The volatile economics of the growing solar power market, along with arguments across Europe about the role of subsidies, have chilled attitudes to investment, not only in Ireland but also in those parts of Europe with markedly sunnier climates.

The Government’s newly announced incentives encourages homeowners to install solar panels and a battery storage kit is a one small step on the road to a serious renewable energy programme.
