Solar Batteries Sydney - Why You Should Consider Installing Solar Batteries
Solar batteries Sydney are a great way to boost your energy security and reduce your carbon footprint. They can also help you save money and benefit from Government rebates.
Talk to your solar retailer or installer about the battery models they offer and search the Clean Energy Council’s approved battery list to ensure the batteries meet electrical safety and quality standards.
Reduced Electricity Bills
A solar battery stores excess energy from your panels for use later in the day or at night. This reduces your reliance on the grid and cuts your electricity bills. Combined with time-of-use electricity plans, batteries help you save on evening peak charges and other high electricity usage periods.
However, energy prices vary by state and energy retailer. Ensure your battery is sized well for your household to maximise savings. You can also make more money by joining a virtual power plant (VPP) to sell energy back to the grid.
Depending on your electricity plan and your solar system, you may be eligible for rebates and low-interest loans to help with installation costs. These can cut upfront expenses and shorten your payback period.
No Noise Pollution
When combined with time-of-use electricity plans, solar batteries reduce your reliance on the grid and significantly lower your energy bills. This helps you achieve your sustainability goals while reducing carbon emissions and helping the transition to renewable energy.
The problem is that if you don’t choose the right battery, your home battery system could be noisy. Noise pollution is caused by poor quality batteries and by inverters that are overloaded. It can also be caused by vibration transferred from the inverter to the walls due to improper mounting or a lack of sound insulation.
This problem is exacerbated by the fact that installers are incentivised to sell consumers as large batteries as possible, in order to attract the rebate under the government’s Cheaper Homes Battery Scheme. This is why it’s important to seek multiple quotes from accredited solar installation companies and to ensure that the batteries you are considering are on the Clean Energy Council’s approved battery list.
Environmentally Friendly
The environment is a priority for many Australian households. With energy prices at an all-time high, homeowners are seeking sustainable solutions to reduce their reliance on the grid. Solar batteries are increasingly being seen as a key solution. By storing excess solar power, it is possible to avoid costly electricity bills, especially during peak usage periods. In conjunction with time-of-use electricity plans, it is also possible to make further savings.
Energy storage also reduces waste. Traditionally, excess solar energy is sent back to the grid or lost. Batteries enable the energy to be stored, thereby improving energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
We offer a wide range of solar battery packages to suit your energy needs. Our battery bundles offer you a fully installed, high-capacity home energy storage system with smart app monitoring and a 10-year locally backed warranty. Plus, you’ll save $1,000s with the Federal battery rebate (available while stocks last). We can help you explore your options and find the right solution for your home.
Government Rebates and Incentives
The Australian Government has a great incentive for installing solar batteries called the Cheaper Home Batteries Program. It provides an upfront discount that lowers the cost of a modest-sized battery by around 25%. It's a subsidy that is built on the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) framework that already delivers the national solar panel rebate.
The federal rebate is based on the usable capacity of your battery and can be worth up to $372 per kWh after administration fees. That translates to around 30% of the total system cost for a 10kWh battery.
The value of your rebate is reflected in a Small-scale Technology Certificates (STC) credit that is created by the REC Registry when you register your eligible system. Our accredited installers will apply these STCs for you and deduct them from your system price. This creates transparent quotes that show all rebate deductions upfront. With Stag Electrical, you can be confident you're receiving maximum rebate value and positioning yourself for future savings.
