Solar PV Battery Storage Dublin
Installing Solar PV Battery Storage Dublin
As electric vehicles become more ubiquitous in Dublin, demand for charging stations has also increased. Home electric vehicle charging systems are increasingly popular in Dublin due to their countless benefits, such as convenience, compatibility with solar PV systems, significant cost savings and much more.
Solar Clarity specializes in supplying and installing reliable, high-quality, incredibly easy-to-use electric vehicle charging stations. Our EV chargers feature an integrated LCD display, remote control and smartphone operation, and “smart” timers to optimize charging times during peak periods. Additionally, our electric vehicle chargers are fully compatible with our residential and commercial solar PV battery storage Dublin, allowing you to charge your electric vehicle with abundant renewable solar energy.
Our experts in solar PV battery storage Dublin can install a new electric vehicle charger at home in just a few hours. This way, you can keep your electric vehicle reliably charged and ready to use.
How much power can a solar storage battery hold?
The most common battery storage size for a home in Ireland is 5 kWh. This allows a regular kettle to boil for 2.5 hours.
Can this store a full day’s production for overnight use?
Generally not, but it depends on the size of your solar PV system, the battery and the time of year.
An average three-bedroom house could produce more than 20 units (kWh) of electricity on a sunny summer day, so a standard battery could store 25% of that. That said, your home will use a lot of that energy during the day anyway.
On a dark Christmas day, that same solar system could generate a handful of units, and yes, the battery would store it all.
What does a solar storage battery cost?
The most popular size of solar storage battery, a 5kWh battery, will increase the cost of your system by €2,400 to €2,800. That sounds great? Solar storage batteries are one of the most expensive parts of a solar system. Note, however, that a typical solar storage battery is about 2000 times larger than a mobile phone battery. This additional cost consists of three main parts:
- The cost of the battery itself
- A more expensive inverter (called a “hybrid inverter”) is about €900 – €1,100 more than a “string inverter” (that basic type that just connects solar panels to your home’s electricity grid).
- A few other little things also make up this total cost (mounting, wiring, more labor, etc.).
This means that replacing/adding a battery in the future will cost much less than the total initial cost.
Solar Energy Storage Solutions
Did you know that on some days Solar Clarity Ireland’s solar panels produce more energy than you actually need? This is where battery storage becomes important. A typical solar energy system provides 30-40% of your home or business’s needs. With battery storage, you can potentially generate up to 100% of the electricity you need from solar energy.

Main Benefit: Use more of your solar electricity
By adding battery storage to your solar PV system, you can store unused solar energy for later use.
Most residential solar installations produce more energy than can be used at any given time (because solar energy production is relatively stable and sometimes household needs change greatly in a matter of minutes). Without battery storage, excess energy returns to the grid. It’s not wasteful, but you can’t use it alone.
- For a typical home solar PV installation in Ireland, you could use 65-70% of the energy you produce yourself and the rest would be fed into the grid.
- Adding a battery can increase this figure, so your home uses 85 to 90% of the solar energy it produces.

Which battery storage system is best?
The type of battery and system you choose depends on several factors. They understand:
- Solar panels: By adding batteries to existing solar panels, AC systems are easier to retrofit and less expensive to install. If you are installing new solar panels, a DC system may be a better and more efficient option.
- Energy targets: Because there is only one inverter in a DC system, it is easier to get permission to connect to the electricity grid. If you want to sell more power, a DC system may be a better option.
- Budget: DC systems are generally cheaper but less versatile than AC systems, especially if you already have solar panels.
- Efficiency: DC systems and lithium-ion batteries are generally more efficient than other types.
- Electric vehicle ownership: DC systems can be used in more applications, such as electric vehicle charging.

The Sonnen battery is much more than just a battery. Sonnen Battery allows users to change the way they manage and control their energy.
5 kWh, the most common size for private use.
Also available in 7.5 kWh and 10 kWh.
The 5 kWh battery measures 88 cm x 67 cm x 23 cm and weighs 81 kg
The 7.5 kWh battery measures 139 cm x 67 cm x 23 cm and weighs 120 kg
The 10 kWh battery measures 139 cm x 67 cm x 23 cm and weighs 143 kg
The battery is usually installed in the garage or laundry room. The location can be agreed during the on-site inspection. Installation usually takes less than a day.
The battery stores unused energy generated by your solar PV system for later use, ensuring that you use almost all of the energy produced by your PV system. The battery can also be set to charge with cheaper night power, which can then be used during the day to save even more. Battery Sonnen optimizes self-consumption by using weather forecasts and self-learning algorithms to create an individual usage profile to maximize self-consumption at home.
Yes, if your needs change, additional battery modules can be installed in your Sonnen battery.
Due to grid security requirements, the battery will not operate in the event of a power outage. However, a backup drive is available as an option.
