Solar battery installation in Byron Bay
Byron has one of the highest solar adoption rates in the country which means thousands of homes selling cheap power to the grid all day, then buying it back at peak rates every night. A battery keeps that power yours. Sized and installed by a licensed local electrician.

INSTALLED BY BYRON LOCALS FOR 20+ YEARS
Byron went solar early. Batteries are the missing half.
Byron embraced solar before most of the country, so a huge share of local roofs already generate serious daytime power. But feed-in tariffs have dropped hard, the excess you export earns a fraction of what you pay to buy power back at 6pm. Solar-only homes here are effectively selling low and buying high, every single day.
That early adoption also means a lot of Byron systems are older, which shapes the retrofit. Some pair beautifully with a modern battery as-is, some need an inverter upgrade to do it properly, and some are honestly better replaced as a combined solar-plus-battery system. And through a Northern Rivers storm season, blackout backup isn't a luxury feature, half the calls we get after a big blow are from people who watched the neighbour's lights stay on.
A phone quote can't tell which category your setup is in. We check your existing system, your switchboard and your real evening usage on-site, and the electrician who quotes it leads the install, from 20 minutes up the road.

What Northern Rivers Locals Say
"We had a 10kW system paired with a Tesla Powerwall installed, and the power bill savings were immediate. The setup looks sleek on the roof, and the battery gives us total peace of mind. Couldn't be happier with the equipment and installation!"
Mark T
"Coxy's service was amazing throughout the entire process. He was super professional, took the time to explain everything clearly, and actually felt trustworthy unlike some of the other solar companies I had been quoted by who felt like they just wanted a quick sale."
Sarah M.
"First call with Coxy was great, he was very knowledgable. Install process was smooth and fast. Couldn't recommend Coxy and the team more!"

My solar system is 10+ years old, can a battery still be added?
Often yes, but it depends on your inverter. Some older systems retrofit cleanly, some need an inverter swap to pair properly, and occasionally the honest maths says replace the lot as one modern system. We tell you which at the free assessment, with the numbers, not a sales pitch.
Will the battery keep my power on when a storm takes the grid down?
With the right setup, yes, essential circuits like the fridge, lights and internet keep running when the street goes dark. It's one of the most common reasons Byron locals call us, and at the assessment we'll show you exactly which circuits stay live.
Feed-in tariffs keep dropping, does that really change the maths?
Completely. Exporting your excess earns a fraction of what evening grid power costs you, so the value has shifted from selling solar to keeping it. That gap between export price and peak price is exactly what a battery captures, we'll show you the numbers on your own bill.
