Solar In A Box
Drawing on our extensive industry experience, including the deployment of hundreds of off-grid solutions over the past decade, we have gained insights into contemporary solutions involving
For most people, a solar PV system will pay for itself in 5-6 years. After that, it's free electricity all the way. An average household in Ireland can meet 75-100% of its electricity usage just from solar panels, though a solar battery may be needed to reach these numbers especially if you're usually out during the daytime.
In Ireland, demand for home battery storage systems — even without solar panels — is growing rapidly as homeowners look to reduce costs and gain energy independence.
Adding a standard-sized solar storage battery (5.3kWh) would increase the price by approximately €1,700 - €2,200. This cost includes the hybrid inverter required to work with the battery. Let's start with a disclaimer - this is just a rough guide to help you decide if you'd like to investigate getting solar PV panels installed on your house.
A smart battery storage system will also be able to identify when it the best time to store and discharge electricity meaning the longevity of the device is preserved. On average, the initial upfront cost of a battery storage system (including the installation) is around €5,000 to €15,000.
