A solar battery for a house is a lithium-ion energy storage system that connects to your solar panel array and stores the electricity your panels generate during the day.

Electricity you would otherwise export to the Energex grid for around 5 cents per kilowatt-hour. Instead of that surplus power going to your neighbour's house at a loss, it sits in your battery and powers your home in the evening when your panels are no longer producing.

When your battery is full and your solar panels are still generating, only then does excess power export to the grid. For Gold Coast homeowners, the maths is compelling.

The gap between what Energex pays you for exported solar power and what you pay to import power from the grid sits at around 25 cents per kilowatt-hour. Every unit of solar energy you store and self-consume instead of exporting and re-buying saves you the full import rate rather than just earning you the low feed-in tariff.

Beyond bill savings, a solar battery provides blackout protection. When the grid goes down, whether from a storm, a local fault, or network maintenance, your battery switches your home to stored power automatically, keeping your lights, fridge, and essential appliances running.
