What is a battery storage system?

Store your Solar generated electricity for later use in your home. The battery system can be programmed to charge on cheaper night rate electricity resulting in further savings and lower bills.

Monitor power usage

To see how much power your home is using a good quality broadband connection is necessary. Once installed the homeowner can review both the live and cumulative energy usage in the home on the free energy app from their smartphone.

No disruption installation

When we install the Electric Ireland Solar battery in your home, it is usually placed as close to the main electrical distribution board as possible. The location will be agreed beforehand with the homeowner. Installation typically takes one day to complete. Most of the work will be in the area of the distribution board, minimising any disruption.

Electric Ireland have partnered with Sonnen a world leader in the industry with tens of thousands of installations worldwide to bring you battery storage at a competitive rate with long warranty and reliability you can trust. Battery prices start at €5,900 net of grant, with free installation, demonstration and  smartphone application.
