Why a solar battery for your home?
Store your solar power, use it after dark and stay powered during outages.
Store your solar power, use it after dark
During the day, your solar panels power your home and charge your battery.
When the sun goes down, your battery can take over, helping you use more of the energy you've already generated instead of buying it back from the grid.
That means less reliance on the grid and more control over your electricity bill.
And when the grid goes down, your battery can keep essential appliances such as your fridge, lights and Wi-Fi running.
Own your energy, use it when it matters
Beat peak prices
Use your stored solar when electricity prices are highest instead of buying power from the grid.
Keep more of your solar
Instead of sending your excess solar back to the grid for a small feed-in credit, store it and use it yourself.
Stay powered during blackouts
With the right battery and backup setup, essential parts of your home can keep running when the grid goes down.
Get paid what your energy is really worth
With the right electricity plan and a Virtual Power Plant, your battery can do more than store energy. Your electricity retailer could be paying you, and we'll show you how.
Make your battery work harder
A Virtual Power Plant, or VPP, connects your battery to the electricity grid. When electricity prices are high, your stored energy can be used to support the grid and you can receive a payment or credit in return.
Depending on your retailer and electricity plan, you may also have access to free electricity during the middle of the day. With a battery, that can mean charging while power is free and using that stored energy later.
We'll help you find the right electricity plan and show you how to get the most from your battery.
Now is a good time to add a battery
Eligible homeowners can access available battery rebates and the NSW Government Home Energy Saver loan.
Your eligible rebates are applied first, then the loan can help cover the remaining cost, up to $15,000 at 0% interest, with up to 10 years to repay.
If you already have solar, you can use the loan to add a battery. If you don't have solar yet, we can look at a solar and battery system together.
Meet Kerrie
Kerrie already had solar, but she was still paying expensive peak electricity rates and receiving just 3c/kWh for the solar she sent back to the grid. We installed a battery and connected her to a VPP. The result was an average 40c/kWh solar and battery feed-in credit, with an average monthly bill of –$120.

Battery questions
Will a battery get me through the night?
It depends on your energy use and the size of your battery. We'll look at your electricity bill and recommend a battery that makes sense for the way your household uses power.
What happens in a blackout?
With the right battery and backup setup, essential appliances such as your fridge, lights and Wi-Fi can keep running when the grid goes down.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar?
Yes. Adding a battery to an existing solar system is one of the most common upgrades we do.
Why store my solar instead of sending it back to the grid?
A battery lets you keep more of the solar power you generate during the day and use it later when you would otherwise be buying electricity from the grid.
What is a VPP?
A Virtual Power Plant connects your battery to the electricity grid. When electricity prices are high, your stored energy can be used to support the grid and you can receive a payment or credit in return.
Can I use the 0% interest loan to add a battery?
Yes. If you already have solar, you can use the Home Energy Saver loan to add a battery. Eligible homeowners can borrow up to $15,000 at 0% interest, with up to 10 years to repay.
