Solar panel company Activ8 has called for the full solar grants to be reinstated in the upcoming Budget.

The company, headquartered in Carrickmacross, Co Monaghan has said there is an urgent need to support both carbon reduction and cost savings for individuals and businesses.

"Streamlining planning processes, incentivising commercial solar adoption, and investing in grid infrastructure are also crucial to meeting Ireland's 2030 renewable energy targets," the company said in a a statement.

Since it was established in 2007, Activ8 has installed over 250,000 solar panels across the country.

The company was recently recognised in the 2024 Deloitte Ireland's Best Managed Companies Awards.

"Activ8's Deloitte win is not just a recognition of its past achievements but a powerful statement about its future," said Ciaran Marron CEO of Activ8.

"The company remains committed to leading the charge in renewable energy solutions, but it needs the government's support to realise its full potential," he added.
