Overview
What is a home battery?
A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) stores electricity, usually from your rooftop solar, so you can use it later, such as in the evening. Because grid power is typically most expensive in the evening and solar feed-in tariffs are low during the day, storing your own energy can reduce your bills considerably.
It works like a rechargeable power bank for your home: excess solar charges the battery during the day, and you draw on that stored energy at night or during peak times. It is one of the upgrades you may be able to choose through Home Energy Saver.
A battery is most useful alongside rooftop solar. Your home assessment confirms the right battery and size before anything is installed.
suitability
Is it right for your home?
A home battery may suit your home if you:
- have solar, or are installing solar at the same time
- use electricity in the late afternoon and evening
- want more energy independence and some backup during outages
Your property assessment confirms the right battery and size for your home before anything is installed.
