This initiative, part of a €50 million climate action scheme, will offer all primary and secondary schools in Ireland the opportunity to receive free solar panels.
Invited schools must register for the programme and receive confirmation of eligibility before seeking quotations for the works. Tendering contractors will provide quotations directly to the schools who in turn will
The Irish Government''s Climate Action Plan 2021 set out the need for an energy storage policy for Ireland to support 75% reduction in power sector CO2 emissions by 2030.
The awarding of 63 contracts to solar projects, totalling over 1,000MW (767.3 GWh), during the 2020 RESS-1 auction marked the first major move of solar farms into Ireland''s renewable energy mix and represented a
As Ireland continues its journey towards a cleaner, more sustainable energy future, Budget 2025 offers a critical opportunity to advance the nation''s solar ambitions. The Irish Solar Energy Association (ISEA) recently
"The fundamentals for storage are really strong in Ireland, because we''re a relatively isolated system on the periphery of Europe. As we get to 2030 and Ireland starts building lots of offshore wind and our solar

In Ireland, where the government has set a 2030 target of 8 GW of solar PV capacity, the solar sector is playing a vital role in meeting this goal. Despite the challenges
Specifically, Ireland has set targets to achieve the deployment of 9 GW of onshore wind, 8 GW of solar PV and at least 5 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030. Beyond
Connection to the grid will be included, to allow unused solar energy to feed to the grid when schools are closed. This will enable schools to be compensated for renewable energy exports to the grid. Monitoring software will also be provided to each school, to allow review and discussion of the energy generated each day for staff and students.
The new scheme will fund up to 6 kilowatts of roof-mounted solar PV for all eligible schools. This also includes connection to the grid and a monitoring and display screen. The Solar Panels for Schools Programme is aimed at heating schools in a more affordable manner with over €50 million announced in funding.,
The schools solar panels grant covers: Up to 6kW of Solar PV – Installation of approx. 14 solar PV panels as well as all associated electrical components – inverter, isolators, cabling etc., in order to enable safe connection to the school’s main distribution board.
The amount saved by each school will vary, but to illustrate, a school equipped with a 6 kW solar PV system could potentially see annual savings between €1,200 and €1,600. This calculation takes into account the revenue earned from feeding surplus energy back into the grid.
Invited school authorities will be provided with funding approval from the Department of Education to enter a contract following a competitive tender process for the provision of a solar PV system. This system will have to be designed, installed, and commissioned by a contractor, listed on the SEAI Non-Domestic Micro-Generator (NDMG) company list.
Up to 6kW of Solar PV – Installation of approx. 14 solar PV panels as well as all associated electrical components – inverter, isolators, cabling etc., in order to enable safe connection to the school’s main distribution board. Minor Enabling Works – Modifications such as connection to the main electrical distribution board may also be funded.
