Unlock energy savings with a solar battery installation
Enhance your savings and achieve energy independence by installing a solar battery for your home or business. While solar panels are great for generating electricity during daylight hours, a solar battery enables you to store surplus energy for use whenever you need it, even when the sun isn’t shining. With a solar battery, you can enjoy a dependable power source at any time of day.
MPV Solar are the leading experts in solar battery solutions in Hunters Hill. Our team is dedicated to delivering customised solutions and professional installation to ensure you get the most out of your solar system.
Let us help you take the next step towards energy independence!
Which solar battery is right for you?
MPV will provide customised solutions to fit your system requirements. Depending on the size of your solar panel system, you will have a variety of options to choose from.
Adding solar batteries to your existing system
For homeowners who already have a solar panel system installed, adding solar batteries can be a straightforward process that significantly enhances energy efficiency.
Before installing solar batteries, it’s crucial to evaluate your existing solar system by checking inverter compatibility, analysing energy consumption patterns, and noting the system size in kilowatts. Once the assessment is complete, choose a suitable solar battery based on capacity, chemistry type (lithium-ion or lead-acid), and how it fits within your current setup. The installation process involves a site assessment, necessary wiring adjustments, and potentially upgrading the inverter for optimal performance. After installation, testing and monitoring tools will be provided to track energy usage.
Energy independence
One of the greatest advantages of installing a solar battery is gaining greater control over your energy consumption. Without a battery, you depend on the grid for power when your solar panels aren’t producing electricity, like at night. A solar battery allows you to store extra energy generated during the day for future use, significantly reducing your reliance on the grid. This is especially beneficial in areas prone to power outages or where the grid is unstable. With a solar battery, you can produce, store, and consume your own energy, minimizing dependence on external sources.
Reliable backup power during outages
A solar battery serves as a silent, efficient backup generator, free from noise, fumes, or complicated setups. When a power outage occurs, your battery automatically activates, ensuring your home remains powered. This feature is crucial for homeowners who rely on medical devices that need continuous power or cannot afford to lose electricity. Picture a storm knocking out power in your neighborhood; thanks to your solar battery, your home can stay energized for hours, depending on the battery’s capacity.
Financial savings
Investing in a solar battery can help you virtually eliminate your electricity bills. Your savings will vary based on energy consumption and local electricity rates. A solar battery allows you to store surplus energy when prices are low (like midday when your solar panels are active) and use it when prices are high (such as during peak evening hours). This shift not only reduces your costs but also maximises your solar investment.
Positive environmental impact
Solar batteries benefit not only your finances but also the environment. By storing and utilising more of the solar energy produced by your panels, you decrease the need to draw electricity from fossil-fuel-powered grids. This transition leads to fewer greenhouse gas emissions and a diminished carbon footprint. At MPV Solar, we are committed to collaborating with our community to promote sustainable energy solutions across Australia.

FAQs about solar battery & storage solutions
Your questions about MPV residential and commercial solar battery and storage questions answered.
What are the rebates for solar battery installations?
To make solar batteries more accessible, Australian residents can take advantage of several financial incentives:
- Government Rebates: The Australian government offers various incentives for solar and battery storage installations. Depending on your eligibility, rebates may significantly reduce the overall costs. MPV Solar can provide specific information tailored to your solar battery installation requirements.
- STCs (Small-scale Technology Certificates): When you install a solar system or a solar battery, you may be eligible for STCs, which can also help offset installation costs.
What are the costs of solar batteries?
When considering solar batteries, understanding the costs involved is crucial. The cost of a solar battery can vary based on several factors:
- Type of Battery: Generally, lithium-ion batteries are more expensive than lead-acid batteries but offer better performance and longer lifespans.
- Capacity: The larger the capacity (measured in kilowatt-hours, kWh), the higher the cost. Homeowners need to assess their energy needs to choose the right capacity.
- Installation: Installation costs can vary based on the complexity of the setup and the installer’s expertise. Choosing a reputable installer like MPV Solar ensures quality work and optimal performance.
Can I add battery storage to my solar system?
Yes, you can add battery storage to your existing solar system. This integration allows you to store excess energy generated during the day for use at night or during cloudy periods, enhancing energy independence and reliability.
Why do some solar panels have batteries and others don’t?
Solar panels can be used without batteries if the system is grid-tied, allowing you to sell excess energy back to the grid. However, systems with batteries offer more energy security, independence from the grid, and the ability to use solar power during outages.

Can old batteries be used for solar power storage?
While it is technically possible to use old batteries for solar power storage, it is generally not recommended. Old batteries may not hold a charge effectively or may have reduced capacity, compromising system performance and safety. It’s best to invest in high-quality, compatible batteries designed for solar applications.
How hard is it to add a battery to a solar system?
Adding a battery to your solar system can range from straightforward to complex, depending on your current setup. It typically involves installing a battery management system and may require professional assistance to ensure compatibility and efficiency.
Can I use solar panels without battery storage?
Yes, you can use solar panels without battery storage in a grid-tied solar system. In this setup, excess energy generated can be sent back to the grid, allowing you to draw power from the grid when needed. However, without batteries, you won’t have backup power during outages.
Which power is better to increase, solar panels or batteries?
The decision to increase solar panels or batteries depends on your energy needs and goals. If you want to produce more energy, adding solar panels may be beneficial. If you are looking to enhance energy storage for backup usage or to maximise self-consumption, investing in batteries is the way to go. Consider a balance based on your specific requirements.
