There is a limit but the law changed and ESB are legally obliged to buy some of your electricity.
Great and how much for the Panels and the transducer to boost the power up to what the ESB need .There is a reason we use trip switches and fuses the power coming in the house is more than we need .Brona and Colin in the New Gaffs you know them they wear hand knitted jumpers and matching beards to keep warm and save on electricity they also dont fucking bathe to save hot water .They have all that stuff on their Eco Home .Watty if it worked some cunt would own it .All those windmills and Panels for your gaff are just like Swallow tattoos on the back of your hand their for notice and to allow other people to make assumptions about you .
Yes they are expensive upfront but you make your money back over the years with cheaper electricity. Grants are available for some people via SEAI's "
one stop shop". If you can't afford them, the council are helping lots of families. In Finglas, the council is retrofitting lots of houses (but no solar) while in Ballymun, many of the new Corpo houses have solar panels.
Eventually your house, solar panels, solar battery, your EV & ESB networks will all "talk" to other via some clever software and the electricity will be moved around depending on who needs it when. I don't know how they'll do it but I'll bet ESB networks have clever people who can work all that out.

Eammo the Obereggen says Wind and Solar will be cheap reliable source of energy .So why do the ESB charge the same price for energy made from burning Coal or Gas or Oil as they do for Green Energy ?
There's only one transmission network so all the electricity gets mixed up together and transmitted down the lines. And, as mentioned already, the price is regulated by
the CRU.
