Batteries give new life to sun energy
Energy giant Engie is linking up with battery manufacturer Sonnen to offer customers a package of solar panels and storage battery so they can use the electricity produced from the sun even when the weather is bad.
A deal comprising six panels of 300W capacity plus a 2.5kWh battery can be installed in Engie’s My Power deal for €11,300 and, as it is a modular kit, can be expanded. Finance over 10 years costs from €70/month without a battery or €109 with a battery.
