Install a Solar Battery Storage system for your home and experience the utilisation of renewable energy generation 24/7.

More and more people are switching to battery storage for their energy needs. As prices of energy continues to increase, battery systems owners are living comfortably with independence.

Upgrading your solar system to battery storage, or installing solar along with your battery can help you become independent in your energy needs, becoming less reliant on grid energy.

Maximise Your Solar Production & Returns

Rooftop solar and home energy storage is the perfect solution for people who want to live as if they're off-grid, without the burden of stressing about the state of charge.

Battery storage allows homes to store unconsumed solar energy that would normally be fed back into the grid, giving minimal returns. Instead, what the battery allows you to do is feed that free energy you harnessed back into the grid when the grid is in high-demand, giving you higher returns.

How to Choose the Right Solar Battery

Our team understand that it can be challenging for new customers to choose and sometimes understand what batteries are good, which ones are bad and to stay away from. Before talking to any installer, we recommend doing a few things prior.
We design and install optimal custom systems for homes or businesses with both performance and budget in mind. With collaboration on system design, we can discuss specifics to your energy consumption and budget and find the best fit for you and your property.

Consumption Habits

The first thing to do when looking at whether a battery is right for you is analysing your consumption.

When looking at your energy consumption, if you use most of your solar energy throughout the day with minimal use later in the afternoon, a battery may not make sense.

If your usage is low during the day and high in peak periods, a battery could help you significantly.

Assess Your Budget

Similar to purchasing a solar system, your budget significantly contributes to the size of the system that you can get.

By understanding your consumption habits and budget, it allows for a better understanding on balancing costs with required features.

Note: You can also contact us for estimate return-on-investment timeframes.

Location & Compatibility

Each property's battery installation will be different.

Depending on if you have solar, what kind of system it is, and other elements, battery compatibility is another factor to consider when looking at upgrading.

The location distance from your meter box will indicate how much trenching is required to run cable which will also affect costs.

Are Solar Batteries Safe?

We get a lot of enquiries about whether solar batteries are safe? Short answer, Yes. They are very safe.

Commonly misconceived in the news, solar batteries are extremely safe and are suitable for homes. A recent report from the Fire & Rescue indicates that home batteries have the same ignition rate as personal care devices like electric toothbrushes and a lower ignition rate than vacuum cleaners.

Our team only install battery units and brands that are of high-quality, CEC approved, and that meet all Australian Standards to ensure maximum safety for all our clients.
