It will support PV installations for small and large businesses
Ireland's climate and trade ministers will today ask the Cabinet to sign off on generous solar grants for businesses of up to €162,500.
The aim of the tiered grant scheme, which is understood to range from €2,700 up to €162,500, is to help firms decarbonise.If passed, it will hugely enhance the range of supports available for the installation of solar PV and associated smart energy infrastructure for a wide range of commercial and public sector non-residential buildings.
"The grants will come into effect quickly so that businesses can install solar panels early to offset energy costs."Up to now, grants for solar PV have been capped at 6KWp, or about 16 PV panels, more suited to domestic houses and farms. This means that businesses which may have wanted to install 7KWp, for example, received no grant whatsoever.
