Solar energy information event

Residents across South Kildare have an opportunity to learn more about greener home energy systems at a special community energy event focusing on solar power later this month, writes Brian Byrne. The Solas and Savings event will take place in Athy Library on Saturday, 21 March, from 11:30am to 2:30pm. 

The event will provide clear, practical information on how solar panels work, the potential cost savings, and the steps involved in installing solar PV systems at home.

Organisers say the session is designed for anyone curious about solar energy — whether they are just starting to explore their options or are already considering an installation.

The day will include an SEAI Grants Presentation on support for solar PV installations and other home energy upgrades. Experts will also outline how community solar purchase schemes work and how bulk buying can significantly reduce the cost of installing solar panels.

A number of suppliers will be on hand to showcase solar technologies and other renewable energy solutions, answer questions, and provide guidance tailored to individual circumstances.

The event is supported by Life Credit Union and the Sustainable Energy Communities programme, and is hosted by the Kildare Climate Action Office.
