You've made the switch to solar, but you're still seeing power bills that make you wince. Sound familiar? You're not alone. Many Australian
households with solar panels are still buying electricity from the grid every evening, wondering why their solar investment isn't delivering
the savings they expected.
The problem isn't your solar panels, it's what happens to all that excess energy you're generating during the day.
Here's the frustrating reality: your solar panels produce the most electricity during the middle of the day when you're probably at work or school. Without a battery, all that valuable energy gets exported back to the grid for a measly feed-in tariff - often just 5 to 10 cents per kilowatt-hour. Then, when you actually need power in the evening, you're buying it back from the grid at peak rates of 30 to 40 cents per kilowatt-hour or more.
You're essentially giving away your free solar power for peanuts, then paying a premium to get it back. It doesn't make sense.
A solar battery changes everything. Instead of sending your excess solar energy back to the grid, it stores that power for you to use exactly when you need it, during the evenings, on cloudy days, or even during blackouts.
Think of it this way: your solar panels are generating free electricity, and your battery is like a personal power bank that holds onto it until you're ready to use it. No more watching your hard-earned solar energy disappear into the grid. No more expensive evening electricity bills.
At iinergy, we work exclusively with trusted battery brands built for Australian conditions - Tesla Powerwall, Sungrow, and Redback Technologies.
With a solar battery, you're taking control of your energy usage. You'll slash your power bills by using your own stored solar energy instead of buying from the grid. You'll have backup power when storms knock out electricity. And you'll be doing your bit for the environment by relying on clean, renewable energy instead of fossil fuels.
Plus, there's never been a better time to invest. Thanks to the Cheaper Home Batteries Program, eligible Australians can save up to $18,600 on a new battery system in 2025 - but only if you act early, as the rebate reduces each year until 2030.
Your solar panels are already doing the hard work of generating clean, free electricity. It's time to make sure you're actually using it.
At iinergy, we handle everything, from selecting the right battery for your needs to professional installation and helping you claim available rebates. Our family-owned business has helped countless Queensland homeowners transform their solar systems from bill-reducers into bill-eliminators.
Don't let another evening go by paying for power you've already generated. Contact iinergy today for a free solar battery quote and start making your solar investment work harder for you.
