Solar Water-Heating for Milking Parlours
Heating water for milking parlours is expensive. Barryroe Co-op can now supply and install solar panels and preheat solar cylinders for individual requirements
Why install solar in milking parlours?
Solar thermal is the
cleanest form of renewable energy; it is also economical, contributing
almost 90% of the milking parlour’s hot water requirements during the
summer milking season. Depending on your hot water demands, this solar
package currently has a payback period of 7 years approx. This will
become shorter when smart metering of electricity is brought in with ESB
costs rising during peak hours.
There are still 30% grants available
from Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI) for these installations and we
will gladly help with same.
