The largest number of jobs in the solar sector in Ireland are likely to be sustained in roof-top solar. This theme will detail developments in domestic and commercial roof-top areas. SEAI will describe the support mechanism available to roof-top projects of varying sizes. ISEA are seeking to have roof-top solar projects below 500kW exempt from planning requirements. In the absence of national standards, the Industry is seeking to implement its own set of basic standards to ensure a level of quality in the deployment of roof-top solar in Ireland. Finally, a national scheme of training for installers is to be launched in co-operation with Skillnet, ISEA and SEAI.
