850 litre space heating assistance and 250 litre hot water system, Co Wicklow
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This is a 120 tube solar panel system with a 250 litre, Evotherm stainless steel solar cylinder. This system actually featured on TV and can be viewed here. This was a new build and we incorporated the solar heating with the underfloor heating on the ground floor very successfully. The solar panels contribute to the underfloor heating and also heat the domestic hot water needs for washing, bathing etc...

"Excellent installation and has helped towards the low running costs of the house. Also helped us to achieve a “B” on the Building Energy Rating (BER)."
700 litres of hot water for showering at the Castlepalooza music festival, Offaly
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This is a 120 tube solar panel system with a 700 litre stainless steel pressurised cylinder. The hot water is fed to shower pods on site to allow campers to shower for free, without the need for fossil fuels. The festival was hosted by Dudley Stewart, brother of architect Duncan Stewart. The showers were a great success and were enjoyed by all campers who bothered to shower before the 2nd day of partying began.

"Thanks for all your help guys, we were delighted that we could incorporate renewable energy into our shower pods"
200 litre system, Leixlip, Co. Kildare
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This is a 30 tube solar panel system and we had to make a tall slim 200 litre Evotherm solar cylinder to fit the small hot press.
CUSTOMER COMMENTS
"I'd like to acknowledge the efficiency & professionalism with which the whole installation process was conducted from initial contact to installation which was 100% without fault. The system is exceeding expectations - the immersion has been off from 3 weeks after installation and even when it was on, the time it took to boost the temp of the water to 'hot' was noticeably shorter. Time saving is a 'major' with women who work full-time and run a home without help. Thanks"
Germany: 9,785 Mega Watts Capacity Of PV Solar Energy
Germany uses 9,785 MW of solar energy at present. In the year 2009, a 3,806 MW of PhotoVoltaic solar energy capacity was installed in Germany, which is about 8 times the quantity that America installed in the same year. Germany is blessed with great financing opportunities, an excellent Feed-in-Tariff (FiT) scheme, all of which is aided by several knowledgeable PV companies and PV technology awareness. Germany may well add an additional 5,000 MW of solar power this in 2011, and use 100% renewable energy by 2050.
Belgium: 363 Mega Watts Capacity Of PV Solar Energy
In 2009, of the countries that were reviewed for PV solar energy installations, Belgium was a surprise package. Belgium Feed-in-Tariff program, encapsulated in its Green Certificates scheme is aided by electricity self-consumption and additional tax rebates. These factors have helped Belgium to make the cut; however, owing to a cut in the FiT, Belgium is predicted to lose its advantage in the coming years.
