'Trinity Island Lodge', a luxury holiday home on a lake island in County Cavan, gets its power mainly from solar electric (PV) panels and a wind generator.
Solar panels with a peak output of 1.8kW and a 1kW wind generator charge a 24V, 1800Ah battery bank. Two inverters rated 2.5kW each turn the battery power to standard 230VAC electricity. In prolonged dull-and-calm weather or in case of excessive usage, a Diesel generator starts automatically providing electricity as well as charging the battery bank.
