Polluting Solid Fuels Banned By Winter 2022!

Solar Panels Or Solid Fuel? Lets compare what both have to offer you!

A nationwide ban is imminent on all smoky solid fuel including coal, wood, peat briquettes and all manufactured solid fuel products.

Domestic solid fuel users and suppliers are set to be sternly served with regulations which will ensure that most polluting solid fuels currently available will very soon, no longer be so and those that are will be tightly regulated.

Nearing imminent completion, the specific criterion for this economic initiative is set to be in place within the next twelve months.

Minister for the environment, Eamon Ryan assuredly says he is promptly issuing the announcement now so it will allocate ample time to allow current suppliers adjust and invest in less polluting fuel options.

According to an RTE report there are merely 42 Towns across the land where smoky coal cannot be typically purchased but, outside of these unique places, it is possible to eagerly buy the highly polluting solid fuel.

However, burning coal does not represent the sole culprit and the comprehensive ban plus other restrictions will rigorously apply to all related products including wood, peat briquettes and all manufactured solid fuel products.

The notable figures which have been promptly announced means there will now be a legislative requirement on all of the above to emit less than ten grams of noxious smoke per hour whilst being burned. This precise figure is also set to decrease to yet an even more precise number of just five grams by 2025. 

To begin with, lets understand fine particulate matter.

Solar Panels Ireland

Naturally occurring and man-made, particulate matter or (PM) is the specific term given to very small and microscopical liquid and solid particles that suspend in the atmosphere when they become airborne.

Precisely defined by their corresponding numbers 10 and 2.5, both are measured in microns. PM 10 refers to particle matter that is 10 or less microns.

To put it into perspective, ten of these microns could be laid out across the width of a human hair while in the case of PM 2.5 it’s 40 microns! 

Under the guidelines from the World Health Organisation and playing its role in the Cleaner Air for Europe Directive, the Environmental Protection Agency monitors theses particle matters very closely.

Implications of particulate matter on the human body

 Particles 2.5 or less have the destructive capability to penetrate acutely deep into the lungs. During this awful process they aggravate and erode the alveolar wall inevitably leading to the likely probability of functional impairment of the lungs amongst a host of other health issues.

Following two decades of epidemiological studying on the negative association of fine particle pollution and respiratory morbidity and mortality, the findings were consequential and significant according to a peer-reviewed publication regarding the adverse impact of PM2.5 on the human respiratory system. It cites that a comprehensive report from the last century suggests that PM2.5 decreased the average lifespan by 8.6 months.

The Elite Fusion 2 complete solar panel system

Our Elite Fusion 2 complete solar system supplies everything you naturally need in one package allowing you instant capability to generate and store free electricity which can then be redirected around your home for later use.

Your free electricity is powered by German manufactured Solarwatt glass on glass solar panels and the system further utilises highly efficient and technologically intelligent electric radiators which are also of German manufacturing. They require 12 to 15 minutes of heating and in return give back 45 minutes of heat retention. They are also esthetically beautiful and can be installed in almost any location due to the flexibility of the product.

What makes the new SigenStor Neo different from previous battery storage systems?

The SigenStor Neo is an all-in-one residential energy platform that integrates five core components—the PV inverter, battery, power conversion system (PCS), energy management system (EMS), and gateway—into a single, compact unit. Powered by SigenAgent AI through the mySigen App 4.0, it automatically optimizes battery usage based on electricity pricing and weather forecasts while offering true 0ms uninterruptible backup during grid blackouts.

How does the 0ms backup feature work during a power outage?

Unlike conventional backup systems that experience a brief delay or flicker when grid power fails, Sigenergy’s 0ms switchover functions like a commercial-grade Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Connected household circuits retain instant, continuous power, keeping critical appliances, Wi-Fi routers, and electronics running without interruption.

Are Sigenergy products suitable for Ireland’s rainy and cold climate?

Yes. Sigenergy systems feature an industry-leading IP66 ingress protection rating, making them fully dust-tight and resistant to heavy rain and harsh weather. This complete waterproofing allows systems to be safely installed outdoors or in unheated garages across Ireland without risk of weather damage.

How does an AI-powered battery storage system like Sigenergy SigenStor save money?

AI-powered battery systems evaluate real-time weather forecasts and household usage history to predict energy production and consumption. During winter or cloudy periods, the system automatically buys cheap electricity from the grid during off-peak night hours and releases it during peak daytime hours, minimizing your unit rates.

Ready to Future-Proof Your Energy?

Whether you are looking to lower household electricity bills, secure back-up power, or transition your commercial premises to renewable energy, the future of solar is already here.
