I wish to confirm that 73 PV applications, rather than 129, were submitted on forms other than my Department’s official S198 form. Overall, these 73 forms were submitted by the following 14 PV installers:

Activ8 Engeries 51
Alternative Energy Ireland 2
Tadgh O'Keeffe & Sons 1
Ecowest Electrical & Energy Services Ltd 1
KM Electrical 1
Laois Electrical 1
Local Power Ltd 8
Nationwide Energy Solutions Ltd 1
NRG Panel 2
Solar Evolution Ltd 1
Sun Arc Solar Systems Ltd 1
Wizer Energy Ltd 1
Woodco Renewable Energy Ltd 1
Wyse Solar Solutions 1
Total 73

The technical forms which were submitted are produced by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), and are essentially the same as my Department's prescribed form, except for references to SEAI instead of TAMS. Both forms contain the same detail to allow my Department to make an informed decision on the application. All forms submitted are assessed by my Department's technical staff.
