If you see a job that needs doing..
Solar panels greatly depend on the orientation and the angle to the sun at various times of the year. Then shade from trees, etc. Houses and roofs were never thought of to be facing the optimum direction and have the best pitch of roof for panels.
Are you “working” today?????
Takes me an awful long time to change position on things.
We need to have a proper military force on the island. The days of being neutral are surely behind us.
The EU needs to stand strong and let the US take its troops out of Europe and step up with its own forces, including Irish troops. Russia is greatly weakened so we would be starting on an equal capability anyway if we do it now. We can’t have a weak US president thinking he can bully us with the threat of withdrawing US troops.
I have 18 x 455w panels, they were producing 500w 2 days ago when it was overcast, the guy that installed it was actually at the house at the time, he logged on to his system and showed me numerous other houses at the same time that were producing less than ours, I do think it’s bad to be honest but hopefully make up for it in the good weather
“Doss from home” is real old school thinking. Similar ideas think your not working if your not getting dirty and giving yourself a hernia lifting mad heavy stuff all day.
I look at it different. It’s raining here right now and producing 400w, that’s more than covering the background consumption in the house and a bit towards hot water. Is that rubbish ??
I think it’s really good considering it’s raining.
that’s good to hear, mine are only up a week, producing very little on overcast days, their sales line that you don’t need sun and it only needs to be bright is rubbish anyway
I love how you post about things you’ve no experience of with such confidence. Tell me how many farmers drive to work or do they “doss from home”?
We got 16 panels in Jan-24, we’ve reduced our power spend down to 1/3 compared to previous year. Now, some of that is due to lower prices but panels seem a good investment.
No problems in recent storm so they are robust. 25 year warranty on the hardware.
I'm not sure what you think will happen, The tariffs will just be passed onto the cobsumer.
Scur horns. Common enough in 'polled' cattle. She carries a horned gene but doesn't express it correctly.
We had a few of those over the years. I think some sneaky breeding went on in Canada before they closed the herdbook to give AAs a bit of size. Usually come to nothing, unless if they are pedigree cattle. Do you know the sire of the bull?
Will the old jobs even be there. The guys that think that they can doss from home might be very happy to drive to work
There's 60 large solar panels gone on the roof of the village hall here. They must be growing something in there.
Had two calves here last year out of a polled CH bull, one had no sign of any horns, the other had little butts of loose horns about half an inch long like you describe, it does happen sometimes apparently but they won’t grow afaik. Some people call them scurs I think.
There was 8 kw today at dinner time but it went down very quick after that

You would have to wonder what damage this will do to irish economy,
You could not see many new jobs in pharmaceutical companies next year
there’s f all power generated when the sun isn’t shining, definitely not when it’s anyway overcast anyway
Its a strange one, I have an AAX heifer here 12 months old out of a dairy cow. I would have thought she'd be polled but she's growing butts of horns.
The strange thing is they seem to be loose / movable. Never seen the like before, has anyone else??
I got 22 solar panels put on a shed roof today, hopefully it does everything it says on the tin, we got a battery as well as we've got an electric aga, so we need power when the sun isn't shining,
Time will tell,
That's who I had in mind, thanks 👍
Used Aisling for the farm transfer. Very good and reasonable priced
Aisling Meehan if you are in the Midwest.
Anyone recommend a sharp agri solicitor from experience? I have one but I can't get in touch for love nor money.
Old enough to know better
12 going on 11 😂
isn’t he 75 or something ridiculous.
What age is he?
They are trying to push through a bill so he can run for a third term, it will only apply to a third non connective term and their biggest issue getting it through is it needs a two thirds majority. He will be the only living president that can avail of it.
I'll never forget that interview. Who did they take us for..... two gombeens.
Did ye see the salary of the Cheann Comhairle and Leas Cheann Comhairle.... it's absolutely criminal.
