Target every farm building to have solar panels, Oireachtas committee recommends

In the report, the committee said it believes a “complex regulatory framework” has led to a “lack of transparency” in the levels of adoption.

The report says increased installation of solar panels would progress towards reaching the 2030 emissions reduction targets set out for the country to achieve.

Solar panels on the roof of every farm building in Ireland is the key recommendation of an Oireachtas committee in a report published today.

The recommendation has been made in the Oireachtas committee on agriculture, food and the marine’s report on solar energy and the agriculture industry.
