768,000 homes, farms and businesses lost power at the peak of Storm Éowyn. It remains the most damaging weather event ever recorded on the ESB Networks grid, and some rural homes & businesses were off for well over a week.

Storm season comes round again. So here's something most people don't find out until it's too late:
⚠️ Solar panels on their own will NOT keep your lights on during a power cut.

When the grid goes down, a standard solar system shuts down too. That's a safety requirement; it protects the crews working on the lines. It's not a fault, and it's not a cheap system.
It's how every grid-tied install works.
What changes it is battery storage with backup capability, specified and wired for it at design stage. Not every battery does this, and not every installer includes it by default.

So if outages are the thing that worries you, and after the last few winters, fair enough, ask the question early:
"Does this system keep my house running when the grid is down, and which circuits?"
Ask it before you sign anything. It's much harder to add afterwards.

Turns out we just needed solar. ☀️😂

Ireland has the most expensive household electricity in the European Union.

That's not an opinion; it's Eurostat.
At 40.42c per kWh including VAT and levies, we pay more than any other EU country. The EU average is 28.96c.

Ireland — 40.42c
Germany — 38.69c
Belgium — 34.99c
Denmark — 33.12c

For the average household here, that works out at roughly €480 a year more than the EU average. Same kettle, same washing machine, same immersion, just a more expensive grid behind them.

Here's the part worth sitting with: you have no control over the unit price.
None of us do.

It's set by wholesale markets, grid costs and levies.

What you can control is how many units you're buying in the first place.

That's the entire argument for generating your own. Not a lifestyle choice, not a green statement, just buying fewer of the most expensive units in Europe.

We hear this objection a lot! Panels don't perform in December like they do in June. Output drops; the days are short. That's true.

But most people misunderstand what a battery is for. They think it stores spare sunshine. That's one job.

The other one, the job that carries a house through January, is choosing WHEN you buy your electricity. Charge when the grid is cheap, run the house off it when it isn't. Nothing to do with the sun.

Which is why a battery:
- Works in December as well as June
-Works on a north-facing or shaded roof, because it doesn't depend on generation
-Shifts your usage automatically; you change nothing about your routine

And since June 2026, Irish electricity prices can change every half hour on a dynamic tariff. That makes this a much bigger deal than it used to be.

Electric Ireland raised residential electricity by 8% and gas by 7.7% from 1 July 2026, their first increase since October 2022.

For the average customer, that's:
⚡ €2.66 a week, about €138 a year on electricity
🔥 Another €2.25 a week on gas, about €117 a year
Three things worth finding:
📊 Your annual kWh usage (not your euro figure, the units)
🕕 When you're actually using it, evening peak or spread out?
🧾 Your standing charge, which you pay regardless

Know those three, and you'll have a much better conversation with anyone you talk to, us included.

You’ll also be able to verify if solar will be worth the investment for your home! Comment Bill, and we’ll happily guide you through yours!

Business owners… IYKYK. 😂

It's been our busiest summer yet at DAE Renewables, with the team installing solar across homes and businesses throughout Leinster. ☀️

And the diary isn't slowing down.

If you've been thinking about solar, now is the time to get your site survey booked and avoid delays.

Availability for the coming months is already limited, so we'd recommend starting the conversation sooner rather than later.

It all begins with a complimentary site survey. We'll assess your property, energy usage and what you want to achieve, then recommend a system that makes sense for you.

Built after 2021? The grant rule nobody mentions until it's too late. 👇

The SEAI Solar PV grant is only open to homes built and occupied before 2021, it's checked against your MPRN. After that date, there's no domestic grant. Full stop.

But newer home ≠ no case for solar:
☀️ 0% VAT on supply + install (same contractor, same contract)
⚡ Your supplier still pays you for exported electricity
🔋 First €400/yr of that export income is tax-free, now extended to the end of 2028

And if you ARE pre-2021, the one that really stings:
❗ Your grant must be approved BEFORE the works start. Not during. Not after.

We'll tell you straight whether you qualify before you spend a cent.

Your roof faces north.......

For some homeowners, that's where the solar conversation ends.

For us? It's where it starts.

One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is that a north-facing roof automatically means solar isn't an option. The reality is, every home is different.

When we carry out a complimentary site survey, we don't just look at one factor, we assess the whole property, including:

☀️ Roof orientation
📐 Available roof space
⚡ Your electricity usage
🔋 Battery storage options
🏡 Alternative installation solutions, such as gable wall or ground-mounted systems where suitable

Sometimes a north-facing roof may not be the best option. Other times, there are smart alternatives that can still make solar a worthwhile investment, such as ground mounts or exterior wall fittings.

That's why we never make assumptions from Google Maps or over the phone.

Every recommendation we give is based on what's right for your home, your energy usage, and your long-term goals.

Thinking your roof isn't suitable for solar? It might be worth getting a second opinion.

📩 Book your complimentary site survey with DAE Renewables, and we'll give you honest advice on whether solar is the right investment for your home.
