Home Battery Storage in Ireland: Is It Worth Adding to Solar?

Adding a battery to your solar PV system stores excess daytime generation so you can use it in the evening — when grid electricity is most expensive. Battery price depends on capacity, brand and whether it's paired with new solar or retrofitted; we size and quote a fixed price after reviewing your bill and existing inverter.

When a battery makes sense

• You're home in the evenings (highest grid usage)
• You have a smart tariff with cheap night rates
• You want backup power during outages
• You have or plan to add an EV

When it does not

If you use most of your solar during daytime hours (working from home with all appliances running, or pool/spa loads), the export tariff (~20c/kWh) is competitive with battery storage and you may be better off just exporting.
