For the best Solar Battery Backup Systems Gold Coast to Brisbane
It's Time To Get Off The Grid with a Solar Battery Backup System
SOLAR BATTERY SYSTEMS
GET THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS WITH A HYBRID SOLAR BATTERY SYSTEM
Regular PV solar arrays feed all energy produced into the household and send any excess energy back to the grid. Typically, households will use the solar energy at around 60-70% efficiency but with a battery the energy is stored and consumed exactly when the house needs it so that it's possible to achieve 100% efficiency.
Did you know?
A 6.5kW solar array in Brisbane will produce an average of 27.3kWh/day which equates to 99,645kWh over a 10-year period.
Solar batteries allow everyone to use the maximum amount of energy produced by their solar panels and inverter system.
In monetary terms this means that, instead of selling the excess power that you generate back to your energy retailer for a few cents per kWh and then being charged for your evening power usage at a much, much higher rate you get to use that excess energy after it is stored in your solar battery.
The storage capacity of modern solar batteries is usually about 10kWh, which is enough to power the average Gold Coast or Brisbane home during the night. And while you are using the power stored in your solar battery, you won't be using expensive power from your energy retailer.
BOB IS THRILLED WITH HIS NEW SOLAR BATTERY ENERGY PACKAGE
"The arrow pointing towards the grid is what excites me, even if 1.374 Kw only represents an un-taxed income of 8.244 cents per hour!!
At 11:47 am today:
- Panels generating 5.693 Kw
- 2.389 Kw going into the batteries which are now 96.2% full
- 785 watts going into the house – and my inverter pool pump is running at low power and 2.306 Kw being fed back into the grid.
I suspect we are very close to “break even”, although the days are very sunny.
I’m not a Greenie, in fact I’m a climate sceptic! I simply hate being screwed by the monopoly power generators. "

HOW DO SOLAR BATTERIES WORK?
When you don’t use all the power produced by your solar system during the sunny periods or you may not be home to use the excess power or have less demand for the power, the excess power can be exported back to the grid and your retailer will pay you or place a credit on your account.
However with the recent changes to export restrictions and changes in feed in tariffs have seen drops in the price per kilowatt & you paying a higher rate for electricity at night.
With Battery backup the excess power can be used to charge your batteries. This gives you the opportunity to use the stored power in your batteries that has been generated during the day in the evenings or peak times, this means a cheaper electricity bill and you may find yourself not paying for any electricity.
Hybrid vs Couple Solar Battery Systems
Coupled solar batteries plug into an external inverter which then connects to the Solar Panels on your roof.
On the other hand, Hybrid Solar Batteries have a solar inverter build into the battery system and do not require an external inverter as a step between the battery and the solar panels on your roof.
Off-Grid Solar Battery Systems
Not all solar batteries are able to supply stored energy unless they are connected to the power infrastructure through your energy retailer.
If you need to go totally off-grid, then you will need an off-grid solar battery system.
You will need us to work out with your help which appliances you want to connect to your off-grid solar system, because each appliance has different power requirements (i.e. consider their consumption and current (amps) levels).
This will help us to determine the "size" of the solar off-grid system we install for you. We take the energy requirements for each of these "typical appliances" you intend using and calculate the power required to run these.
You can speak to us about these requirements when we are on site for the quotation or give us a call to discuss your needs.
All Solar Battery Systems are not created equal
Not all solar batteries are manufactured to the same standards.
The solar system you have as well as the charge and discharge rates of the different solar batteries will impact the speed at which a solar battery will charge as well as the amount of energy you can use to power your home or business.
For example, if your battery has a 2.3 kW discharge rate, and the load in your home is 3.3 kW, you will draw 2.3 kW from the battery and 1.0 kW from your energy retailer.
Likewise, if your solar system is generating 4.6 kW, and the load in the house is 1.0 kW, and the charge rate on your solar battery is only 2.3 kW, then only 2.3kW will feed into your battery. The remaining or excess 1.3 kW will flow back into the grid. Therefore a battery with a higher charge rate will be needed to prevent such a large amount of power going back to your energy retailer. And of course you only receive a few miserable cents for all this excess energy going back to the retailer!!
