Residential solar and storage are helping homeowners manage rising energy costs and move towards zero-carbon living.
Huawei combines its expertise in digital and power electronics with photovoltaic (PV), energy storage, cloud and intelligent technologies to deliver its FusionSolar All-Scenario Smart PV and Energy Storage Solutions. Designed for commercial, industrial and residential markets, these solutions optimise power generation, distribution and consumption — reducing levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) and levelised cost of storage (LCOS), enabling grid forming and enhancing safety — supporting PV as a primary green energy source.
The home as an energy management hub
Homeowners across Europe are embracing residential solar, with new installations expected to reach 122 GW by 2029, according to EUPD Research. As costs rise and energy demand grows, solar energy adoption — especially when paired with battery-based energy storage systems — is accelerating and becoming essential to reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Huawei’s FusionSolar solution enables households to produce, store and manage electricity intelligently, with technologies including module optimisers, inverters, batteries, EV chargers and an intelligent energy management system. The system ensures maximum solar yield while adapting energy use based on off-peak tariffs and consumption patterns.
FusionSolar enables smart usage,
with storage playing a key role.
Maximising rooftop power
Rooftops are often underused due to shading or layout issues. Huawei’s optimisers solve this by allowing each solar panel module to operate independently down to the individual cell level, avoiding performance loss across the system. More flexible placement means more panels — and more energy.
Smarter storage, greater independence
Producing clean energy is only half the story. FusionSolar enables smart usage, with storage playing a key role. Huawei’s S1 residential battery offers plug-and-play expandability up to 15KW, integrated safety features and reliable performance across a wide temperature range – from -20°C to 55°C.
When paired with SmartGuard, the system can power homes even during outages. The Smart Assistant platform manages the flow between PV generation, battery storage systems and third-party devices—ensuring electricity is used or stored at the right time, taking advantage of off-peak energy cost or solar availability.
Empowering Irish homes with smart, efficient solar solutions
Huawei’s residential solar inverter solutions have established a strong position in Ireland’s rapidly expanding residential sector. Combining industry-leading high conversion efficiency of up to 98.4% with modular scalability and intelligent energy management through FusionSolar, the system enables Irish households to significantly reduce electricity costs while achieving up to 80% energy self-sufficiency, with payback periods as short as five to seven years. Featuring advanced safety mechanisms, Huawei’s inverters are specifically designed to perform reliably in Ireland’s varied climate.
Through continued collaboration with local installers and adherence to European safety and certification standards, Huawei is contributing to Ireland’s energy transition, supporting national decarbonisation targets and strengthening the resilience and intelligence of the electricity grid.
