276. Deputy Arthur Spring asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the maximum amount of kw hours that a commercial building including farm building is allowed to produce from photovoltaic panels; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28954/13]
View answerThere is no legal or regulatory limit on the amount of electricity that may be generated within a commercial or farm building from solar photovoltaic panels. However, if electricity is to be exported to the electricity network, the installation must export power in accordance with the conditions set out in the premises connection agreement with either the Distribution System Operator (DSO), ESB Networks, or the Transmission System Operator (TSO), EirGrid, as appropriate.
