Dr. Fergus Sharkey:

We work with the National Standards Authority of Ireland, NSAI, and our colleagues in the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to target where standards are needed. This is why we have a national standard for domestic buildings. There are no plans with regard to solar PV installation in non-domestic buildings. We engage with the NSAI extensively on IS 10101:2020, which is what was called the wiring rules. We looked at where there were gaps in this. Again this has to be harmonised at European level. We have been bringing in a lot of harmonised standards throughout Europe. There are some gaps in standards and some reliance on our code of practice, which is not a formal standard.
