The Solar Stewardship Initiative and Solar Ireland partner to advance responsible solar sourcing in Ireland

The Solar Stewardship Initiative (SSI) is pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Solar Ireland. Through this collaboration, the SSI and Solar Ireland will work together to continue ensure that the Irish solar market’s rapid expansion is anchored in a commitment to responsible and sustainable practices across the entire solar value chain.

Rachel Owens, CEO of SSI, commented: “We are delighted to strengthen our collaboration with Solar Ireland. As Ireland accelerates its solar deployment, it is essential that responsible and sustainable practices remain at the heart of industry and deployment growth. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to advancing transparency, accountability, and stewardship across the solar value chain. At the Solar Stewardship Initiative, we are keen to develop strategic partnerships with national associations globally, working together to embed responsible practices at both national and local levels.

The industry continues to evolve quickly, and we want to support companies across Ireland in strengthening their ESG and traceability practices. By working together, we can deepen transparency and ensure the sector continues to deliver social and environmental value as it grows.”

The SSI is committed to extending this model of partnership with other solar national associations at EU and global level, recognising that collaboration with local actors is essential to building a truly responsible and resilient global solar sector.
