Frequently asked questions
Do I need solar panels to benefit from a home battery system?
While batteries pair exceptionally well with solar systems, they can provide benefits even without solar panels. In homes without solar, batteries can still be charged during off-peak periods when electricity rates are lower, then discharged during peak times to avoid higher rates. However, the cost savings and return on investment are typically more substantial when paired with solar power generation.
How long will a battery system power my home during an outage?
The backup duration depends on three main factors: your battery system's capacity, your home's energy consumption, and what appliances you're running. A standard installation might power essential circuits (refrigerator, lights, Wi-Fi, select outlets) for 8-24 hours. Larger systems or those with managed load configurations can provide backup for multiple days. During our consultation, we'll analyse your critical power needs and design a system that provides appropriate backup coverage.
What's the typical lifespan of a home battery system?
Modern lithium-ion home batteries typically last 10-15 years with proper management. Most premium systems come with warranties ranging from 5-10 years or a specific number of charge cycles (typically 6,000-10,000 cycles). The actual lifespan depends on usage patterns, depth of discharge, ambient temperature, and maintenance. We select battery systems with proven reliability records and implement optimal configuration settings to maximise lifespan.
Will a battery system work during extended power outages?
Yes, but with limitations based on your system's capacity and energy usage. For extended outages, homes with solar panels have an advantage as the batteries can recharge during daylight hours. For homes without solar, the battery will eventually deplete without grid power to recharge it. For customers concerned about extended outages, we can design systems with additional capacity or integrate generator connectivity for comprehensive backup solutions.
Is it worth investing in a home battery system in the Northern Beaches?
The Northern Beaches area is particularly well-suited for home battery systems due to several factors: relatively high electricity rates, increasing frequency of weather-related outages, excellent solar potential, and strong feed-in tariff reductions making self-consumption more valuable. Most of our customers achieve payback periods of 5-10 years depending on their usage patterns, with the added benefits of energy security and reduced environmental impact. We provide detailed ROI analysis during our consultations to help you make an informed decision.
