Rooftop Solar Panels Could Produce 24% Of Kildare’s Energy

Calls for more government energy incentives.

The Regional Independents Group is calling for zero per cent interest loans to help people improve their homes' energy ratings.

It's one of the proposals which the group of nine independent TDs is bringing to the Ministers for Finance and Public Expenditure.

The meeting comes ahead of next month's Budget.

The Irish Solar Energy Association agrees the Government need to give as many incentives as possible.

Speaking to Kildare Today, CEO Conall Bolger said nearly a quarter of Kildare’s energy needs could be produced across the county’s rooftops.
