Solar Battery Storage
The average household in Ireland used 3,177kWh of electricity in 2022, which averages out at 8.7kWh per day ( Source ). Buying a battery with a storage capacity which exceeds your daily consumption would be pointless. Ideally your solar panels should be supplying most of your electricity in the day, and the battery takes over for the evening
Solar PV vs Solar Thermal
Solar thermal collectors trap heat from sunlight, and then channel that heat to a hot water cylinder. This is in contrast with burning fossil fuels such as oil or gas to heat a boiler. The solar collectors absorb sunlight, which is then used to heat water or a heat transfer fluid, and bring that down to your hot water cylinder for it to be used.
