Why install a battery?
- Reduce your bills even further by having your battery cover your night time usage
- In the event of a power outage a battery would allow you to still have power to run those essentials like lights and fridges until the mains power is back on.
- With the VIC Solar battery rebate reduce your payback time on the battery as well!
The rebate is for certain battery and inverter combinations. TESLA Powerwall 2 is the most common choice for those looking at installing a battery under the rebate scheme.
If you’re existing system has a hybrid inverter than give us a call and we can give you other options.
