How a solar battery works with your panels

In a typical setup, your panels generate electricity during the day. Your home uses what it needs in real time, then the surplus charges your battery. After sunset, the battery discharges to power your home, which limits grid usage. Any remaining shortfall is drawn from the grid as usual.

Choosing the right battery for your home

Capacity (kWh): Match storage to your evening usage. Many homes start around 10 to 13 kWh.
Power (kW): Ensure sufficient output for appliances you want to run simultaneously.
Backup options: Decide which circuits you want to keep on during an outage.
Warranty and support: Look for solid cycle and throughput guarantees backed by reputable brands.
Accredited installation: Always use qualified, experienced installers who understand Victorian standards.

Stacking upgrades for the highest impact

Households often combine a battery with an efficient hot water system and reverse-cycle heating and cooling. This maximises the value of every kilowatt generated on your roof.

Shift hot water heating to sunny hours to soak up solar generation. See the hot water rebate.
Run climate control smarter with efficient systems. Check the air conditioning rebate.
