energy storage SYSTEMS

Solar battery storage systems are changing the way that people use & think about solar.

Installing a solar battery as part of your home solar energy system, allows for any extra energy produced by your solar panels to be stored, instead of exported back to the electricity grid.

Storing excess electricity within a battery gives you more control over how you use your energy. For example, on cloudy days or days where your system does not produce as much power as usual, you can pull electricity from the batteries instead of the grid (in turn – saving money).

Installing solar batteries not only allows you to reduce your home’s carbon footprint, but it also brings your household one step closer to self-sufficiency.

Cheaper Home Batteries Program

About The Program

The Cheaper Home Batteries Program is now available. Households and small businesses may be eligible for around a 30% discount on the upfront cost of installing a small-scale solar battery. The discount will be based on the solar battery’s usable capacity and will gradually decrease until 2030.

Eligibility

A single solar battery with a nominal (total) capacity of 5 kWh to 100 kWh will be eligible.

The solar battery's usable capacity will be used to calculate the number of STCs it will be eligible for. STCs can only be claimed for the first 50 kWh of usable capacity.

The solar battery will need to be installed with a new or existing solar photovoltaic (PV) system.

The solar battery is considered ‘installed’ when a certificate of electrical compliance or equivalent is signed, which confirms that the system complies with relevant state and territory electrical safety regulations.

over constant blackouts? Scroll down, we have a solution!

ALL CUSTOMERS CONSIDERING BATTERIES AND/OR BACK-UP FUNCTIONALITY WILL RECEIVE A FREE, NO OBLIGATION ON-SITE SURVEY & POWER CONSUMPTION ASSESSMENT.

Back-up battery functionality means you will have power, when everyone else in your street is living in the dark.

The configuration of your battery system needs some serious thought (but do not worry, we are here to help with that).

Backup power functionality works by switching on a ‘critical or emergency load’ circuit. This will allow the home power devices connected to this circuit (usually fridges, lights, water-pump & a few dedicated power outlets) to continue running off the batteries and/or solar panels for the black out period.
