Get more from your solar battery system

Solar battery system, also known as solar energy storage systems, are devices that store excess electricity generated by solar panels for later use. They are a crucial add-on to a solar power system, enabling homeowners and businesses to optimize their energy usage and reduce reliance on the grid. A battery used well will allow you to avoid paying for power during the evening peak load, saving you thousands of dollars over the life of the battery. It can also provide backup power with  blackout protection.

Maximise your solar investment

Solar batteries work by capturing and storing electricity produced by solar panels. During the day, when solar panels are generating more electricity than is being consumed by the home, the excess energy is diverted to the battery for storage. This stored energy can then be utilized during periods of low or no solar production, such as during cloudy weather and during the peak demand period of the evening. By storing excess energy, solar batteries help maximize self-consumption of solar power and reduce reliance on electricity from the grid. It is a better alternative than selling (exporting) the excess power for a nominal profit. Why not store your own energy and then use it back at night, maximising your energy savings.

Solar Battery System Payback period

In Adelaide, the payback period for solar batteries can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the solar system, electricity consumption patterns, and the cost of electricity from the grid. On average, the payback period for solar batteries in Adelaide ranges from 4 to 7 years. The more the cost of power goes up each year, the shorter the payback period becomes. Each year batteries have got better, cheaper and more reliable while the warranties have got longer. There is never a better time than now to invest in a home battery. Avoid paying for power at peak demand rates, use your own energy from your solar battery. It makes good sense.

When it comes to the average cost per battery, it depends on various factors, such as the brand, capacity, and quality of the battery. The current average cost for an Adelaide solar battery ranges from $6,000 to $12,000.
