Savings and payback assume standard electricity prices for New South Wales, no price rises and no battery wear. Rebates assume installation today.

How it's worked out

  • Rebate: the federal battery rebate for each model's usable capacity if it's installed today, at a typical $38 per certificate.
  • Price: your quote if you enter one. Otherwise a typical installed price for that size, the same for every brand, so enter real quotes to compare brands fairly.
  • Savings: the same hour-by-hour model as the planner. Each battery stores spare solar for the evening, at your state's standard electricity price and feed-in rate.
  • Overnight: how much of a typical night's use each battery covers, after charging from your solar on an average day.

What else to compare

  • Warranty: years, and the energy it guarantees over that time. Ten years is typical.
  • Power: how many kW it can supply at once. Around 5 kW suits most homes; ducted air-conditioning may need more.
  • Blackout backup: whether it powers the whole home, selected circuits, or nothing in a blackout, and whether that costs extra.
  • Room to grow: whether you can add modules later, and whether it works with your inverter.
