Battery storage can become very complex very quickly, but it doesn’t need to be. Here’s the short version: battery storage is exactly as it sounds—it stores the surplus power you generate in your solar panels.
This surplus can give your energy usage a little boost during the evening or on gloomy days when you aren’t generating as much as you usually would; this means you’re relying more on your solar panels rather than traditional forms of energy while also maintaining those lower energy costs.
The Installation Process with Residential Solar
Let’s begin
Begin by getting your tailored quote from our energy savings estimator – in this quote, we will suggest the amount of battery needed – whenever you can move the toggles to adjust the number of batteries and see how that affects costs.

Keep an eye on your Emails
We will send your custom quote straight to your email and use it as a starting point.
We make contact!
A member of our team will contact you to discuss your quote and organise a time and date for one of our engineers to visit so they can design battery storage that compliments your home and isn’t intrusive.
Consistent Energy Supply
Once your battery storage is installed, all that lovely solar energy can be stored and used on those gloomy days.
We have kept this brief as we are more focused on making solar energy accessible for everyone, which means less fluff and more simple explanations; the way we see it is that you save on your energy costs as well as get closer to a more self-sufficient lifestyle!
Need some answers? Here’s some a’s for your q’s
What are the types of Solar Batteries?
Several types of solar batteries exist, including lead-acid, lithium-ion, saltwater, and flow batteries. Lead-acid batteries tend to have a cheaper upfront cost. Yet, lithium-ion batteries are more efficient, longer-lasting, and require less maintenance – we recommend going for LiFePO4 batteries, which have a lower fire risk.
What is the Best Solar Battery for Residential Use?
The meaning of “best” changes from household to household. We want you to have the “best” storage, which means our consideration points are your household needs, budget, and solar generating capacity. An excellent residential solar battery should be high efficiency, have a long life span, have a full warranty, and have minimal maintenance. We are more than happy to guide you through this; give us a bell.
Can I go entirely off-grid with Solar Battery Storage?
We like your thinking! With a robust solar panel system and efficient battery storage, it’s possible to go off-grid. A few things to ponder: your energy consumption, local weather patterns, and the size of your solar+battery system. Remember, being off-grid means complete energy independence, but you’re solely responsible for all your energy generation and storage – remember there will always be those pesky standing charges!
