The report i have complied takes a look at Irelands potential to efficiently harness the Suns Solar Energy for a domestic market.
I give an introduction to Solar related fundamentals, what it is and why we should harness it.
I take a brief look at early solar apploications, Solar terminology and how the Sun radiates its energy to the earth.
Following on i then look at the various ways in which the user can harness that energy for their own use. I look at the various technologies and applications and how each compare.
Irelands potential for harnessing solar power is explored and examined, including energy demand, energy supply and factors that effect supply.
Then we examine a case study similar to the requirements we are seeking for our own domestic market, campare and contrast.
Next Legislation, Regulation, Installation Costs and Government Grants & Funding are looked at.
Finally after examining all of the above, a conclusion is reached.
