    Your best bet would be to look up the sustainable energy ireland website i think it is www.sei.ie but there are definitely lots of grants available for start ups looking to get into the green energy market and green technologies. You should make a right go for this.

    Hi,

    A couple of months ago I won the Boards.ie competition run by the ESB, who have a section on this site. I got a voucher for ESB on line shop.
    I bought some Solar Powered lighting for the back garden. I would have to say I was very impressed, The Solar Panels are small, but the brightness of the lights , and length of time you get out of a charge is great.

    You done need direct sun as the units will charge in normal daylight.

    Solar Power is based off daylight and not sunlight like for instance when you get sun burned on a cloudy day. Solar Power is a great way to heat your water during the months April to October, which would save you alot if you have immerssion heating.(I sound like a green)
