Imagine a future where your home generates its own energy, stores it efficiently, and keeps your lights on even during power outages. Sounds futuristic? For many Irish homeowners, that future is already here, thanks to solar PV systems paired with home batteries. Among the most talked-about options is the Tesla Powerwall. But in the Irish market, many are asking: is it really worth the price?
At Greenora Solar, we’ve noticed Tesla systems in Ireland are priced significantly higher than comparable solutions, sometimes nearly double what other providers charge. For a standard 12-panel solar PV system with a 5kW Dyness battery and a 5kW Solis Hubris inverter, after the SEAI grant, costs hover around €6,000. Tesla setups, however, often come in far higher.

What the Tesla Powerwall Does
Tesla Powerwall isn’t just a battery—it’s a complete home energy solution.
- Energy Storage: Stores excess solar energy generated during the day for use at night.
- Backup Power: Keeps essential appliances running during outages.
- Smart App Control: Monitor and control your energy usage remotely via the Tesla app.
- Scalability: Multiple Powerwalls can be combined for larger homes or commercial setups.

What It Doesn’t Do
Despite the hype, there are some limitations:
- High Cost: Installation and system cost in Ireland is significantly higher than alternatives.
- Warranty Concerns: While Tesla offers a 10-year warranty, Irish weather and grid conditions may affect longevity.
- Complex Installation: Professional installation is essential, which adds to cost and time.

Will Prices Drop?
With demand increasing but supply constrained, Tesla prices in Ireland may remain high for now. Domestic competitors like Solis + Dyness offer high-quality alternatives at more affordable rates. For many homeowners, these systems provide excellent value without compromising on performance.
Final Thoughts
Tesla Powerwall is a premium option for energy storage, but it comes at a significant cost. At Greenora Solar, we provide competitive pricing on both Tesla and Solis-based systems and can guide you to the solution that best suits your home or business.
