Project: Irish Lights Headquarters, Specialist PV module system, Dun Laoghaire
The solar power system The PV system consists of thirty two clear glass PV modules and two IG30 inverters. The clear glass PV modules take the form of an array of semi-transparent bris-soleil that provide protection from solar glare/gain and generate electricity supplied directly to electricity circuits within the building. The IG30 inverters convert the DC output from the PV modules into high quality AC that is perfectly synchronized with the mains AC.
Reducing C02 The use of grid-connected PV to generate renewable electricity at, or close to, the point demand is one of the most dramatic and effective ways of reducing 2 emissions. This project is a small but important step in the direction of achieving real sustainability for the construction sector in Ireland.
