Solar Batteries: Store More of Your Solar Energy with The Heat Shop

If you have solar panels at your home, a solar battery can help you make better use of the energy your system generates. Instead of sending excess solar power back to the grid during the day, a battery stores it for use in the evening and overnight.

For homeowners across Geelong and the Surf Coast, solar battery storage can help reduce reliance on grid electricity, improve energy independence and make greater use of your existing solar investment.

The Benefits of Solar Battery Storage

One of the biggest benefits of a home battery is the ability to store excess solar energy and use it when your solar panels are no longer producing electricity. This can help reduce the amount of electricity you purchase from the grid.

Battery storage can also provide backup power, depending on the system selected and how your installation is configured. Some systems can provide power to selected circuits or the whole home during a grid outage.

The Heat Shop installers can assess your household’s energy use, existing solar system and future electricity requirements to help determine the right battery solution.

Tesla Powerwall 3 & Sigenergy

The Heat Shop can provide battery solutions including Tesla Powerwall 3 and Sigenergy systems. Tesla Powerwall 3 provides 13.5 kWh of energy storage and includes an integrated inverter, while suitable systems can also provide backup power during an outage.

Sigenergy offers another option for homeowners looking for an integrated energy storage solution. The right battery depends on your solar system, energy consumption, available space and backup requirements.

STCs & Victorian Solar Rebates

Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) can reduce the upfront cost of eligible solar installations, with the STC value generally incorporated into the quoted system price.

It is important to understand that Victoria’s previous Solar Homes battery loan program is no longer accepting applications. Current battery incentives may instead include the Australian Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program, subject to eligibility requirements.
