Solar + Battery for Queensland Homes
Maximise your energy independence with a tailored solar and battery system. Take advantage of federal rebates worth thousands—and stop paying peak electricity rates.
A complete solar and battery system transforms how you power your home
Why Solar + Battery
Slash Your Power Bills
Reduce electricity costs by up to 80% with solar + battery storage
Store Excess Energy
Bank your daytime solar power for evening and night-time use
Energy Independence
Reduce reliance on the grid and protect against rising power prices
Blackout Protection
Keep essential appliances running during power outages
Lower Carbon Footprint
Power your home with clean, renewable energy 24/7
Peak Rate Avoidance
Use stored energy during expensive peak tariff periods
How Solar & Batteries Works
Generate, store, and use clean energy around the clock
Now Is the Best Time to Go Solar & Battery
Federal STC Rebates
The Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme provides upfront discounts on typical systems. These rebates reduce annually until 2030.
Rising Electricity Prices
Queensland electricity prices have increased significantly in recent years. Solar + battery locks in your energy costs.
Declining Battery Costs
Battery prices have dropped over 70% in the past decade, making storage more accessible than ever.
Solar Smart EV Charger
Charge your EV with free solar energy
A solar smart charger intelligently directs excess solar energy into charging your electric vehicle during the day, reducing grid reliance and fuel costs. It can prioritise solar charging first, switch between grid and solar when needed, and be scheduled to charge during off-peak or free energy periods.
View Benefits
- Prioritises solar charging to maximise free energy use
- Automatic switching between solar and grid power
- Scheduling for off-peak and free energy windows
- Reduces EV running costs significantly
Hot Water Timer
Heat water during peak solar hours
A solar hot water timer intelligently diverts your excess daytime solar power to heat your hot water tank during peak sun hours. This effectively turns your existing hot water system into a highly cost-effective "thermal battery," eliminating the need to heat water using expensive night-time grid tariff rates.
View Benefits
- Shifts hot water heating to solar production hours
- Reduces reliance on expensive grid electricity
- Simple, cost-effective upgrade
- Works with most electric hot water systems
Power Upgrade
For larger homes, bigger solar systems, and future-proofing your energy setup, upgrading from single phase to three phase power can unlock significant benefits.
Single Phase vs Three Phase Power
Reduced Voltage Rise
This reform significantly increases the value of larger inverter capacity and battery storage. Future-proof your home now — and remember to ask your retailer to opt-in when the SSO becomes available.
Future-Proofing
Prepare for EV charging infrastructure, home electrification upgrades, and commercial-grade equipment.
Advantages for Solar & Batteries
Better Load Distribution
Evenly distribute heavy loads like air conditioning, EV charging, and pool pumps across three phases.
Not sure if you need three phases ?
It’s a smart move if you’re adding high-demand gear like ducted air-con, a pool, an EV charger, a workshop, or a larger solar + battery setup, helping reduce nuisance tripping and voltage drop. It can also future-proof your home, making it easier to expand without electrical headaches
Why Consider Upgrading to Three Phase?
Greater Load Capacity
Handle larger electrical loads without overloading circuits—ideal for bigger homes with multiple high-draw appliances.
Larger Solar Systems
Single-phase homes face strict limits on inverter sizes and solar export limits (typically capped at 5kW by Energex). Upgrading to three-phase power allows you to install much larger solar systems (15kW to 30kW+) and export more energy back to the grid without restriction, allowing you to maximize the benefits of the Solar Sharer Offer.
Improved Battery Performance
Three-phase power allows you to install larger, commercial-grade hybrid inverters that charge and discharge your battery backup system much faster. This ensures that even high-draw appliances running simultaneously across your home can be comfortably powered by your battery storage during peak periods or blackouts.

Reduced Voltage Rise
Tln high solar export areas, three phase reduces voltage rise issues that can limit system performance.
