the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
Solar panels paired with battery storage systems allow you to collect excess energy during peak sunlight hours. This energy can be stored and used later in the evening when you are home or during nighttime and overcast days, substantially lessening your reliance on the national grid. This level of autonomy is particularly crucial during unexpected power outages or peak tariff intervals.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
Utilising stored solar energy during times of high tariffs helps you avoid the costliest energy prices, significantly reducing your utility bills. The financial benefits accrued over time can completely offset the initial installation costs of the solar and battery systems.
potential for revenue
There’s also the potential to generate income by selling surplus energy back to the grid through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which pays you for the additional solar energy you export.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Homes outfitted with solar panels and battery storage often attract more interest from potential buyers, who are likely to value the energy efficiency and prospective cost savings. This can enhance the property’s market value.
desirability in market
With rising energy prices and growing environmental awareness, the demand for properties equipped with established renewable energy systems is expected to surge.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
Integrating solar panels with batteries provides a sustainable energy solution that efficiently uses natural resources, which is essential for addressing climate change and reducing ecological footprints.
