Shannon Blueway and tourism-driven solar interest

The Shannon Blueway from Carrick-on-Shannon through Leitrim has boosted tourism in the county, with holiday homes, rental properties, and activity centres along the waterway. These seasonal-use properties are often unoccupied during winter but busy during summer, making solar economics slightly different. Owners of holiday rentals can offset high summer electricity use during peak generation months, while the property sits idle during low-generation winter periods, which actually improves self-consumption ratios.
