Kilculliheen takes the title of best place in Kilkenny - for one very niche reason!
A total of 113 locations within County Kilkenny were captured in the study
Kilculliheen is a district in the very south of County Kilkenny, located between Ferrybank and Belview Port and flanked by the Suir Estuary.
It has made headlines in recent weeks for one very specific reason - it's the 'Best Place in Kilkenny' for solar (according to a recent study by NRG Panel).
A total of 113 locations within County Kilkenny were captured in the study and calculations account for weather conditions, solar radiation, along with many other factors for each area.
With potential to produce 4,172.43 kWh p/y, Kilculliheen takes the title of 'Best Place in Kilkenny' for solar, followed closely behind by Rathpatrick (4,171.81 kWh) and Dunkitt (4,143.49 kWh).
At the opposite end of the table are Moneenroe (3,653.76 kWh), Castlecomer (3,661.96 kWh) and Clogh (3,673.58 kWh).
The results of NRG Panel’s Solar Panels Kilkenny study show that, with a 4 kWp system and a unit rate of 43 cents, Kilkenny residents produce €1,640.56 worth of electricity p/y from solar, on average.
