I've done this for two years with no sign of rats. All food waste mixed outside in garden with leaves == nice wormy compost. All food packaging stored and recycled every month at local centre for ten euro with meagre black bin bag, roughly 120 for annual waste with no dumpy bins to haul around. I don't garden but I enjoy minimising my environmwntal waste costs!

We've been working on an arcade hurling/camogie game for a few months.

Was this renamed or wha?

I got solar quotes last year and they were all over the place, so I started collecting what other people were quoted (anonymously). There are 160+ now from around the country, mostly from the last few months.

What stood out:

* Typical price is about €1,400 per kWp after the grant

* About 1 in 5 quotes are 25%+ above that

* The boards.ie rule of thumb (€1,000 per kWp + €200 per kWh of battery, after grant) holds up well. The typical quote is only about 8% over it

* Small systems cost more per kWp. Scaffolding, inverter and labour cost about the same for 10 panels or 20

* Big batteries cost noticeably more per kWp than mid-size ones, so it's worth asking if you actually need the 16 kWh they're suggesting

Caveat: these are quotes people shared themselves, so they're not verified. Odd-looking ones get held for a check before they count.

Full disclosure, I built the site that collects them: [fairwatt.ie](https://fairwatt.ie). Free, no ads, not linked to any installer. You can check your own quote there or add yours anonymously.

Curious what others have been quoted recently, and did you go for a big battery or not?
