the benefits of solar and battery storage
greater energy autonomy
self-consumption
Our solar systems are designed to collect excess energy during the sunniest parts of the day. This energy is stored and can be used during the evening or when solar generation is low, reducing your dependence on the national grid. This setup is incredibly beneficial during unexpected power outages or periods of high energy rates.
increased financial savings
reduced energy bills
Using stored solar energy during peak tariff times helps you avoid higher energy costs, thereby lowering your overall utility expenses. These savings can significantly offset the initial costs of installing your solar and battery systems.
potential for revenue
You can also generate additional income by selling excess energy back to the grid, facilitated by the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which provides payments for the surplus solar energy you export.
increased property value
attractiveness to buyers
Properties equipped with solar and battery systems are more appealing to potential buyers who value energy efficiency and potential savings. This can enhance your property’s resale value.
desirability in market
As energy costs continue to escalate and environmental awareness grows, the demand for homes with renewable energy solutions is on the rise.
reduced environmental impact
sustainable energy use
Integrating solar panels with battery storage forms an efficient energy system that responsibly uses natural resources. This is critical in combating climate change and reducing environmental degradation.
