About this episode

The episode discusses the growth of solar energy in Ireland and the challenges the sector faces.

Solar power has gone from being a niche technology to one of the fastest-growing parts of Ireland’s energy landscape. But as the sector expands, there are big questions around investment, grid capacity, planning, and whether Ireland has the infrastructure needed to make the most of this renewable resource. So, to look at the future of solar in Ireland, Bobby is joined by three people working across the industry: ● Morgan Pierce, CEO of Solar Smart ● Declan Cullinane as Managing Director, Amarenco Ireland ● Justin Brown, CEO & Co-Founder of Power Capital Renewable Energy
