04Questions

Common questions.

What size battery do I need?

It depends on how much power you use in the evening and overnight, how big your solar system is. We work it out from your actual power bill so you don't overpay for capacity you won't use.

Do I need solar panels to get a battery?

A battery works best with rooftop solar, and the federal rebate is for batteries installed with new or existing solar. Don't have solar yet? We can recommend a combined system.

How much can I save?

Savings depend on your usage, your tariff and your system size. Our energy analysts will estimate your savings using your own bill details, not a generic average.

How does the rebate work?

The Cheaper Home Batteries Program discount comes off the upfront price through your installer, so you don't have to claim it yourself. We show the exact amount on your quote.
