energy in Ireland. They have therefore put in place a number incentives to assist Irish consumers in switching to solar.
Solar PV systems with 10 panels and a diverter for hot water are the most common. The average cost of the system is EUR7.975 (before grant). The site survey will determine the exact quote. This 10 panel sys-tem (4.1kWp) would cost EUR5,575. Solar Share has agreed to keep the same pricing for all installations that have paid deposits by May 1, 2023. Once installed, you can save up to EUR 1,190 per year (based on self-consumption of solar electricity of 2,280kWh plus exporting 1,220kWh into grid). At the current elec-tricity rate of 41c/kWh, your investment will be repaid in about five years.
The estimated cost ranges from EUR50 to EUR300 per annum, depending on the size of your household
