SCHOOL SOLAR PV
SEAI GRANT
The government has recently announced a programme to install Solar PV in most schools throughout Ireland. Solar PV helps lessen the reliance on other sources of energy as well as being better for the environment, and saving money in the process. It is a great opportunity to avail of the grant and prepare for a brighter, greener future for students and staff alike.
We would be delighted to provide you with a quotation for your school, and a site survey to ensure that we get the perfect install for your needs.

Why Solar PV For Schools?
Will help Reduce School Energy Bills and Cut Carbon Emissions
Will help Education Sector to meet Emissions Reduction Targets
Allows unused solar energy to feed into the grid when schools are closed.
Solar for Schools Programme
The scheme will be funded from the Government’s Climate Action Fund, in line with the Government’s recognition that taking action on climate change is central to Ireland’s social and economic development.
The scheme will assist schools in reducing their energy costs and their carbon footprint as part of the response to meeting the 2030 and 2050 Climate Action Plan targets for the schools sector.
The solar PV panels in schools will also be connected to the electricity grid, so that the schools can generate income by powering other homes and businesses with clean energy when schools are closed at weekends and during school holidays.
Monitoring software will also be provided to each school, to allow review and discussion of the energy generated each day for staff and students.
