MDL expands offering with BYD renewable energy products

Motor Distributors Limited (MDL), importers of BYD vehicles, has expanded its product offering in Ireland to include the BYD renewable energy products range of solar panels, batteries, inverters and vehicle chargers.

For MDL, whose history dates back to the 1940s, the appointment will increase BYD’s footprint in the Irish market and build on its achievements since the brand was first launched here in April 2023.

BYD renewable energy products work by storing electrical energy in batteries for later use, thereby helping to stabilise the power grid, integrate renewable energy sources like solar, and provide backup power.

Building on BYD’s extensive experience in the field of battery-electric power generation (exemplified in its cobalt-free Blade Battery technology used to drive its EVs), under MDL management, BYD renewable energy products will be marketed to a broad spectrum of industrial, commercial, institutional, and domestic users.

MDL director, Rob O’Hara, said “our first and primary task will be to establish appropriate communications and supply channels to introduce the complete portfolio of BYD renewable energy products to the extremely wide and multi-faceted customer base”.
