For the Love of ...Solar Schools
Please change the planning exemptions so that schools and community buildings can install solar panels, without the added expense of seeking planning permission.

We love Solar Power! It's clean, free and zero carbon, but in Ireland we have hardly any of it.
And the reason why has nothing to do with how much sun we get! It's because Ireland has unique rules that are designed to make installing solar panels REALLY hard. It is particularly hard for schools.
One of these rules is planning permission. Schools need planning permission to install even one solar panel. It's madness, and adds significant cost.
For years politicians have promised to change this. They even leaked a story to the papers in August, that they had done it! But they haven't.
Today, the change is in the hands of Minister Peter Burke.
Please email him today, and ask him to make good on the promise of many before him, for the Love of Solar.
