This is the first in a series where we aim to learn more about Irish solar trends. Who are we talking to, is it a logical journey to what you do now? You're speaking to Morgan Pierce, the founder and CEO of SolarSmart. My journey to solar started with a passion for sustainability and a belief that solar energy should be accessible for everyone. I don't come from a typical engineering background, but I've always been driven by innovation and environmental impact. I founded the company in late 2020 as a result of seeing a gap in the Irish market for a customer-first approach to the solar energy market. So it's been a logical, if unconventional, path that led me here. Irish Solar Trends with Morgan Pierce, SolarSmart It looks like solar installations was something that gradually grew and evolved as a business for you - would this be a fair description of the evolution of your company? Absolutely. SolarSmart started small, with me, a vision, and commitment to help people understand the power and practicality of solar. It grew steadily through word of mouth, education and trust. We've now installed over 1,300 solar systems across Ireland. Our evolution reflects increasing awareness and increasing confidence in solar as a viable solution for Irish homes and businesses Does Ireland get as much / more / less solar than other countries in Europe? Ireland gets less solar irradiation compared to countries like Spain or Italy, but it's still very viable here. A little known fact is that solar panels produce more electricity in temperatures of 25 celsius and lower! So, combined with our very long summer days and temperate climate, solar production in summer creates significant credit on your electricity bill which you take into the winter to offset when the solar is not as productive. Plus, thanks to advancements in panel technology, even on cloudy days, panels generate significant energy. Germany has a very successful solar industry with similar sunlight levels to Ireland. The key is designing each system specifically for the Irish climate, which is something we specialise in at SolarSmart. How much energy does a typical three bed house need, and therefore how many panels, batteries and kit would they need? A typical three bed house in Ireland uses on average 4,500 kWh per year. A well-designed solar system for a home like this would typically include 10 panels. This system size also allows homeowners to avail of the maximum SEAI solar PV grant of €1,800. Adding a battery, usually 5 or 10 kWh in capacity allows you to store surplus energy for use at night. A hot water immersion diverter also helps maximise your self-consumption and reduce your bills. What are the approximate costs for this, and the payback period? The approximate cost for a fully installed 4kWp residential system including 10 panels, an inverter and a 5kW battery is €8,600. This is after the SEAI grant. The payback period depends on the home's energy usage and system size, but it typically falls between 4 and 6 years. Have these costs come down as solar panel technology has improved? Yes, significantly. Over the past decade, the cost of solar panels has dropped more than 70%, while efficiency has increased. Batteries have also become more affordable and efficient, helping homeowners use more of their own solar energy. This trend in battery affordability is likely to continue as global demand and battery innovation improves. What tips would you give to people thinking of installing solar? Talk to a reputable installer who will design a system to match your energy needs. Look for an SEAI-registered installer, check out their online reviews, e.g. on Trustpilot, and ask questions. Our installation teams are employees; this is also key. Finally, a solid solar partner is not pushy and prioritises education and transparency. What might the future look like in Ireland in terms of people going off the grid? Full off-grid living is still niche in Ireland due to our climate and i...

Letters from Elizabeth Carrie Pierce Have you ever experienced a sudden life change that involved losing someone you love? I know many people who have been married for 30, 40, 45 years and then, one of them passes away. That can be a lonely, very lonely road for the surviving spouse to travel. Our guest today has cofounded a publishing house that caters to authors who want to know their conservative or traditional values will not be censored or changed. Morgan Pierce Media and Publishing Company, in addition to catering to authors of children's book with wholesome stories that everyone can enjoy – also has a very special subscription newsletter service. It is called, “Letters from Elizabeth.” These letters are sent out to subscribers every two weeks, to women over the age of 50, who suddenly find themselves alone. These letters are full of stories, insights, tips and recommendations for special products and also have thought provoking quotes, quips and a good recipe every now and then. Amen! This sounds like the perfect gift for someone whom you may know that is lonely right now…suffering right now… needing something like this – right now. Amen! Help me welcome to the program, Carrie Pierce, co-director of Morgan Pierce Media and Publishing Company. She is also an author herself, having published the children's book “Abby Apple Tree” and others. Carrie, it is such a blessing to have you on the program today! I love what you're doing here… but before we get into that, let's start with this question first. Other than that brief information, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Carrie Pierce?” You have been writing for over 20 years. How and why did you get started doing what you do now with Morgan Pierce? What kind of services does your publishing company offer? What kind of authors do you serve? Both men and women? I want to jump into this letter service, “Letters from Elizabeth.” Explain the reasoning why you started this subscription service and who does it serve? I briefly went over some of the content in the letters during the introduction. Can you share more? If someone reaches out to you, wanting to subscribe to “Letters from Elizabeth,” Is there a vetting process…? How do you vet them to make sure of their age, etc.? I read some of the great testimonies you received. Can you give us an overview of what most of them have to say? Your publishing company boldly declares that you do not edit or suppress conservative or traditional views. Why do you believe that is important to share with those coming to visit your website? What is the typical author demographic that wants to work with

The 5 to 8 Shift with Susannah McMonagle, a podcast for parents
We did something a little different for this episode - and we really like the way it turned out! Instead of interviewing a parent with a great story or some valuable tips for parenthood - we decided to look at the other side of the equation. We asked five young adults to share their perspectives on their parents, family life, technology, and so much more. In this episode, Susannah interviews five of her students from Eastern University, including: Claudia Glover, Morgan Pierce, Darryl MacKey, Stephen Sattanino, and Milan Sharma. Parents will find this episode valuable because these young adults share some important pieces of the adolescent experience that may make parents pause and consider what they are being intentional about in their parenthood journey. We discuss things parents worry about that they don't need to, what role technology (namely social media) has played in their self identity, the impact of distracted parenting, and the best values instilled in them by their parents. This conversation is both light-hearted and thought-provoking - reminding parents that most of us are doing much better than we think. Connect with Us!

Welcome to Explicit Intelligence, an original series brought to you by the Channel Of Kool. Co-hosted by Mizterkool, Ms. Begine and Miss Maddie Monroe. Explicit Intelligence Focuses on various topics and welcomes different perspectives And objective dialogue. Visual Edit Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzmelHVm7H8&t=183s In this episode, Join Team EI as they discuss Viral Youtube couple De'arra and Ken and the recent cheating controversy. De'arra Taylor and Ken Walker are a popular YouTube couple, collectively known as ‘De'arra & Ken 4 Life' on Youtube. Fans were shocked when a video of Ken Walker seemingly cozying up to another woman–who's not his fiancee De'arra– hit the internet. Ken was spotted out in these streets with a woman in a parking lot. In the video, Ken is seen slightly touching the girl's booty. DK4L fans quickly started researching to find more out on The mystery women in the video which turned out to be Instagram Model Morgan Pierce. The plot thickens, as this woman is married, and the husband, Elijah Pierce put her on blast for not seeing their daughter in weeks. Adding to that, the husband says he is divorcing her. “I met the girl an hour before that video at the lounge because we were all in the same area celebrating the same thing,” Ken explains. “We had a BRIEF introduction in the lounge which started by her saying ‘hey, I know who you are'. She wasn't the first person nor the last to say that to me and everybody around me knows that.” Ken goes on to explain that they all left the lounge and “there was zero flirting involved.” In addition to Ken's apology, Morgan Pierce also issued an apology of her own. She corroborated Ken's story that they never flirted, and made it clear that she's not trying to get in the middle of Ken and De'arra's relationship. “Lemme start by apologizing to Ken and De'arra. Had no type intentions of ruining a relationship. We were literally in the club, everyone left at the same time,” Morgan began in her post “We had a very brief conversation, we were not flirting,” Pierce clarified. “We have not had any conversation before or after the video came out. In the video, we hugged and then he touched my butt,” she admitted. “If you continue to watch, I stepped back and leaned on the car. I was not rubbing on him. I didn't go home with him didn't even go to his car,” Morgan added. Many feel that De'arra could flourish with a Youtube show of her own. Rihanna added De'arra to her growing list of Savage x Fenty ambassadors. Viral YouTuber and influencer De'arra Taylor of De'arra & Ken 4 Life announced December 2019 that she too is now a representative of the exploding lingerie brand. Also discussed in this episode is the recent relationship twists of Cardi B and Offset. Cardi B filed for divorce and asked for "primary physical custody" of the couple's two-year-old daughter, Kulture. Only to rekindle their romance during Cardi B's 28th birthday celebrations.
