Solar System and Battery Installers Adelaide

We are successfully installing residential solar system and battery across Adelaide for more than a decade with our expert installers. We are partners with leading brands like Tesla, Sungrow and Fronius, and more to make sure you get net-generation solar batteries at great prices.

If you are not home during peak sunshine hours, having a home battery storage system is certainly worthwhile. Your solar batteries will be able to store electricity for use when you are home after dark, that’s why adding battery backup to existing solar is the best solution you have.

Tesla Batteries, officially called Tesla Powerwall, are one of the world’s leading batteries used to store excess Solar Power. We are Tesla energy authorised installers & resellers, which means we can offer customised & advanced Power Storage solutions to you.

What is Tesla Powerwall?

This home storage battery is one of the most sophisticated lithium-ion batteries available in the market. It stores excess electricity produced during the day times by home solar systems. You can utilise this stored electricity on very cloudy days or during the night when sunlight is not available.

A Tesla Powerwall is a very efficient and safe way to store excess renewable electricity.

How does a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) work?

Some of the advantages of including VPP capable systems in the Scheme are as follows:

Households now have a wider range of products to choose from, some of which have low or no upfront costs,
Increasing the amount of storage-generation in the energy market – lowering the state’s energy demand and thus benefiting all South Australian customers, not just those who receive the subsidy.

The cost of a home battery system varies depending on the size of the battery and whether new or additional solar panels are required.

How do batteries work with a solar system?

A solar battery stores energy generated by a solar power system.

The panels in the system absorb solar energy and convert it to electricity, which is then routed through the inverter and used by your home.

A battery allows you to store energy generated by your panels and use it later, such as in the evening when your system is no longer producing energy.

The Benefits of Solar Battery Storage

Having battery storage allows you to become more self-sufficient in terms of energy.

Batteries increase your solar self-consumption and lowering the amount of energy you need to buy from the grid.

Batteries also keep you powered up in the case of a black out. This means you keep enjoying the comforts of your home, when others sit in the dark and have lost power.

By staying in power the food in your fridge for example will not be spoiled and you can continue monitor TV and radio news in case of a natural disaster.

Many houses at risk of bushfire should make sure they have solar and battery backup.

This will allow them to operate life and property saving water pumps, in the case the grid has gone down, due to a nearby bush fire.

Batteries also enable your residence to continue using solar power in the evening by storing excess solar energy generated throughout the day so that it is easily accessible for use at night.

This will save you money, as you do not sell your solar power cheaply back into the grid, but use it and therefore gaining the full value of your electricity generate via you solar system.
