Store Your Energy and Lower Your Bills With a Solar Battery
Upgrade your home’s solar system with a new battery to save on peak hour costs and ensure protection during blackouts.
We’re facing an uncertain energy future in Australia
Rising Energy Costs
You invested in solar, but now the big energy companies want to pay less for your extra energy. At the same time, their energy is 5 times the price. Does that seem fair?
Reliability Issues
As the demand for power increases and our energy grid is ageing, blackouts are predicted to become more and more frequent. This will also drive up prices.
Surging Power Demand
Electric vehicles, big businesses and the growing average home size in Australia all mean we are going to need a lot of power in the years ahead.

Frequently asked questions
Solar batteries store energy produced by your solar panels so you can use that energy later (for example, when the sun has gone down). When you install a battery as part of your system, you can store the excess energy it produces at your home, rather than sending it back to the grid. And because they store energy at your home, you’ve got short-term backup power if there’s ever a blackout.
Absolutely, now more than ever. Not every household is at home during the daytime and unfortunately feed in tariffs are the lowest they’ve ever been. If you are only being paid 5 - 10c for your FIT, but you are being charged over 50c at night, a battery will increase your savings. The most important part is selecting the right size for your existing system.
This depends on what battery you buy, and of course, the company you buy it through. Most reputable batteries have a warranty of 10 years. A properly sized, installed and maintained battery will last for much longer than this.
Yes! We have batteries to suit any system. The most important part is choosing the right size battery that can capture your excess energy and provide it to you at night when you need it. Our energy experts will conduct a thorough analysis, so you know your battery is the right fit.
Absolutely! At Smart Energy, we can provide comprehensive quotes tailored to your property and energy needs. Our expert team will assess your roof space, energy usage, and preferences to design the perfect solar system for your home.
95% of batteries can go inside and outside, so they can be easily placed next to your inverter, your garage, or if you really want to, in your living room. They’re usually no bigger than a computer modem and can be easily hidden away.
People don’t tend to spend every minute at home, and you’re very unlikely to use all the power the system generates. Having a battery also qualifies you for a Virtual Power Plant, or VPP. It’s a system of home solar and battery systems working together to generate and store energy, and feed energy into the grid. Once your system and battery are hooked up, we will be able to remotely charge it or discharge energy from it back into the grid. For example, we can do this during times of high demand so you’re getting paid more money for the energy you’re selling back to the grid.
It builds up as a credit on your bill which, if you are in credit on your total bill - you can withdraw that money to your bank account. It’s no different to your energy retailer charging you. Basically you’re charging them for energy when normally they charge you.
A general battery only takes around 2 hours to install, and then you’ll be up and running.
