Battery Storage Installation in Murray Bridge & Adelaide Hills
Store your excess solar energy and power your home day and night. Premium battery solutions with blackout protection from CEC-accredited installers.
Why Battery Storage
Benefits of Home Battery Storage
Solar panels alone only work during daylight. Add a battery and unlock the full value of your solar investment — storing energy for when you actually need it.
Blackout Protection
Keep your lights on, fridge running, and family safe when the grid goes down. Battery backup provides automatic switchover during outages.
Slash Power Bills
Stop buying expensive peak-rate electricity. Use your stored solar energy during high-tariff evening hours and dramatically reduce your bills.
Use Solar at Night
Your solar panels generate power during the day, but your family uses the most energy in the evening. Batteries bridge the gap so nothing goes to waste.
Reduce Grid Dependence
Take control of your energy supply. With battery storage, you rely less on the grid and protect yourself against rising electricity prices.
SA Battery Rebate $2,000–$4,000
South Australian homeowners can access $2,000 to $4,000 in subsidies through the SA Home Battery Scheme, making battery storage more affordable than ever.
Increase Home Value
Homes with solar and battery systems consistently sell for more. Buyers value energy independence and lower running costs.
How It Works
How Battery Storage Works
Your solar panels generate electricity during the day, often producing more than your home uses. Without a battery, that excess energy is exported to the grid for minimal feed-in credits. With a battery, it is stored for you to use when you actually need it.
In the evening and overnight, your home draws from the battery instead of buying expensive grid electricity. If the grid goes down, the battery automatically kicks in to keep your essential circuits running — lights, fridge, internet, and medical equipment stay on.
- Charge from solar during the day
- Power your home in the evening and overnight
- Automatic blackout protection within milliseconds
- Monitor usage and savings via smartphone app
- Reduce grid electricity purchases by up to 80%

Common Questions
Battery Storage FAQ
Answers to the most common questions about home battery storage for South Australian homes.
How much does a home battery system cost in South Australia?
A typical home battery system costs between $8,000 and $16,000 depending on the brand and capacity. With the SA Home Battery Scheme subsidy of $2,000 to $4,000, the net cost is significantly reduced. We provide detailed quotes with a full cost-benefit analysis so you can see exactly when the system pays for itself.
How long does a solar battery last?
Modern lithium batteries like Sungrow, Tesla Powerwall, and BYD are warrantied for 10 years and typically last 15 or more years. Most carry a warranty guaranteeing at least 70% capacity retention after 10 years or 10,000 cycles, whichever comes first.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?
Yes, in most cases a battery can be retrofitted to an existing solar system. If your inverter is a hybrid model, the battery connects directly. If you have a standard string inverter, we can add an AC-coupled battery like the Tesla Powerwall or install a new hybrid inverter. We assess your current setup and recommend the most cost-effective option.
Will a battery keep my house running during a blackout?
Yes, all the battery systems we install include blackout protection as standard. When a grid outage is detected, the system automatically isolates your home and switches to battery power within milliseconds. During daylight hours, your solar panels continue charging the battery so you can ride out extended outages.
What size battery do I need for my home?
The right battery size depends on your evening and overnight energy usage, your solar system size, and whether you want full backup or partial backup during blackouts. Most Murray Bridge and Adelaide Hills homes do well with a 10 to 15 kWh battery. We analyse your usage data and recommend the optimal size during our free consultation.
