A solar battery stores eligible surplus electricity from your panels for later use, including in the evening when your rooftop system is producing little or no energy. For Doncaster households with air conditioning, electric hot water, EV charging or significant evening consumption, storage may increase the proportion of solar electricity used at home.
- Use more of your own rooftop solar generation.
- Reduce electricity purchased during some higher-priced tariff periods.
- View solar production and battery usage through compatible monitoring.
- Explore backup power for selected circuits if suitable equipment and additional backup hardware are included.
Actual savings depend on usage patterns, electricity tariffs, export rates, battery efficiency and system size.

|---|---|---|
| 5–10kWh | Smaller households or moderate evening loads | Night-time consumption and usable capacity |
| 10–15kWh | Families with regular evening appliance use | Solar surplus, tariff and output power |
| 15–20kWh | Higher-use homes or additional electric appliances | Charging opportunity and payback assumptions |
| 20kWh+ | Large homes or substantial overnight demand | Detailed interval data and system design |
