Battery storage
Store the power you make by day and use it at night. Independent advice on sizing, brands, backup and real payback — from a local team, not a call centre.
Feed-in tariffs have fallen while grid rates keep climbing, so exporting surplus solar earns a fraction of what it costs to buy that power back at night. Storage closes that gap — and adds blackout protection through storm season.
Use more of your own solar
Self-consumption typically rises from ~35% to 75%+.
Backup through outages
Essential circuits stay live when the grid drops.
Ready for an EV
Charge overnight from stored solar, not peak grid.
Retrofit friendly
Add storage to most existing solar systems.

A quick guide based on Sunshine Coast sun hours and current QLD tariffs.

Premium brands we install
Most Sunshine Coast households install between 10kWh and 16kWh of storage. Installed pricing typically lands between $8,000 and $16,000 depending on brand, backup capability and switchboard work. We quote the net figure after any available incentives so there are no surprises.
Match storage to your evening usage, not your total bill. A household using around 20kWh a day usually consumes 8-12kWh after sunset, so a 10-13kWh battery covers most nights without oversizing.
Only if it is installed with a backup gateway and a dedicated essential-loads circuit. We wire backup for storm season so lights, fridge, internet and selected power points stay live when the grid drops out.
Usually yes. AC-coupled batteries retrofit alongside almost any existing inverter. We inspect your current setup, check switchboard capacity and confirm compatibility before quoting.
With feed-in tariffs now low, batteries on the Sunshine Coast typically pay back in roughly 7-11 years, faster for households with high evening use, a pool, or an EV charging overnight.
