Solar battery Cash back $200 - SA only

Most modern home batteries (primarily Lithium Iron Phosphate / LiFePO4 chemistry) last 10 to 15 years, typically backed by a 10-year warranty. Warranty performance generally guarantees 60%–70% residual capacity retention at the end of the term.

DC-Coupled: Connected to the solar array before the inverter, sharing a single "hybrid" inverter. Best for brand-new solar-plus-battery installations due to higher round-trip efficiency. AC-Coupled: Placed downstream of an existing solar inverter, utilizing its own dedicated battery inverter. Best for retrofitting a battery onto an existing, operational solar setup

It is optional. Standard solar systems shut down during outages to protect line workers (anti-islanding). Backup functionality requires an active Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) / Emergency Power Supply (EPS) to connect into your existing circuits. If you need that function to be actived, please make sure you request it before sign up the quote. Installer can connect this interface backup circuit in your switchboard and do the configuration same time.

Batteries are generally wall- or floor-mounted in cool, well-ventilated areas like garages, carports, or protected exterior walls. standard rules dictate minimum clearance distances (e.g., 600mm laterally from windows/doors and 900mm vertically from obstructions) and prohibit installation inside habitable rooms (bedrooms, kitchens).

Yes. If you are on a Time-of-Use (ToU) or dynamic spot-price tariff, you can configure your battery system to pull electricity from the grid during off-peak windows (e.g., you sign up a 4 hours free plan with Globird energy). The stored cheap energy is then discharged during expensive peak evening hours to minimize grid bills.

It is possible, but usually not cost-effective for urban or suburban homes. Going completely off-grid requires sizing a system for several consecutive cloudy winter days (autonomy), which typically demands a massive solar array, a battery system $2\times$ to $3\times$ larger than standard, and a backup diesel/petrol generator. Most homeowners opt for grid-tied storage to keep installation costs reasonable while retaining a grid safety net.
