Mr. Rory Somers:

The microgeneration support scheme is offering grants for domestic solar PV. Within the next couple of months, that will be extended to the non-domestic sector, including schools and community organisations, as a single measure. It will be an upfront capital grant towards the cost of solar PV up to 6 kW.

Regarding schools specifically, there are guidelines in place from the Department of Education limiting the size of solar PV installations. If I am correct, the maximum size for a primary school is 2 kW and 4 kW for a secondary school. We understand that these limits may be subject to review by the Department of Education in the context of revisions and requirements under REPowerEU to accelerate the deployment of renewables. If schools want larger systems and can fund them, there will be an opportunity in future to get the clean export premium tariff, which will be between 6 kW and 50 kW.
