Solar & Battery
for Irish Homes

Battery backup during a power cut isn't included as standard. If keeping your home powered through an outage matters to you, let us know and we'll talk through the options.

Absolutely. Your BYD battery stores excess solar energy generated during the day and releases it at night when your panels aren't producing. This means you can power your home with clean energy around the clock, not just when the sun is shining.

BYD batteries are built for the long haul with a comprehensive 15-year warranty. In real-world use, most systems are expected to last 15-20 years, making them one of the most durable battery solutions on the market.

In most cases, no. Residential solar panels and battery storage systems in Ireland are covered by planning exemptions, so you can proceed without a formal application. Our team will confirm your eligibility during the free consultation.

Homeowners can currently access up to €1,800 in SEAI grants for solar PV installations (tiered by system size). Battery storage isn't separately grant-aided. There's no separate battery grant, but you pay 0% VAT on a battery when it's installed together with solar.

Yes, solar panels generate electricity from daylight, not direct sunshine. Even on overcast Irish days, panels produce 10-25% of their peak output. Combined with battery storage, your system captures every bit of energy and stores it for when you need it most. Ireland gets enough solar radiation to make PV systems highly effective year-round.

No. Our finance options are available to all Irish residents with a valid PPS number, regardless of nationality. Standard credit checks apply, but there is no citizenship or passport requirement. Whether you've lived in Ireland for 2 years or 20, you can apply for our monthly payment plans.

Yes. BYD systems support both single-phase and three-phase installations. This is particularly relevant for farms, larger homes, and commercial properties. Our three-phase compatible inverters and battery configurations handle high-draw equipment including heat pumps, milking parlours, and workshop machinery.

A battery-only installation is typically completed in a single day. For a full solar panel and battery system, expect 1-2 days. Our BYD-certified installers work efficiently to minimise disruption to your home.

For a single-phase home a BYD inverter is used; for three-phase, only a few inverters are compatible, so we confirm compatibility for your system. Whether you're adding storage to existing solar or starting fresh, we'll design the right setup.

Most homeowners see a full return on investment within around 6-8 years, depending on energy usage, system size, and electricity rates. After that, you're essentially generating free energy for the remaining 10-15+ years of the system's life.

Yes, BYD's modular battery design means you can start with what you need today and add extra modules as your energy demands grow. Whether you get an EV, a heat pump, or simply want more storage, scaling up is straightforward.

We offer flexible monthly payment plans from around €103/mo (6.5% APR representative, subject to status). There's no large upfront cost, so you can start saving on your energy bills immediately while spreading the investment over a comfortable term.

Yes, a home battery lets you store low-cost off-peak electricity overnight (alongside your daytime solar) and use it during peak hours, so you cut what you pay at the most expensive times of day.
