If you already have a solar system installed, you’re halfway to true energy independence. Adding a solar battery lets you store the excess energy your panels produce — giving you reliable power day and night.
At Aussie Solar Batteries VIC, we specialise in helping Victorian homeowners upgrade their existing systems with high-performance, long-lasting solar batteries. Here’s everything you need to know.
1. Check Your System Compatibility
The first step is to determine whether your current solar setup is battery-ready. Most modern inverters are compatible with batteries, but older systems might require an upgrade or an AC-coupled battery (which works independently of your inverter).
Our team can inspect your system and recommend the best battery configuration for your home.
2. Choose the Right Battery Type
Solar batteries come in different sizes and capacities, depending on your energy usage and system design.
At Aussie Solar Batteries VIC, we offer:
Lithium-ion batteries with 98.6% storage efficiency
10-year warranties for long-term peace of mind
IP66 waterproof rating for all-weather protection
6,000+ charge cycles for over a decade of reliable performance
Our experts will help you select a battery that matches your lifestyle and solar production.
3. Professional Installation by Licensed Electricians
Once the right battery is selected, our in-house electricians handle the entire installation — safely integrating your new battery with your existing solar system.
We never use subcontractors, ensuring consistent quality, safety, and service from start to finish.

4. Monitor and Maximize Your Energy
After installation, you can track your energy production and storage in real time through a smart monitoring app. This helps you optimise usage, reduce grid reliance, and save even more on electricity bills.
Our team will guide you through the monitoring system so you understand how to make the most of your new setup.
5. Take Advantage of Rebates and Incentives
Victorian homeowners can access solar battery rebates and low-interest loans that make upgrading more affordable than ever.
Our specialists can help you check eligibility and assist with the application process—saving you time and money.
