Meeting of Solar Meitheal on Monday December 16th at 7pm:We had a great turnout at the last meeting setting up the Kinvara and district Solar Meitheal at the end of which we have a group of 27 members interested in going ahead to install photovoltaic (PV) solar panels. We have now sent the names, contact numbers, and Eircodes to the 3 local PV contractors and we are expecting to get analysis done on a sample of quotes before the next meeting. So on the 16th we will have Dr Orla Nic Suibhne reporting the analysed results of the samples and giving us guidance on which is the most appropriate to sign up with.

Community members who did not attend the last meeting are welcome to attend and to see if they feel ready to go ahead with an application depending on what they learn. The date to keep in mind is the 31st December 2024 as if you are thinking of applying for the solar PV grant it will be reduced by 300 euros on that date,

There is no obligation on anyone to go ahead and you can use any of the installers when you are ready. Hopefully the analysis of the tenders will assist you in making that decision.
