Advantages of Storage Battery Installation

Energy Independence and Security

A storage battery allows you to store excess solar energy for use during the night or during power outages, ensuring you have a reliable power source even when the grid goes down. This provides peace of mind, especially in areas prone to blackouts or during emergencies, giving you greater control over your energy needs.

Maximized Savings

With a storage battery, you can store energy generated by your solar panels during the day when electricity rates are low and use it during peak hours when utility rates are higher. This “time-of-use” strategy helps you save even more on your electricity bills by avoiding the higher rates associated with peak demand periods.

Increased Solar System Efficiency

By combining solar panels with a storage battery, you ensure that no excess energy goes to waste. Instead of sending surplus power back to the grid, which may not always provide financial rewards, you can store it and use it when needed, making your solar energy system more efficient and effective at meeting your home’s energy demands.

Frequently Asked Questions

A storage battery works by storing excess energy generated by your solar panels during the day when the sun is shining. This stored energy can then be used later, such as at night or during periods of high electricity demand, reducing your reliance on the grid. Essentially, it acts as a backup power source, allowing you to maximize the benefits of your solar system and ensure a continuous supply of energy.

Most modern home energy storage batteries last between 10 and 15 years, depending on the type of battery and how much it is used. Some batteries come with warranties that guarantee a certain number of charge cycles (the number of times the battery can be fully charged and discharged), often ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 cycles. Over time, the battery's storage capacity may decrease slightly, but it will still provide backup power throughout its lifespan.

The cost of a storage battery depends on factors such as capacity, brand, and installation. On average, home storage batteries can range from $5,000 to $15,000, including installation. While the upfront cost can be significant, incentives, tax credits, and long-term savings on your energy bills can make the investment worthwhile. With a storage battery, you also reduce reliance on the grid and avoid fluctuating electricity rates, which can lead to substantial savings over time.

Yes, it's possible to install a storage battery without solar panels, but the battery will primarily store energy from the grid. This can still provide benefits, such as backup power during outages or the ability to store cheaper electricity during off-peak hours for later use. However, pairing a battery with solar panels optimizes the system's efficiency and increases the amount of energy you can store for free, reducing overall electricity costs.

Yes! A storage battery can provide backup power during a power outage. The battery will discharge stored energy to your home, keeping essential appliances running, such as lights, refrigerators, or medical devices. Depending on the size of the battery and your energy usage, you may be able to keep your entire home powered or only critical systems until the grid is restored.

Don’t just take our word for it...

We had Level Electrical install a large 20Kw solar system on our roof about two months ago. Nic was incredibly helpful and honest as he quoted and taught us our options, and the team on the installation day were professional, clean and efficient. Our solar system is working like a dream and we're throwing extra power back in to the grid too. Nic also went out of his was to analyse our needs and help us future proof our power usage with some extra care and thought that we couldn't find elsewhere. Getting solar is stressful as there is so many companies all promising to be the best, but I would highly recommend Level to anyone interested in solar. You won't regret it!

The team at Level Electrical and Solar were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish installing Solar at my property.
Despite the weather conditions the team managed to complete the job at hand. The installers were courteous and happy to answer any queries. The contact from administration was also appreciated with a follow up phone call.
I have no hesitation in recommending Level Electrical and Solar.

We were left in the lurch by another electrician who had clearly taken on a job that too big and beyond his expertise. Fortunately we were lucky enough to find Dave and his team at Level Electrical. After a site visit and an in depth discussion about our electrical and Solar needs they pulled out all stops to meet our builders timeline. Ensured our solar was significant for our use! Excellent service, excellent quality, competitively priced. Cannot recommend enough to use these guys you won’t regret it !!

I found these guys in hipages, they contacted me straight away. I told them that I wanted to put in an air conditioner for warmth and that I am a pensioner so don’t have a lot to spend. They were fantastic and booked me in on my pay day so I could pay them a deposit with a payment plan in place. They were here on the time they stated and worked hard at it, explaining the process all the way even though I really didn’t understand the process they came back and made the changes to the pipes that I asked and put a pump in place for me. They were very polite and explained the cleaning process to me. I couldn’t be happier, the house is nice and warm and I know it will be cool in summer!
