Solar PV systems with batteries are a match made in heaven for homeowners!
Most Australians are not home during the day, so their energy usage is much higher during the mornings and evenings. As soon as the solar system stops generating power after dark or during outages, the household starts to run from the stored battery power, instead of relying on the grid. This is why solar battery storage is grabbing the attention of many Australians!

Solar Battery Backup: How does it work and what is the installation cost?
As Australia’s feed-in tariffs decrease every day, many households are deciding to upgrade their existing solar system with battery storage. This is not only helping them to store excess energy produced in the day but is also giving them the flexibility to offset their energy usage in the evenings/ nighttime when the electricity tariffs are the highest.
Solar battery backup systems offer more energy independence and resilience during a grid outage. These systems are capable of intelligently switching between solar power, battery storage, and grid power. Stay online when your neighbourhood is offline made possible by installing battery backup solution. This is an essential feature for businesses that run constant production or require electrical cooling or heating for their products.
Bespoke Solar’s team of CEC-accredited solar battery installers have the expertise to add on battery backup features when you get a solar battery installation done by us.

Solar Battery Rebate Programs, Subsidies & Incentives – 2023
The cost of transitioning to solar power in Australia has decreased during the past decade, partly due to solar rebates, national solar subsidy schemes, incentives, feed-in tariffs, and low-cost or interest-free battery loans offered by the government. Find out more about Australian Solar & Battery Rebates, Subsidies & Incentives – 2023 in your state.
Is there any solar rebate in VIC?
From the 1st of July onwards, interest-free loans of up to $8,800 for each Victorian household will be available for eligible applicants through the Solar Homes Program. You can also check for any solar battery rebate on the Solar Victoria website.
What size of solar battery do you need?
We are often asked this question, for a general overview on the battery size, if you already
have a 5kW system, or are looking to purchase one, you’ll likely need a battery with at least 10kWh capacity, more likely, up to 13.5 kWh.
A 5kW solar power system typically produces anywhere between 17 – 21 kWh per day depending on where you live in Australia. For most consumers, around two-thirds of a system’s production is fed back into the grid, which is around 13 kWh per day.
This 13kWh could instead be used to store your solar power in a battery.
If you use around 50% of your power during daytime which is when your solar system produces electricity, around half the production will be sent back to the grid, with that you could charge a slightly smaller size battery, like 10 kWh.
All the above figures are estimates only, and the right solar battery size for you will always depend on your unique circumstances.

Solar Battery Storage Solutions
What are solar batteries and how are they useful? When surplus solar energy is produced it will be stored by solar batteries installed alongside the solar panels and inverters.
Solar batteries simply store unused electricity generated by a home solar system during the day, for use at night-time, or in cloudy weather. Adding a solar battery storage will extend the capabilities of an existing system so it can work harder, especially during peak rates and even during blackouts.
Need Solar Battery Storage Solutions for Your Home?
Say goodbye to worrying about blackouts or rising electricity costs. By integrating solar battery storage into your home, you can enjoy energy independence, reduce your carbon footprint, and save on your utility bills.
It’s a win-win, for both your wallet and the environment.
