Solar battery installation on the Gold Coast

A home battery stores the solar power you'd otherwise send to the grid for a small feed-in credit, so you can use it at night instead of buying power at peak rates. For most Gold Coast homes with a decent-sized solar system, a battery also means your key circuits can stay on during a blackout if the system is set up for backup. Before you buy, it's worth checking three things: that your switchboard has room and the right protection, where the battery can safely go, and whether your existing inverter is battery-compatible. We check all three and give you straight advice.

Federal battery discount

The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program gives an upfront discount on eligible home batteries installed with solar. The discount is applied at the time of sale and depends on the battery's size and the current program rules, which change over time. Ask us and we'll help you understand what applies to your home and make sure your electrical setup is ready.

Switchboard upgrades for solar

Many older Gold Coast switchboards don't have room for the extra circuit breakers, isolators and safety switches that solar panels and batteries need. A solar switchboard upgrade gives your system a safe, compliant connection and leaves space for a battery or EV charger later. If you're getting solar quotes, ask us to check the board first so there are no surprises or extra costs on installation day.

Solar inverter replacement and repairs

Inverters are usually the first part of a solar system to wear out. If your inverter is showing a fault, has gone quiet, or your power bills have crept up, the inverter may have stopped converting power. We can test it, replace it, or upgrade to a hybrid inverter that's ready for a battery. We also look at the electrical faults that stop solar working properly, such as tripped solar breakers, damaged isolators and loose connections.

Backup power for blackouts

Summer storms regularly knock out power in South East Queensland. With a battery and a backup circuit, you can keep the fridge, lights, internet and a few power points running when the grid goes down. We'll help you choose which circuits to back up so the battery lasts as long as possible.
