The solar system will provide nearly all the hot water required from March to October, which is nearly in line with most spring calving herds.

Here are the guide prices for systems, which include stainless steel tanks, all solar pipe work, aluminium specially designed frames to suit different roof angles and fully installed. All the electrical work is completed in compliance with dairy standards.

Ideally your sheds should be facing south, however the tubes can be tilted 15 degrees either way to gain more from any given direction. 

We are an Irish company using only the most efficient tubes and highest quality materials. The job will take approx 1.5 days to complete.

There are many benefits of installing solar water heating systems:

1. Reduce your impact on the environment. Solar power has a carbon footprint of exactly zero so this is a prime solar power benefit and one of the main advantages of solar power. By installing solar water heating panels, you will demonstrate your commitment to protecting the climate, by sustainably lowering CO2 emissions.
2. Save money on your bills. In addition to helping the environment when you install solar panels, you'll be saving money on your hot water bills.
3. Reconnect your house to the world around it.
4. Harvest the suns abundant energy.
5. Make a better return on your money then leaving it in the bank.
6. Do your bit to make the world a healthier place.

If you want to enjoy the solar power benefits that will help both you and the planet get started today with MP Solar Systems.

"A measure of the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions of a defined population, system or activity, considering all relevant sources, sinks and storage within the spatial and temporal boundary of the population, system or activity of interest. Calculated as carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) using the relevant 100-year global warming potential (GWP100)."

Greenhouse gases can be emitted through transport, land clearance, and the production and consumption of food, fuels, manufactured goods, materials, wood, roads, buildings, and services. For simplicity of reporting, it is often expressed in terms of the amount of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent of other GHGs, emitted.

The concept name of the carbon footprint originates from ecological footprint discussion. The carbon footprint is a subset of the ecological footprint and of the more comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

An individual's, nations, or organi measured by undertaking a GHG emissions assessment. Once the size of a carbon footprint is known, a strategy can be devised to reduce it, e.g. by technological developments, better process and product management, changed Green Public or Private Procurement (GPP), carbon capture, consumption strategies, and others.

The mitigation of carbon footprints through the development of alternative projects, such as SOLAR ENERGY, wind energy or reforestation, represents one way of reducing a carbon footprint and is often known as Carbon offsetting.

The main influences on carbon footprints include population, economic output, and energy and carbon intensity of the economy. These factors are the main targets of individuals and businesses in order to decrease carbon footprints. Scholars suggest the most effective way to decrease a carbon footprint is to either decrease the amount of energy needed for production or to decrease the dependence on carbon emitting fuels.

MP Solar offers solar energy solutions for Domestic, Commercial, Public Sectors and Sport Clubs.

By installing a solar water heating system you will:
