When you combine smart energy consumption with the long-term efficiency of a solar battery, you''re on the right path to saving money. But like any big investment, it''s important to know how to get the best out of your system so you can maximise the benefits available to you.
Let''s break down some of the costs and potential savings:
Your initial investmentJust as every home and business has different electricity requirements, your battery storage size (and therefore cost to purchase) will be dependent on your needs. A solar battery tends to range from $1000 – $2000 per kWh storage capacity, in addition to the installation costs for your new unit. If you have an existing panel array to retrofit, you may also need to budget for a solar inverter as well. A customised quote will give you the best idea of what battery and installation costs will suit your unique electricity needs, based on your usage and any existing panels you have in place.
''Feed-in'' tariffs verses ''peak-period'' costsWithout a solar battery, any excess solar energy that your panels produce during the day gets pushed to the electrical grid to be re-dispersed. In return you''ll receive a feed-in tariff (per kW) – the variable payment you get from your electricity retailer for sharing your excess energy. At its inception, this financial kickback was significant, however as more Australian houses join the solar revolution, over-supply has seen this advantage decline to almost negligible rates.
In addition, we are now also seeing an increased cost in supply to feed that electricity back to you at night when you need it most. This is due to the ''peak period'' strain on electrical grid resources as consumers arrive home from work and begin to switch on lights and appliances.
When you balance the lower feed-in tariffs against higher costs of drawing from the electrical grid, the advantage of using your surplus electricity yourself has stronger appeal. By retrofitting your existing panel system with a solar battery, you can put those savings back into your own pocket.
Start small and size up – choose a battery system that can expand with your needs. Buy a battery that will cover your current electricity requirements, and add additional batteries later, as you can afford it.
Do your rebate research – remember to take advantage of any solar rebates or subsidies offered in your local area to reduce your initial outlay where possible.
Be energy-consumption savvy – know your high-use electricity times and make sure your battery is timed to cover you during peak-periods. Manage your electricity load by setting your high-energy appliances for use during the day when your battery can recharge. To help you keep tabs on your electricity use, some solar batteries also allow you to monitor your system via an internet app, giving you unparalleled visibility.
A rewarding solution – not all savings are financial. By choosing to store and use your own solar energy, you''ll also have the peace of mind that comes with being energy-independent, avoiding blackouts, and promoting environmental sustainability.

The way we make and distribute electricity is changing, and centralised power and the grid are having trouble finding a cost-effective solution.
Enter RedEarth Energy Storage. This Brisbane-based startup provides Australian made electricity storage systems to residential and commercial customers in Australia.
RedEarth builds high-quality, long-lasting solar battery systems and is dedicated to the longevity of its systems, with versatile and scalable products, vigilant remote monitoring and a network of trusted technicians.
"We see what we are doing as a big change in the electricity industry. We are moving away from the centralised power generation to the distributed power generation," co-founder Chris Winter says.
"The fundamental thing that we do is make it easy to deploy our solution. Our system is all-in-one, making it very easy to deploy and install. It’s not just about screwing a battery to the wall, it''s about having hardware, helping it be installed correctly, monitoring the whole system and staying in touch with the customer moving forward.
"Although we manufacture a lot of hardware, one of our main focuses is actually managing data and from this data we are getting knowledge and benefits for our customers."
Currently the use of electricity is based around peak times and the centralised power grid is now causing problems for delivering electricity.
RedEarth not only provides an alternative solution to centralised power, but in many cases a more economic one.
"You can imagine everyone gets home, turns the air conditioning on and cooks dinner. This is already a load and the whole network has to be designed to supply that load without tripping it. It gets pretty expensive," Chris says.
"Then you add the thought of electric vehicles coming into the picture. Everyone gets home, turns the air conditioning on, cooks dinner and plugs the electric vehicle in to charge, that is putting even more stress on the grid.
"These sorts of things are making it more and more expensive to supply electricity from a remote supply with wires, so localised production and provision of electricity has fundamental advantages. Luckily for us batteries and solar panels are becoming more and more financially viable and are a technology that just works."
Chris often compares the changes happening in the electricity industry to what happened in the phone industry.
"When we went from fixed line phones to mobile phones, it worked, was more financially viable compared to fixed lines and provided other benefits such as access to Facebook and Zoom. Mobile phones began to take over," Chris says.
"We in the electricity industry are seeing the same shift right now, with a lot of opportunities coming from this massive industry shift.
"I love being in this space, it is very exciting being in an industry when there is a big shift happening. And we have something in the works that will soon become our biggest highlight."
A recent collaboration has been with RedEarth and Enova Community Energy. The two companies have partnered to enable households to achieve 100% renewables through their own generation and storage, and boost the local community''s potential virtual power plant capability.
