Your panels do their best work in the middle of the day. Your home uses most of its power at night. A battery closes that gap, and we design, install, and back it with a Sigenergy Gold Installer team.
Solar panels only generate while the sun is up, yet most households use the bulk of their electricity in the morning and evening. Without storage, your surplus daytime energy goes to the grid for a shrinking feed-in tariff, then you buy it back after dark at several times the price.
A battery keeps that energy at home. It charges from your panels during the day and powers your house through the evening peak, when grid electricity costs the most. With feed-in tariffs falling and usage rates climbing across South Australia, storing your own power is the single biggest step you can take after installing solar itself.
Use your own generation through the evening instead of switching to grid power the moment the sun drops.
Shrink your exposure to rising usage rates by covering the expensive evening peak from storage.
Store your surplus instead of selling it for a low feed-in tariff and buying it back at night for far more.
Keep nominated circuits running when the grid goes down, configured properly at install, not bolted on later.
Every kilowatt-hour you store and use yourself is one you don't buy at peak evening rates.
More of your consumption comes from your own roof, less from the grid, without changing how you live.
We look at your actual electricity bills and your existing solar (if any), then recommend Sigenergy, AlphaESS, or GoodWe based on what suits your home, not whichever margin is highest.
A clear quote naming the exact battery model and capacity, with any current rebate or incentive already applied. The price quoted is the price paid.
Our own SAA accredited team installs, wires backup circuits if specified, and commissions the system, most homes are done in a single day.
Your panels generate power during the day, and whatever your home doesn't use immediately charges the battery instead of being exported to the grid. After sunset, your home draws from the battery first and only falls back to the grid once it's depleted. The whole cycle is automatic, and you can watch it live in the monitoring app.
In most cases, yes. We install batteries alongside solar systems of any age and brand, including systems we didn't originally install. At the quote stage we check your inverter, switchboard, and metering to confirm compatibility and recommend the cleanest integration path.
Most residential battery installations are completed in a single day. Adding backup circuits or a switchboard upgrade can extend that slightly, and we confirm the timeframe in your fixed-price quote before any work starts.
Sigenergy, AlphaESS, and GoodWe, chosen for proven performance and genuine manufacturer warranties. We're a Sigenergy Gold Installer and Excellent Installer of the Year award winner, recognition from the manufacturer itself for installation quality.
Yes, if it's configured for backup. A standard grid-tied solar system shuts down in a blackout for safety, but a battery with backup capability keeps selected circuits running, typically lights, the fridge, and power points you nominate. We configure backup circuits as part of the installation, not as an afterthought.
It depends on your evening and overnight usage, not just your solar system size. Most Adelaide homes land between 10kWh and 16kWh, but we size from your actual electricity bills rather than a rule of thumb, so you're not paying for capacity you'll never cycle.
Battery incentives change over time, and federal and state programs come and go. We track what's current and apply any eligible rebate or incentive directly to your quote, so the price you see already reflects it.
Quality lithium batteries are warranted for 10 years and typically retain 70 to 80 percent of their original capacity at the end of that period. Correct sizing and installation make a real difference to lifespan, which is why we design around your actual usage rather than overselling capacity.
