Ministers Eamon Ryan and Simon Coveney confirmed on Tuesday that Government intends amending the Non-domestic Microgeneration Scheme run by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland to extend supports to a wider range of businesses. SEAI will offer grants ranging from €2,700 to €162,200 to aid businesses in installing solar panels, which could fund anything from corner shops to factories, according to a statement.

The move could cut up to 30 per cent off the cost to a business of installing solar power, the Government added. It calculates the scheme could cost €15 million in 2023.
