How much do Solar and batteries cost?

Solar systems can start from around $5,000, but the total cost can increase depending on factors like the size of the system, the complexity of the installation, and whether you choose to include battery storage or other upgrades. Every home is different, so it's best to get a tailored quote based on your property and energy needs.

How does a battery work?

A solar battery works by storing excess electricity generated by your solar panels during the day, allowing you to use that stored energy when the sun isn’t shining—like at night or during cloudy weather. Instead of sending surplus power back to the grid, your system first charges the battery, which then discharges to power your home when solar output drops. This setup reduces your reliance on the grid, lowers your electricity bills, and can even provide backup power during blackouts if your system includes that feature.

How much will I save installing Solar and Batteries?

How much you save with solar panels and batteries depends on things like how much electricity you use, the size of your system, and where you live. On average, solar panels can reduce your electricity bills anywhere from 30% up to 70% if you produce and use most of your own power. Adding a battery helps you use more of your solar energy by storing excess power for night-time or peak times, boosting your savings even more. Batteries can also provide backup power during outages.

Is a 10kWh battery enough for my home?

For a typical Newcastle household with moderate usage, a 10kWh battery can cover overnight power needs. Homes running air conditioning, pool pumps, or EV chargers may benefit from more capacity. We'll calculate the right size during your free assessment.

Can I add a battery to any solar system?

In most cases yes, but compatibility depends on your existing inverter brand and model. Some older inverters require an upgrade or an AC-coupled battery solution. We'll check your current setup and advise the best path forward.

Will my battery work on cloudy or rainy days?

Absolutely. A well-designed system includes enough battery capacity and backup power to keep your home running during bad weather or extended cloudy periods.

How often should my battery or off-grid system be serviced?

We recommend a professional service once a year to clean components, check performance, and ensure your system is operating safely and efficiently.

Are there government rebates for solar batteries in NSW?

Yes — NSW homeowners may be eligible for state and federal incentives for installing solar batteries. We’ll guide you through the process so you can maximise your savings.
