Why Install a Solar Battery?

Help reduce electricity bills by storing your excess solar energy instead of sending it back to the grid for pennies. A battery system lets your home run on solar power long after the sun has set.

With electricity prices rising across Victoria, home battery storage allows you to reduce reliance on peak grid pricing. Plus, with dedicated blackout protection features, you can keep critical appliances safely powered during unpredictable Melbourne outages.

Battery Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Are solar batteries worth it in Melbourne?
Yes. With grid electricity prices remaining high in Victoria and generous rebate structures like the Solar Victoria Battery Program, adding a battery to your existing or new solar system allows you to store your own power for peak evening use—drastically cutting your reliance on energy retailers.
How long does a battery last?
Most top-tier batteries such as the Tesla Powerwall, Sungrow, and BYD come with a robust 10-year manufacturer's warranty. With average daily cycling, the lithium iron phosphate components inside are expected to operate effectively for 15 years or more.
What size battery do I need?
Battery sizing thoroughly depends on your evening electricity usage. An average Melbourne 3-4 bedroom home typically uses 10-15kWh of electricity overnight. Our engineers will audit your energy bills and recommend the optimal kWh capacity—whether that's a 10kWh Sungrow or a 13.5kWh Tesla.
Do batteries work during a blackout?
Yes, but the installation must be wired specifically for power backup. When correctly configured, batteries will detect a grid drop and immediately supply power to dedicated essential circuits (like fridges, living room lights, and Wi-Fi) keeping your home functional smoothly during storms or network loss.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?
Absolutely. You can retrofit a battery to almost any existing solar array. We can install an 'AC Coupled' battery like the Tesla Powerwall beside your current inverter, or upgrade your older inverter to a modern 'Hybrid' unit to attach DC batteries like Sungrow or BYD.
Can a battery run an air conditioner?
Yes. Premium batteries with high continuous kilowatt output (such as the Tesla Powerwall 3) can definitely run ducted or split system air conditioners. However, heavy appliances will deplete your stored energy far quicker than running basic appliances. We calculate these loads during your free battery assessment.
