Who are Solar Electric?
Solar Electric are based in Killane Co. Wexford and was founded in 2011 by entrepreneur Tom Foley. In a conversation with friend and business contact from UK, Robert Goss, he learned about the evolution of renewable energy – Solar PV. The use of Solar Panels for domestic and commercial electricity production had been tried and tested in Germany for some time and recent advancements in the technology had led to a boom in the UK industry. The rapid expansion in the UK market and clear market niche available in Ireland spoke to Tom’s entrepreneurial spirit and Solar Electric was born.

Yes, there used to be a covered bridge between Enfield and Suffield. (Enfield Historical Society)
ENFIELD, CT Hard to picture this nowadays, but for nearly a century, there was a covered bridge spanning the Connecticut River from Enfield to Suffield, at the bottom of Bridge Lane (hence its name). This postcard from the Enfield Historical Society shows the wooden structure sometime in the 1800s; the story of the bridge and its spectacular demise is amazing.
Pages 14 and 15 of a great book of photographs from the 1880s through 1950s, entitled Images of America: Enfield Connecticut, details the construction of the original uncovered bridge in 1808, its collapse in 1821, and completion of the replacement span, depicted above, in 1832.
