Will Ireland put free solar panels on 4,000 schools?

A deep dive into Ireland's ambitious plan to put free solar panels on 4,000 schools. We explore the massive savings, the bureaucratic headaches, and what it means for Ireland's energy future.

Which battery energy storage systems are available in Ireland?

The Kylemore Battery Energy Storage System in Dublin went into operation in 2023 and has the capability of providing 30MW of fast-acting storage. The South Wall Battery Energy Storage System went live in 2023 and has the capability of providing 30MW of fast-acting energy storage.

How can schools benefit from a solar PV system?

The scheme will fund up to 6 kilowatts of roof-mounted solar PV, which equates to approximately 16 solar panels. 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.

What is the schools photovoltaic programme?

The Schools Photovoltaic Programme is, at its core, incredibly simple: 100% funding for a 6 kilowatt-peak (kWp) solar PV system. Let's pause for a second. “6 kilowatt-peak” sounds like something a nerdy Bond villain would say. What does it actually mean? Imagine a solar panel is a tiny, very lazy bodybuilder.
