Athboy Development Forum

🌞One week in and here’s what we are learning about solar🌞

Our solar panels have been working for just 7 days at Athboy Convent Community centre and the results are excellent.
We are now cutting costs and carbon with clean energy.

⚡Week 1 Snapshot (Picture 1)
719.45 kWh produced
417.77 kWh exported to the grid
278.64 kWh used onsite

⚡One Day : 26th August (Picture 2)
Almost 100% of our power came from solar and batteries today, with 50% sent back to the grid.

Picture 3: Our battery banks and inverters help store and balance energy for maximum efficiency.

Picture 4: The hall roof faces SW and there are 50 x 450watt panels here. The Kildalkey Road roofs are facing SE and there are 44 panels there.

As a community climate action project funded through Meath County Council, we’ll keep sharing insights so that other halls, sports centres, commercial buildings, businesses and individuals can learn from our journey and we will share data and insights from St James Hall also in a future post.

Big thanks to Patrick Craughan and SRS, a local business, for the installation and ongoing support, Paddy came on site this evening to walk us through the data from Week 1.
