Event Description Ireland's public sector are tasked to lead by example and are working to achieve ambitious energy efficiency and decarbonisation targets. Rooftop solar PV features in many public sector project pipelines due to its financial feasibility, minimum O&M requirements, and emissions reduction potential. The best practice workshop has been curated for public bodies who are interested in learning from industry experts and their peers about solar PV technology and the practical considerations for desiging and delivering projects for their own buildings.
