Four reasons our customers add storage
Most South East Queensland homes export power they could store. A properly sized battery flips that into usable energy and keeps essential circuits running through outages.
Store excess solar
Stop exporting your solar at low feed-in rates. Use it overnight instead, where it's worth four to five times more.
Backup power for outages
Keep lights, fridge, internet and essential circuits running through grid blackouts — automatically, within milliseconds.
Reduce grid reliance
Cut evening grid imports and shrink your nightly bills, with a system sized to your real usage profile.
Ready for EVs & all-electric
Set your home up for EV charging, hot water and induction cooking, today and into the future.
Three ways to install a home battery
Whether you have an existing solar system or starting from scratch — we recommend the configuration that suits your home, not the highest margin product on the shelf.
DC-coupled / hybrid
A hybrid inverter handles solar and battery together for higher round-trip efficiency and a single warranty. Our most-installed setup — GoodWe Lynx + ET, Sungrow SBR/SBH, or Sigenergy SigenStor.
- Single warranty
- Best round-trip efficiency
- GoodWe, Sungrow, Sigenergy
AC-coupled battery
Sits alongside your existing solar inverter — no inverter swap needed. Tesla Powerwall is the classic example, and BYD with an AC inverter also fits here.
- No solar inverter swap
- Easy retrofit
- Backup-capable
New solar + battery
If you don't have solar yet, we install solar and battery together as a single coordinated system, designed from scratch.
- One install, one warranty
- Backup-ready from day one
- Sized to your usage
Brand-agnostic specification, across South East Queensland
There's no single best battery. The right brand depends on your existing inverter, your usage and your backup goals — we specify what actually fits.
Our most-installed home battery — GoodWe Lynx Home paired with an ET hybrid inverter. Strong value, full backup capability, and well-supported Australian warranty.
Sungrow's SBR and SBH battery ranges pair tightly with their hybrid inverters.
Sigenergy's SigenStor systems combine a hybrid inverter with modular battery storage that can grow as your needs grow.
Tesla Powerwall is widely recognised in Australia — AC-coupled, 13.
BYD Battery-Box Premium HVS and HVM are modular high-voltage battery systems that pair with a wide range of hybrid inverters.
Long-term energy infrastructure for your home — not a weekend retrofit.
We design every system around your home's loads, switchboard and existing solar. Cabling, isolation, inverter pairing and backup wiring are specified to outlast the warranty period — not to hit a headline price.
How a battery install runs
No surprises. A clear quote upfront, a single-day install for most homes, and a proper handover at the end.
Site assessment
We check inverter compatibility, switchboard capacity, available wall space and your real usage profile — no guesswork.
Quote & system design
A clear, itemised quote covering the battery, install labour, backup wiring and any switchboard work. No upsells, no surprises.
Installed in a day
An accredited battery installer on-site. Grid approval handled. Full handover and monitoring setup before we leave.
Battery installation across South East Queensland
Sunshine Coast
We install home and solar batteries across the Sunshine Coast — from Caloundra through Maroochydore up to Noosa, and inland through the hinterland. Most Sunshine Coast homes have rooftop solar that's exporting power at low feed-in rates, and a properly sized battery flips that into usable storage.
Brisbane
We install home batteries across Greater Brisbane for homeowners who want lower bills, blackout protection or to prepare for EV charging and all-electric living. Brisbane's mix of high consumption, hot summers and storm activity makes a properly sized battery a strong upgrade.
Moreton Bay
We install home batteries across the Moreton Bay region — Caboolture, North Lakes, Redcliffe, Burpengary, Narangba and surrounding suburbs. Moreton Bay has one of the highest concentrations of rooftop solar in the country, and a battery is the natural next step.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does battery installation cost?
It depends on battery capacity, brand, backup configuration, and any switchboard or hybrid inverter work required. Request a quote and we'll provide a clear, itemised price for your home.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?
In most cases yes. AC-coupled batteries like Tesla Powerwall sit alongside almost any existing solar inverter. DC-coupled systems like GoodWe, Sungrow or Sigenergy replace your inverter with a hybrid unit and are usually more efficient — we'll recommend the right approach.
Will a battery run my whole house during a blackout?
It depends on the battery, inverter, your loads and switchboard. For most homes we recommend an essential-circuits backup covering lights, fridge, internet and selected power points.
What size battery do I need?
Most South East Queensland homes land between 10 kWh and 20 kWh of usable capacity. We size based on your overnight consumption, not your solar size.
Do I need a hybrid inverter?
Not always. AC-coupled batteries work with your existing solar inverter. Hybrid inverters are needed for DC-coupled batteries and offer higher round-trip efficiency.
How long does installation take?
Most residential battery installs are completed in one day on-site. Hybrid inverter swaps or switchboard upgrades may add a day.
Which battery brand is best?
There's no single best, but for most SEQ homes we specify GoodWe, Sungrow or Sigenergy first — they offer the strongest mix of value, backup capability and Australian support. Tesla Powerwall and BYD are also good options and we install them too. We'll recommend based on your existing setup and goals.
Do batteries work during grid outages?
Only if the battery and inverter are backup-capable and a backup sub-board is wired in. We add backup capability where it's missing.
Is a home battery worth it?
It depends on your evening usage, existing solar, and how much you value backup. Households with high overnight usage and existing solar typically see the strongest results.
Can I backup my air conditioner?
Often yes, but the inverter has to handle the AC's start-up surge. We do the load calculations before quoting.
