Steps to Get Your Solar Battery System Installed

Residential Battery Installation Flow Chart

1. Energy Audit & Assessment

  • Identify "must-run" appliances (fridge, lights, medical devices).

  • Analyze average daily energy usage ($kWh$).

  • Determine backup duration requirements.

↓

2. System Selection & Solar Integration

  • Choose battery size based on budget and space.

  • Optional: Connect with existing solar panels to store excess generation.

  • Finalize hardware (Inverter + Battery storage).

↓

3. Site Planning & Compliance

  • Location: Ensure a cool, dry, ventilated area (e.g., garage).

  • Clearance: Maintain 600mm distance from doors, windows, or gas appliances.

  • Proximity: Position the management panel near the main electrical board.

↓

4. Professional Installation

  • Licensed installer mounts and wires the battery.

  • Integration with solar inverters and main switchboard.

  • Configuration of the Energy Management System (EMS).

↓

5. Monitoring & Digital Setup

  • Connect the system to home Wi-Fi.

  • Set up the mobile app/dashboard.

  • Verify real-time data: Charge levels, solar flow, and grid usage.

↓

6. Commissioning & Optimization

  • Test: Verify smooth switchover during simulated outages.

  • Compliance: Final safety checks and certifications.

  • Savings: Identify a 3-hour free charging window with your retailer and program the app to charge during this period.
