A home battery stores excess solar energy generated during the day so you can use it during cloudy periods, at night, during peak electricity pricing, or during blackouts depending on the system setup.
Absolutely! You can also expand your solar system and add these to charge the battery as well.
Savings depend on your energy usage, electricity rates, solar generation, and battery size. A properly designed system can significantly reduce grid electricity usage and peak-rate power costs.
Most modern lithium batteries are designed to last 10–15 years with warranties commonly covering 10 years. Advancements in technology over that time should see improvements with system lifetimes improve significantly.
Good question! This will vary on what you want the battery for (house back up / no grid relience etc), your current energy usage and future plans (eg; buying an EV) and the amount of solar power you generate over the course of the day and year. A good installler will ask you plenty of questions.

If a house battery is set up for back up power it can provide electricity to selected circuits or for the full house. Different batteries have different capabilities and your installer needs to assess your energy needs and allow for this when sizing your battery and inverter. Talk to us today.
Yes you can charge your battery from the grid. Solar power is the cheapest most effective way to charge your battery; however, the ever-changing energy market shows new offers on the horizon for charging from the grid. Ask us about this today!
The short answer is yes. There are hundreds of brands and combinations of batteries approved by the clean energy council for use in Australia. The brands we choose have the best safety features available, they are monitored by software called a battery management system (BMS) that manages the charging/discharging and has multiple layers of protection that will shut down parts of the battery if by chance they suspect any issue.
Yes, it will. You can even configure the old solar to charge the battery and continue to power your home when the grid is down!
