Hutton & Meade Partner with Pinergy SolarElectric

Hyundai dealers, Hutton & Meade Ltd, have just announced an exciting partnership with Pinergy SolarElectric, granting an energy export connection to the grid, through ESB Networks Mini Generation process.

Pinergy SolarElectric recently installed 165 solar PV panels, 65.6 kWp, on the roof top of Hutton & Meade’s premises, completing an export connection, which will now enable Hutton & Meade to take advantage of the Micro-generation Support Scheme (MSS). The Micro-generation Support Scheme (MSS) is a Government support scheme which provides a range of supports to assist homes and businesses to develop renewable generation for self-consumption.

The granting of the export connection to the dealership is a significant step in creating opportunities for commercial property owners across Ireland to reduce their need for energy from the grid and create opportunities to export and sell their excess energy. Export connections are commonplace in many other European countries.

Speaking about the Solar PV installation, Jonathan Meade, Director of Hutton & Meade said, “We are very excited to finally have Solar PV installed on the roof of our building here in Dublin 15. This marks a big step in our sustainability journey, enabling us to utilise renewable energy. We are seeing the impacts that rising energy costs are having on our business, and this is one of many steps to bring these spiralling costs back into line. It makes good business sense to invest in our future, as we endeavour to become more energy efficient and sustainable in the months and years ahead.”
