Project Abstract
The InVEST project will put the building occupier to the forefront of the research to understand their electricity use pattern, how they can maximise solar PV
electricity use. The project will demonstrate the potential for self-consumption of electricity generated in Ireland using this evidence based data. This knowledge will lead to a more accurate understanding of the business model for PV and the tangible and in-tangible benefits of PV under various categories, thereby increasing the attractiveness of the technology to investors, which in turn can lead to greater penetration in the micro-generation market.
