(TOP LEFT) Shown above is a standard installation of our 22-tube evacuated tube set in sunny, clear weather conditions. These conditions allow direct sunlight and are ideal for all types of solar collection.
(TOP RIGHT) Even on cloudy days Solarlink works efficiently to ensure your domestic hot water requirements are met.
(BOTTOM RIGHT) Even in extreme weather conditions Solarlink is not affected in terms of performance. Frost and snow will not deplete the efficiency ensuring your hot water needs are met all year round.

About Irish Weather and SolarLink
On their website, Met Eirrean have an apt description of the levels of sunshine Ireland receives per annum compared to the rest of the World:
"Ireland normally gets between 1400 and 1700 hours of sunshine each year. The eastern Sahara Desert, however, which is the sunniest place in the world, gets an average of 4300 hours a year. Irish skies are completely covered by cloud well over half the time. This in turn is due to our geographical position off the northwest of Europe, close to the path of Atlantic low pressure systems which tend to keep us in humid, cloudy airflows for much of the time. 1887 was the sunniest summer in the 100 years from 1881 to 1980, according to measurements made at the Phoenix Park in Dublin. A more recent summer, 1980 was the dullest. The difference was considerable, with the summer of 1887 being twice as sunny as that of 1980.."
To make the picture even bleaker in terms of solar collection, the Irish Film and Television Network (IFTN) tells us that in 2006, Ireland enjoyed a peak average of 6.1 hours of direct sunlight in May and made do with an absolute low of 1.7 hours in December. Here then, is the reason that many people cannot help but smile politely at the thought of Solar Technology ever taking off in Ireland. So...
Q. Is Solar a viable source of renewable energy in Ireland?
A. yes - but everything depends on the type of solar technology that you are using.
SolarLink will work all-year round because the system employs evacuated tube solar panels as opposed to flat panel solar panels. Due to their rounded design evacuated tubes will catch the sun's rays from sunrise to sunset - irrespective of whether those rays reach the Earth as direct or indirect sunlight - enabling solid performance levels all year round, even in Ireland. |
