Solar Battery
What is a Solar Battery?
A solar battery is an advanced energy storage system designed to store the excess electricity your solar panels generate during the day. Instead of feeding unused energy back to the grid, a solar battery retains it for later use—during the night, on cloudy days, or during power outages. By integrating a solar battery, you ensure optimal utilisation of your solar system, reduce your energy bills, and gain energy independence.
At Greenlight Solar, we specialise in solar battery installation and offer customised solutions for homes and businesses in Sydney. We aim to help you make the most of your renewable energy while reducing reliance on the grid and contributing to an Eco-friendly future.

Which Solar Battery is Right for You?
Selecting the correct solar battery depends on your energy needs, budget, and system compatibility. Here are some of the top lithium-ion options:
- Tesla Powerwall 3: Known for its streamlined design, large capacity, and advanced energy management features, it is a remarkable choice for homes and businesses.
- Sungrow Batteries: Reliable and efficient, these are ideal for residential setups looking for affordability without compromising quality.
- Neovolt Batteries: Designed with high-capacity storage, these batteries are perfect for both residential and commercial energy needs.
Each battery has unique advantages, and consulting with our experts ensures you choose a solution tailored to your requirements.
How Does Solar Battery Storage Work?
When your solar panels generate more electricity than your property consumes, the extra energy is stored in a solar battery for future use. This stored energy can power your home during the evening, on cloudy days, or during outages, ensuring consistent energy availability. By using stored power, you minimise your dependence on the grid and lower electricity costs.
Modern solar batteries also come equipped with monitoring systems, enabling you to track energy usage and optimise performance, ensuring the best return on your investment.
Types of Solar Batteries
Solar batteries are available in various types, each suited to specific needs:
Battery Type Key Features Best For
Lithium-Ion Batteries
Long lifespan, high energy density, quick recharge times
Homes and businesses needing efficient, low-maintenance energy storage
Lead-Acid Batteries
Cost-effective, proven reliability
Smaller setups or budget-conscious users
Hybrid Batteries
Integration with solar systems and the grid
Flexible solutions for consistent power needs
Lithium-Ion Batteries
At Greenlight Solar, we specialise in lithium-ion batteries, such as Tesla Powerwall, Sungrow, and Neovolt. These batteries are:
- Durable, with a lifespan of 10–15 years.
- Compact due to their high energy density.
- Efficient, with rapid recharge capabilities.
They are ideal for properties seeking reliable, long-term energy storage.
Lead-Acid Batteries
Lead-acid batteries are an affordable option for smaller setups or users on a budget. However, they have a shorter lifespan of 3–5 years and require regular maintenance.
Hybrid Batteries
Hybrid batteries offer the flexibility of combining solar energy storage with grid connectivity, making them suitable for users needing a consistent power supply. While Greenlight Solar does not offer this type, we can guide you on their pros and cons.
Solar Battery Prices
In Australia, solar battery prices typically range from approximately $1,000 to $1,500 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of storage capacity, excluding installation costs. For example, a 10 kWh battery system may cost between $10,000 and $15,000, with installation expenses varying based on the complexity of the system and the location.
Government incentives can significantly reduce upfront costs. The New South Wales government offers rebates ranging from $1,600 to $2,400 for eligible households installing solar batteries. Additionally, an extra incentive of $250 to $400 is provided for connecting the battery to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP), with the opportunity to claim this benefit again after three years.
These programs are created to make solar battery installations more accessible, promoting renewable energy adoption and enhancing energy independence for Australian homes.
