Question 1

Will a battery keep my power on in a blackout?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with the right setup, your essential circuits keep running when the grid goes down. Given how storm season treats the Northern Rivers, it's one of the most common reasons locals call us. At your assessment we'll show you exactly which circuits stay live.

Question 2

How do I know what size battery I actually need?

Accepted Answer

It comes down to how much power your home uses after dark, when your panels have stopped producing. We look at your real evening and overnight usage rather than selling you a standard size, too small and you're flat before bed, too big and you've paid for capacity you'll never cycle.

Question 3

Should I get a battery now, or add one to my solar later?

Accepted Answer

Both work. If you've already got solar, we can retrofit a battery sized to your system. If you're starting from scratch, designing the solar and battery together usually gets you a better-matched result. We'll tell you honestly which makes sense for your situation, there's no wrong time if the sizing's right.

Question 4

How long do solar batteries last?

Accepted Answer

A quality solar battery typically lasts 10–15 years depending on the brand, how it's used and how often it cycles. We only install brands with warranties that back that lifespan up and we'll be straight with you about what to expect from each tier at your assessment.

Question 5

How much does a solar battery cost?

Accepted Answer

It varies with capacity, brand and whether you're adding to existing solar or installing both together, so we quote it properly in person rather than throwing out a number that won't hold. What we can promise is an honest range across budget, mid and premium options, and a recommendation based on your usage, not our margin.

Question 6

Which solar battery brands do you install?

Accepted Answer

We currently carry Sigenergy, Sungrow, Anker and Goodwe. Across budget, mid-range and premium tiers. At your assessment we'll recommend the one that fits your usage and goals, not the one with the best margin for us.
