Marine Institute HQ Install Solar Panels

With 783 solar panels already running on the building's roof in Oranmore, up to 292,000 kilowatts of sustainable electricity can be produced annually.

One residential unit of electricity is equal to one kilowatt, and the average Irish home uses about 5,000 units annually.

The headquarters building's team has worked together to reduce energy consumption by 41% since 2015.

The Marine Institute is now generating onsite renewable energy having installed two solar PV rooftop systems. ☀️♻️
