Why add a battery in Melbourne
Solar exports earn a few cents per kilowatt-hour, but evening grid power costs many times that. A battery captures your excess generation and uses it when it's worth the most — often pushing homes close to 100% bill offset, depending on the system design and usage.
- Federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount — roughly 30% off eligible battery systems, applied upfront on your invoice.
- CEC-approved batteries sized to your actual overnight usage, not a guess.
- Optional backup capability, depending on the system design — we explain exactly what stays on in an outage before you buy.
- Retrofit or new install — we integrate with most existing solar systems.

A typical solar-plus-battery system in Melbourne pays back in around 7–9 years depending on usage, tariff and system size. We model your specific payback in your proposal.
