Financial Considerations of Solar Battery Installation


Solar batteries play a significant role in reducing your carbon footprint and promoting sustainable energy generation.

  • Batteries Cost

    The cost of solar batteries varies depending on the type and capacity. Lithium batteries, for example, tend to be more expensive than lead-acid batteries but also offer a longer lifespan and better performance. We'll provide transparent pricing and help you understand the potential return on your investment.

  • Installation Cost

    The installation cost can depend on several factors, including the complexity of the installation and any necessary modifications to your existing system. We aim to provide competitive pricing and top-quality service for all our installations.

  • Cost Savings

    While there's an upfront cost to installing a solar battery, the potential savings over time can be significant. Using stored solar energy reduces your reliance on the electricity grid, lowering your electricity bills. Plus, any excess energy you feed back into the grid could earn you a further feed in tariff back-in tariff.

  • Solar Incentives

    There are various federal and local incentives available to solar PV system owners, which can help offset the cost of your solar and battery. We'll guide you through the available incentives and how to apply for them.

  • Financing Options

    We offer various financing options to make solar battery installation more affordable. Our team will work with you to find a plan that fits your budget and helps you achieve energy independence sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions on Solar Battery Installation

You may have several questions about solar battery installation. Here are some common queries we encounter.

  • How long do solar batteries last?

    The lifespan of a solar battery can vary depending on the type, usage, and maintenance. On average, you can expect most solar batteries to last between 5 to 15 years.

  • Do solar batteries work during power outages?

    Yes, one of the advantages of using energy storage units like these is their ability to supply backup power during blackouts. However, the duration and extent of this backup power depend on factors such as the size of your energy storage unit, its storage and battery capacity itself, and your household's energy consumption.


    Under normal operation, the energy-generating equipment installed on your roof produces electricity whenever there is sunlight. This power is used instantly by your household, fed back to the electricity grid if it exceeds your needs, or stored in your home batteries or energy storage unit for later use.


    In case of a blackout, an energy storage system paired with an appropriately sized hybrid inverter can disconnect from the grid and establish a 'microgrid', or virtual power plant, allowing your home to function independently from the main electricity network. This process is commonly referred to as 'islanding'.


    The power reserved in the storage unit can then be utilized to supply electricity to your household, providing backup power until the grid power is reinstated or the storage unit is drained. The energy-generating equipment may continue to charge the storage battery inverter unit during daylight hours, thereby extending the duration of the backup power.


    It's important to clarify that not all energy storage units can provide backup power during a blackout. Some energy storage systems, particularly older models or budget-friendly options, might lack this feature. At Perth Solar Direct, we're here to provide advice on the best energy solutions to meet your specific needs, including offering backup power capabilities.


    For residences that encounter frequent or extended blackouts, having an energy storage unit that can deliver reliable backup power can be transformative. It's one of the multiple benefits of integrating energy storage with your energy-generating system, granting energy independence and peace of mind.

  • How to maintain solar batteries for optimal performance?

    Regular maintenance and servicing, like what we offer at Perth Solar Direct, can ensure your solar battery performs optimally. This includes checking the connections, monitoring performance, and keeping the system clean.

  • Can I install solar batteries myself?

    Solar battery installation should be carried out by a professional to ensure safety and optimal performance. Incorrect installation can damage the battery and potentially void the warranty.

  • What is the ideal size of a solar battery for my home or business?

    Determining the perfect size for your solar energy storage unit is crucial in maximizing the benefits usable capacity of your solar energy system. The appropriate size depends on several factors, including your energy consumption patterns, the capacity of your solar energy system, and how much energy you want to reserve for later use.


    The first factor, your energy consumption, can be determined by analyzing your electricity bills over a year. This will provide a good understanding of your average daily electricity usage. For a residential home, this electricity bill usually falls between 15 to 30 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per day, but it can be significantly higher for businesses.


    The second factor to consider is the size of your solar energy system. If you have a large system that produces a lot of energy, you may need a bigger storage unit to store excess power.


    Alternatively, if your system is smaller and you still want to be largely energy independent, you may also require a larger storage unit to store energy for use when your system isn't producing enough power, such as during cloudy days or at night.


    The third factor is how much energy you want to store for later use. This depends on your goals. If you want to maximize self-consumption and minimize reliance on the grid, you might need a larger storage unit. However, if your main goal is to have a backup energy source for power outages, a smaller unit may suffice.


    In the initial consultation with Perth Solar Direct, our experienced consultants can help determine the ideal size for your solar energy storage unit. We analyze your energy consumption patterns, the size and productivity of your solar energy system, your goals, and your budget to recommend a storage unit that will meet your needs and provide the maximum return on investment. Every home or business is unique, and our approach is to provide a customized solution that fits your specific requirements.
