The SRESS export tariff is designed for community, SME and farmer export-only projects above 50 kW to 6 MW. SRESS offers a simpler route to market … those groups, with fixed tariffs for solar and wind. All export projects up to 1 MW can also apply to SRESS, and need not be community, SME or farmer-owned projects. To further support communities, the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, SEAI, provides a range of supports

It only matters when you are exporting electricity to the grid. It seems to be mired in bureaucratic difficulties and delays. What exactly
