@codohertynews Given the lack of sun in Ireland it’s doubtful these will ever make up for the carbon impact of their manufacture.

@codohertynews Any reason why these aren’t used on bog lands instead of wind farms?

@codohertynews I wonder what's the carbon footprint of the solar panels, lifespan and are they recyclable ?

@codohertynews Only a nerdy paid scientist would insist this looks good , let’s not mention its lack of efficiency on a cloudy day 🧐

@codohertynews All recyclable. "It is possible to recycle all crystalline silicon PV modules, regardless of manufacturer and origin." A German consortium led by Fraunhofer ISE has developed (PERC) solar cells made w silicon recycled from end-of-life photovoltaic panels. Excellent.

@codohertynews We should not be carpeting green fields with solar panels or concrete. These should be on factories and houses and brownfield sites.

@codohertynews Sitting on good agricultural land by the looks of it. Probably good enough for tillage like sugar beet so we could be independent of sugar imports, but heck let’s cover farmland with panels .
