How does solar battery storage work?
A simple grid connected solar system does not need batteries to function.
However, the solar panels on your roof are creating more power than is needed by your home, then the excess goes into the grid. Later, if your panels can’t produce enough electricity, electricity is drawn from the grid to make up the difference.
A battery might be a good option for consumers who want to use their own electricity production during off peak hours i.e. night-time or on gloomy days when the sun is not shinning or if you are experiencing frequent power outages. Home battery storage makes it possible to store the sun’s energy and use it again at night
Here is how a battery storage system works as an example:
People consuming energy from their local utility during “peak times,” usually between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m., pay higher rates for that energy usage than when consuming energy during non-peak hours. A consumer with a battery bank can feed off their batteries during those peak times and avoid paying the higher utility rates.
When 100 percent self-sufficiency isn’t the goal, a battery bank is still a great way to significantly decrease total dependence on the grid for your PV system’s backup. Many homeowners want the security of knowing they can supply a day or two of electricity without relying on generation from their panels or their local utility.
LG Chem is one of the clear leaders in Australia’s burgeoning home battery storage market. The company’s RESU lithium battery made a big splash when it was introduced last year as an affordable, high-quality competitor with Telsa’s much vaunted Powerwall. LG Chem has not rested on its laurels, however, having already introduced the next generation of lithium battery banks with a sleeker appearance and more flexible sizing options

SolaX Power recently announced the launch of its highly awaited 3rd generation solar battery storage Hybrid inverter. The newly launched product includes a single-phase and a three-phase model and is compatible with leading lithium-ion battery solutions with this making it one of the most popular sought after energy storage solution.
Its ‘E’ version of X-Hybrid contains an in-built EPS or Emergency Power Supply function which enables the user to operate using its battery and PV array in case of a power cut. Further, the “E” series can be installed entirely off the grid and continue supplying power to essential electrical appliances in the absence of power from the grid.
Tesla has managed to double their battery’s Capacity, reduce its physical size and build in an invertor. It can offer upto 7+ days continuous power during an outage. You will not even notice that the power went out.
A self-powered home combines solar energy and Tesla Powerwall to independently power your home day and night. During the day, solar panels may produce more energy than your home uses. Powerwall stores that excess solar energy and makes it available on demand, even after the sun has set. Through the Tesla app, you will have full visibility into your self-powered home.

As a part of the quoting process, we fashion an optimum LED lighting design for our customers. An experienced lighting expert will come and have a word with you. The expert will quickly asses your property to determine the areas where energy efficiency can be increased. It should be noted here that the expert takes into consideration the General interior and workplace lighting standards in accordance with your requirements without making any compromises on the lighting output (illumination levels). A detailed report shall be submitted after the installations to cater to any amendments or unsatisfactory grievances from the customer
Recycling Old Lamps: We will organise for your old lamps to be recycled and for any dangerous materials (for example, mercury in fluoro lamps) to be safely disposed of.
Outdated home lighting can be a huge energy sucker. Halogen lamps and old incandescent spend a lot of energy just to heating the elements to produce light. LED lights use cooler light emitting diodes that don’t have heating filaments within them thereby saving you almost 85% on your energy bill. They also help reduce your HVAC load during summers.
Why not make use of the FREE lighting schemes available and install LED downlights and reflector lamps that are both aesthetically driven and energy efficient.
How to Order?
Please give us a call on 1300 242 985 so we can organise a consultant to come over and assess your residence. After that a Certified A Grade electrician will come to your house and complete the installation with minimal disruption
