Do you want to be amongst the first Australians to achieve energy independence?
For the first time, you can take full control of your household energy needs. Batteries offer the next-level of independence from the grid
Most people who are buying batteries these days are buying them in conjunction with a new solar system. Indeed one-in-ten new solar power systems in 2018 included a battery. You can also retrofit a household energy storage system to an existing solar power system. The best solution for retrofit is often different to the best solution for a new solar plus storage system – we can chat about that with you at length if you like.
What most people choose at the moment is to buy a solar power system now, and will add a battery at a later date. That’s because battery prices are high now, but are expected to fall in coming years. You can buy a battery-ready inverter now if you like, but we only suggest that if you intend on adding a battery within 12-18 months. The better option is to purchase a system that’s larger than your current needs, because that will make best use of your battery in future, and will future-proof you against increased electricity consumption (especially if you’d like to buy an electric vehicle or add a swimming pool, for example).
If you’re keen on getting a battery now, we will recommend the best battery size for you, and the best option of batteries.
