The new range of installation sizes - greater than 6 kWp up to 1,000 kWp (1 MW) capacity - will cover a variety of non-domestic businesses, from small local shops up to large manufacturing facilities. It will also be available for public buildings, sports clubs and community organisations.
The existing Non-Domestic Microgeneration Scheme is operated by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI). The enhanced pilot scheme supports are estimated to cost up to €15 million in 2023. Installations of up to 1MW could be eligible for a grant of up to €162,600
