Can You Go Off-Grid With Solar in Ireland?

Blog Article

It’s a dream for some—cutting the cord with ESB and living entirely on self-generated electricity. But is it practical in Ireland?

Technically yes, but...
To go off-grid, you’d need:

• A large solar array

• Substantial battery capacity

• Backup generation (e.g., diesel or wind)

This setup is expensive and best suited for remote homes or cabins. For most people, the smarter choice is a hybrid setup with high self-consumption and export payments.

SolarX off-grid consultants can help design a near-autonomous system that gives you freedom, security, and reliability.

Or start small—install solar now and scale up as your needs change.
