Build and Renovate Expo show in the Longford Arms Hotel

Elite Energies Attended Longford Leader / Longford Live Build and Renovate Expo

 

The Longford Leader / Longford Live Build and Renovate Expo 2025 was held on Saturday and Sunday, October 11–12, at the Longford Arms Hotel. The doors opened at 11am, and admission was free.

Excitement built as Longford prepared to host one of its most notable home improvement events of the year. Organisers had urged homeowners, renovators, and design enthusiasts to clear their calendars and arrive early to make the most of this unmissable opportunity. Homeowners and enthusiasts had the chance to connect directly with dozens of top local exhibitors, who offered everything from solar tech and kitchen design to financial planning and DIY know-how.

We were proud to bring together such a diverse range of exhibitors and experts,” said Dessie Connolly, Regional Sales Director for the Longford Leader / Longford Live. “It was a great opportunity for homeowners to explore new ideas and connect with professionals who understand the local market.”

 

Niamh Donlon, Business Development Manager at EBS Longford, added, “It was great to be associated with the first Longford Leader Expo, showing the local housing market. There had never been a better time to build, buy or renovate your home and it was great to have all the key stakeholders together in the one room. It was a one-stop shop for anybody interested in the housing market locally.”

What makes the new SigenStor Neo different from previous battery storage systems?

The SigenStor Neo is an all-in-one residential energy platform that integrates five core components—the PV inverter, battery, power conversion system (PCS), energy management system (EMS), and gateway—into a single, compact unit. Powered by SigenAgent AI through the mySigen App 4.0, it automatically optimizes battery usage based on electricity pricing and weather forecasts while offering true 0ms uninterruptible backup during grid blackouts.

How does the 0ms backup feature work during a power outage?

Unlike conventional backup systems that experience a brief delay or flicker when grid power fails, Sigenergy’s 0ms switchover functions like a commercial-grade Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Connected household circuits retain instant, continuous power, keeping critical appliances, Wi-Fi routers, and electronics running without interruption.

Are Sigenergy products suitable for Ireland’s rainy and cold climate?

Yes. Sigenergy systems feature an industry-leading IP66 ingress protection rating, making them fully dust-tight and resistant to heavy rain and harsh weather. This complete waterproofing allows systems to be safely installed outdoors or in unheated garages across Ireland without risk of weather damage.

How does an AI-powered battery storage system like Sigenergy SigenStor save money?

AI-powered battery systems evaluate real-time weather forecasts and household usage history to predict energy production and consumption. During winter or cloudy periods, the system automatically buys cheap electricity from the grid during off-peak night hours and releases it during peak daytime hours, minimizing your unit rates.

Ready to Future-Proof Your Energy?

Whether you are looking to lower household electricity bills, secure back-up power, or transition your commercial premises to renewable energy, the future of solar is already here.
