The 2017 Solar Ireland conference of the Irish Solar Energy Assocation (ISEA) proved to be a highlight in the solar calendar for networking and education. The 2018 event will be even bigger and host an array of first class speakers with sessions including RESS/policy, market, grid, finance, community. In addition, due to industry demand, we have added 2 new sessions around data centres and commercial rooftops.
New microgeneration scheme
July also saw an announcement of a new micro generation scheme to support domestic customers who install solar PV panels on their homes to be administered by SEAI. This pilot scheme will support the installation of solar PV panels for the generation and self-consumption of renewable electricity. The systems will be grant aided and there will be additional grants available to those who install battery storage to capture the electricity they generate for use later.
Special installer event 27th November
To support this initiative, ISEA are excited to announce a one-day installer event (27th November) which will run in parallel to the main event and cover topics such as market, rooftop and storage, standards, training, manufacturing and installation. We expect this event to provide an invaluable opportunity for installers to understand the industry opportunity and what is needed to ensure solar success. In addition, installers will have the opportunity to network with developers, manufacturers, policy advisors and other major players during refreshment breaks.
Over two days you will hear from industry experts from home and abroad, across the supply chain, on how a successful solar industry in Ireland will be transformative in job creation and investment. Solar Ireland will be a virtual roadmap to where the opportunities and challenges are. (HCN)
