Shift evening load
Review daytime surplus and evening use before estimating useful storage capacity.
Home battery storage
Home battery installation for existing solar in Melbourne.
We check the current solar system, evening load, tariffs, switchboard capacity, backup expectations, and monitoring before recommending a compatible battery pathway.
A visible set of assumptions makes the product recommendation easier to question and compare.

Battery fit
Storage should solve a defined household use case.
Capacity and product choice only become useful after the operating goal and the existing electrical system are understood.
Plan outage backup
Define essential circuits, expected runtime, reserve settings, and the limits of backup operation.
Prepare for future load
Consider EV charging, electrification, tariffs, and possible solar expansion as part of the pathway.
Before quoting
Five checks shape a defensible battery recommendation.
These checks separate confirmed property facts from assumptions that still need site verification.
Household energy pattern
Bills, monitoring data, daytime surplus, evening load, and seasonal peaks.
Existing solar compatibility
Inverter pathway, array size, switchboard condition, metering, and available monitoring.
Outage expectations
Selected circuits, large loads, reserve level, changeover behaviour, and practical runtime limits.
Tariff and operating mode
Charge windows, discharge behaviour, export settings, and any retailer plan assumptions.
Placement and support path
Location, access, product records, warranty conditions, app setup, and handover ownership.
Decision path
One visible route from first review to supported handover.
Review
Collect bills, existing system details, backup priorities, property photos, and timing.
Define
Set the operating goal, compatibility path, site assumptions, and limits that need confirmation.
Compare
Present suitable product pathways with capacity, backup, monitoring, inclusions, and exclusions visible.
Deliver
Confirm site details, install, test operating modes, connect monitoring, and hand over records.
Installed system
The product is only one part of the completed system.
Placement, cabling, compatibility, configuration, app visibility, and records determine whether the battery remains understandable after installation.
After handover
Know what normal operation looks like.
A useful handover explains energy flow, operating modes, backup limits, monitoring access, and the support route if behaviour changes.
- Monitoring portal and customer app setup
- Operating-mode and reserve-setting explanation
- Product, serial, warranty, and installation records
- A defined route for alerts, unexpected behaviour, or warranty coordination
Next step
Start with the details that decide battery fit.
You do not need to choose a brand or capacity before the first review.
- Postcode and recent bill
- Existing solar and inverter details
- Backup priorities
- Tariff, timing, and future load plans
