Benefits of solar battery storage

  • Energy independence: Store solar energy for use during night and daytime.
  • Reduced electricity bills: Use stored energy during peak hours to lower utility costs.
  • Grid stability: Help balance the grid by storing excess energy and releasing it when demand is high.
  • 24/7 power: Enjoy a continuous supply of electricity, day or night, rain or shine.
  • Eco-friendly: Decrease your reliance on fossil fuels and reduce your carbon footprint.
  • Enhanced safety: Modern solar batteries include advanced safety features to prevent overcharging or overheating.
Solar energy batteries

Engineered to withstand the challenging Irish climate. Durable construction and advanced safety features.

Modern solar batteries are designed with high ingress protection (IP) ratings, such as IP65 or higher, which ensures they are fully sealed against dust and resistant to powerful water jets, protecting the internal components from heavy rain and moisture.

This robust exterior is complemented by a sophisticated Battery Management System (BMS). The BMS is a critical safety feature that continuously monitors the battery’s health, preventing common issues like overcharging, over-discharging, and overheating. This not only extends the battery’s lifespan but also mitigates potential fire risks, providing a secure and reliable energy storage solution for any home.

Free electricity from photovoltaic solar panels. Smart!

When we consider financial savings to be had producing & storing free electricity, while also playing a role in the reduction of carbon emissions, installing PV panels in your home makes perfect sense.

Solar panel batteries in Ireland
Elite Energies Solar Panels

Solar PV Panels

PV panels function by absorbing daylight and using it to create free electricity. Currents created by all of the panels combined adds up to enough electricity to help power your home.

Safety Shunt Switch

System Shunt

A solar PV system shunt is a safety mechanism that functions as a circuit breaker. It provides a means to disconnect your electricity supply during an emergency, ensuring safety for you and your home.

Elite Energies Huawei Solar Inverters

Power inverter

The raw energy that is generated from the panels is referred to as DC or direct current. The inverter converts DC into AC electricity (alternating current) for storage and use around your home.

Fuse box

Distribution Board

Your solar panel system is connected directly to your homes distribution (fuse board). Simply put, this is a control panel center for the entire electrical system of the home or business.

Eddi power diverter

Power Diverter

The Eddi is a smart device that channels surplus solar electricity to your immersion heater, ensuring you use every bit of your free energy to heat water instead of exporting it to the grid.

Elite Energies Huawei Solar Batteries

Battery Storage

Highly advanced batteries retain the free electricity sent from your power Inverter. Here it is stored for later use. This eliminates renewable electricity from being exported back to the grid.

Elite Energies Solar Power Remote Control Access

Monitoring

Solar PV phone and computer applications provide you with real time information and historical data allowing you to understand your generation from your panels and how it is used in your building.

Solar car chargers

Car Chargers

Optional. The EV charger is a smart, eco-friendly solution for electric vehicles. The system uniquely integrates with Elite Energies solar panels allowing you to charge your car using surplus green energy generated at home.

Solar pv panels and some faqs

How do solar batteries work in Ireland's climate?

Solar batteries store excess energy generated by your solar panels during the day, so you can use it at night or on cloudy days. Even with Ireland’s changeable weather, solar panels still produce electricity from daylight (not just direct sun), and batteries allow you to maximise this by storing it for when you need it most.

 

 

Are there grants available for solar batteries in Ireland?

Currently, there are no standalone grants specifically for solar batteries from the SEAI. However, installing a battery as part of a new solar PV system can be a cost-effective choice and is VAT exempt.

 

What size solar battery do I need for my home?

The ideal size depends on your household’s energy usage. For a typical Irish home, a 5-7 kWh battery is a great starting point, as it can usually cover your evening and overnight electricity needs. For larger homes or those with electric vehicles, a bigger battery may be more suitable.

Can I use a solar battery to save money on my electricity bill?

Yes. A solar battery allows you to reduce your reliance on the grid and avoid buying expensive electricity, especially during peak hours. You can also use a “Time-of-Use” tariff to charge your battery at night when electricity is cheaper, and then use that stored energy during the day.

How long do solar batteries last?

The lifespan of a solar battery is typically measured in cycles (charge and discharge). A modern solar battery is expected to last between 10 and 20 years, with many models boasting a lifespan of at least 6,000 to 10,000 cycles.

 

Do solar batteries require much maintenance?

Modern solar batteries, particularly lithium-ion ones, are designed to be largely maintenance-free. They are equipped with a sophisticated Battery Management System (BMS) that handles most of the work, protecting the battery from issues like overcharging or overheating.
