506 Deputy Paul Gogarty asked the Minister for Education and Science if, in view of the fact that schools now have the potential to produce their own electricity for much of the year through modern photovoltaic arrays, rotating or fixed, and get paid by the ESB for the spare capacity that exists during the summer months, he will amend policy regarding the installation of such panels in new school builds given the considerably shorter payback required; if he will expedite current pilot programmes in view of the need for such substantive money saving initiatives in the current economic climate; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
