About us
irishsolar.net is our green web hosting name
Eirbyte Renewable Energy is our business name.
Eirbyte's office is off-grid (that means we do not have a connection to the national electricity grid), our power has been generated by solar PV panels and a wind turbine since 2001.
All the computer work we do, like typing this article and configuring web servers is done using 100% renewable energy. We were the first carbon neutral website in Ireland back in 2001 when eirbyte.com went live, despite others now claiming to be the first :) However that's what's called green washing and we are not about that.
We don't just play with computers all day - amongst other things we teach people how to make their own wind turbines, see Build-Your-Own-Wind-Turbine.com The turbine below is one that we made. And if you want your web site designed we also do that - ethicalspider.com
So that's us, I hope that we can help you make your internet presense a green and ethical one.
This is the solar array of three 185 watt PV panels that power our office but not so well when covered in snow :) They track the sun and were made in Germany by Solara.
And this is one of our wind turbines, it produces around 131 kWh a month and was made on one of our workshops
