Tip of the Week
Minister O'Brien confirmed this week that grants for home battery storage will be introduced from October 2026. Combined with the existing €1,800 solar grant, now is the time to plan for installation.
Without a battery, surplus solar electricity goes to the grid at around 18 to 19c per kWh. You buy it back in the evening at 30 to 35c. A battery stores that surplus for when you actually need it. Solar panels coupled with home battery storage can really save on energy loss.
