If your solar panels are already generating energy, a solar battery lets you store what you produce and use it when you actually need it — at night, during peak-rate hours, or when the grid goes down. Upgrade Energy installs high-performance residential solar battery systems across Victoria, helping homeowners reduce their reliance on the grid and maximise the value of their existing solar investment.
Most solar households send excess energy back to the grid for a small feed-in tariff — often as low as 3–5 cents per kWh — then buy that same energy back in the evening for 25–35 cents per kWh. A solar battery closes that gap by storing your surplus power for self-consumption.
Increasing solar self-consumption from ~30% to up to 80–90%.
