How much could a solar battery save your home?

  • Free savings estimate from your power bill — under 30 seconds, no sign-up
  • If it stacks up, free quotes from up to 3 vetted installers
  • Vetted installers only — typically 2+ years in business, decent reviews. See the Shortlist Solar Standards

The same battery, fitted by two different crews, is two different systems — the install decides the outcome more than the hardware does.

The solar battery you choose is important, But the installer you select matters even more.

That's why we vet every solar company before you see a quote. Start with your savings estimate — you'll only hear from installers if you ask to.

Cheap now, expensive later

The cheaper the battery, the cheaper the install. A cheap battery quote becomes an expensive problem if you pick the wrong installer — you get quoted to rip the system out and start again. The design, the panel work and the commissioning are where a battery goes right or wrong.

Why the installer matters more than the hardware

The same battery, fitted by two different crews, is two different systems. Circuits that were never backed up, panels strung for the wrong inverter, a controller left on its defaults — none of that shows on the brochure and all of it shows in year one.

See if a battery's worth it for your home — free estimate, under 30 seconds.
