Make More of Your Solar
Your Solar Energy Does Not Have to End at Sunset
Solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours, but your property may use more energy in the evening or at other times when solar production is lower.
A battery stores suitable excess solar energy so it can be used later, helping you make better use of the electricity generated by your solar system.
Battery storage can be considered with a new solar installation or assessed for compatibility with an existing system.
Battery Storage Benefits
Greater Control Over Your Property’s Energy
Use More of Your Own Solar Energy
Store suitable excess solar generation instead of relying only on immediate daytime consumption.
Reduce Evening Grid Reliance
Use stored energy when solar production falls and household or business demand continues.
Improve Energy Visibility
Compatible monitoring platforms can help you understand solar generation, battery charge, consumption, and grid use.
Explore Backup Power Options
Selected battery systems can support designated backup circuits during an outage when the system is designed and configured for backup operation.
Residential and Commercial Storage
Battery Storage Planned Around How You Use Energy
Every property is different. A home in Victoria may need a different panel layout compared to a warehouse, factory, pharmacy, child care centre, or commercial site. Solar Brightness reviews the project before recommending a panel brand or system size.
Battery System Planning
Battery Capacity Should Match Your Energy Pattern
Electricity Usage
We consider how much electricity the property uses and when that energy is normally consumed.
Existing or Proposed Solar System
The solar capacity, inverter, generation profile, and system compatibility influence the battery recommendation.
Your Main Priority
The system may be planned around evening energy use, reduced grid reliance, monitoring, future growth, or selected backup requirements.
Installation Conditions
Available space, switchboard requirements, battery location, ventilation, electrical work, and manufacturer requirements are assessed before installation.
Energy Flow
From Daytime Solar Generation to Stored Energy
Generate Solar Energy
Your solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours.
Power the Property
The generated electricity is first used to support suitable energy demand within the home or business.
Store Available Excess Energy
Suitable excess solar energy can be directed to the battery until its available storage capacity is reached.
Use Stored Energy Later
The battery can discharge energy when solar generation is lower, subject to system settings, battery charge, and property demand.
From Assessment to Setup
A Clear Process for Adding Battery Storage
Step 1
Review the Property and Energy Use
We review electricity usage, solar generation, existing equipment, available installation space, and your battery goals.
Step 2
Recommend a Suitable System
Solar Brightness explains the proposed battery capacity, compatibility, installation requirements, monitoring, and backup configuration where relevant.
Step 3
Install and Configure the Battery
Once approved, the battery is installed, connected, configured, and prepared for system monitoring and handover.
Battery Storage Questions
What to Know Before Installing a Battery
Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?
In many cases, yes. Compatibility depends on the existing inverter, solar capacity, switchboard, electrical configuration, installation space, and battery selected.
Will a solar battery power my property during a blackout?
Not automatically. Blackout support requires a compatible battery system, suitable backup equipment, and designated circuits. The available backup capacity depends on the system design and battery charge.
How much battery capacity do I need?
The suitable capacity depends on your electricity usage, evening demand, solar generation, budget, backup priorities, and the amount of stored energy you are likely to use.
Can I install solar panels and a battery at the same time?
Yes. Planning both together can help align the panels, inverter, battery, monitoring system, and future energy requirements.
Can battery storage be used for a business?
Yes. Commercial battery storage may support stored solar use, energy management, future demand, and selected backup requirements depending on the property and system design.
Are battery finance options available?
Solar Brightness works with Brighte to help eligible customers explore finance options. Finance is subject to eligibility, approval, and the provider’s terms and conditions.
