Battery Storage
Store more of your solar and use it when it matters
Battery storage gives households and businesses more control over how solar energy is used, especially in the evening when grid power is often more expensive.
Overview
Battery systems matched to your lifestyle
The best battery is not always the biggest one. We help customers compare storage size, backup goals, solar production, and budget to find a battery solution that makes sense.
Battery storage can be added with a new solar system or considered as part of a future-ready upgrade path.
Typical battery pathways
Around 5kWh
Suitable for smaller households wanting to store part of their daytime solar for evening use.
Around 10kWh
A strong fit for many family homes seeking better self-consumption and more flexibility after sunset.
15kWh+
Often considered for larger homes, stronger backup goals, or sites with higher evening demand.
Why battery storage appeals to customers
- Use more of your own solar energy
- Reduce peak-time grid reliance
- Improve energy independence
- Support future electrification plans
- Potential backup capability depending on system design
Incentives
Battery rebates and support
Battery incentives can change over time. Customers may be interested in federal battery discount pathways of around 30% and other support programs, but eligibility is dependent on location or income (unspecified) and current rules.
We help explain what may apply before you commit.
