It’s January in Ireland in the middle of winter - now our Solar Panels are supplying all the power needed for our house and even exporting a little to the grid. In 2021 the system generated a total of 3000kWh of renewable electricity meeting about half of our power needs and all our hot water needs.
Until 1984 basking sharks were hunted to near oblivion off the west coast for their liver oil- 1,600 were killed in 1951 alone. Thanks to conservation efforts however this species is thriving again.
