Frequently Asked Questions
The Australian Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries program provides financial incentives through Small Scale Technology Certificates to reduce the upfront cost of battery installation. Starting July 1st, this scheme makes battery storage more affordable for homes and small businesses.
While batteries work best with solar PV systems, you can install a battery without solar panels. However, the greatest savings come from combining rooftop solar with battery storage to maximise your use of renewable energy.
The ideal battery size depends on your electricity usage, existing solar system size, and budget. During our free assessment, we’ll analyse your electricity bills and usage patterns to recommend the optimal usable battery capacity for your needs.
Most modern solar systems can accommodate battery storage. We’ll assess your existing inverter and electrical installation to determine if you can add batteries directly or if any upgrades are needed for safe integration.
A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) allows battery owners to sell excess stored energy back to the electricity grid during peak demand. This can provide additional income while supporting grid stability. We can explain VPP options available in your area.
