Do I need a solar battery?
Simple solar panel systems do not require batteries to operate, however if you want to store energy for later use or send energy back to the grid at strategic times to capitalise on energy price variations, then a solar battery is a wise investment. With Perth’s abundant amount of sunshine year around it makes sense to store daytime energy and utilise it when the sun goes down.
Did you know that a well designed combination of rooftop solar and battery storage can reduce your power bills by 90-95%?
Residential Solar FAQs
How do solar batteries work?
Solar batteries store the energy produced by your solar panels. This energy is drawn upon when the solar panels are not producing energy, such as at night. Electricity is drawn from the grid only when the battery is depleted. The solar battery will then send electricity back to the grid once it is fully charged, and you’ll only draw electricity from the grid when your battery is depleted.

How much does it cost to go off-grid in WA?
Going off-grid can be more expensive upfront than a standard solar system due to the need for larger battery storage and backup power. However, the long-term savings from avoiding electricity bills can balance this out. For more details, read our blog: Living Off-Grid: Is Solar the Right Choice for Your WA Home?
